Wings switch

If I/we are being such a$$es that the official on our sideline feels he needs a change, then something should have been done about it earlier - that's what USC flags are for, right?

I guess I just don't see how it is going to make things "better."

So, if you fail to achieve "rapport" then it is ok to flag for a USC?

That's not what I said. If the thinking behind the OP is that the LJ and HL "need" to switch then somebody didn't take care of their sideline, did they? On the other hand, if there is a rapport, why mess with it.
