It seems the coaches around here are happy to avoid the whole I explain it to their captain who barely remembers he's the captain, who hopefully can then repeat the explanation correctly, so that the coach can hear it and make a decision, to have said confused 18 year old figure it out again & repeat it to me.
We just go with cutting out the unnecessary middle man and getting the game moving along.

Ha!

Good explanation...and I get it. I'm really not trying to argue the point or anything...I like this explanation and ajmc's. It's an attempt to stop a stupid mistake - I get that. Thanks for explaining it.
