Controlling Players

[devdog69]

I totally agree with the no touch thing, but I have caught myself twice this year in football. I don't know why, I never touch a player in basketball. Once a player was up in my grill arguing a touchdown he thought should have been down at the one, called by my backjudge (he was right), I told him it was ruled a touchdown and would not be changed that backjudge ruled the ball crossed before the knee was down and he kept on arguing, I just kind of pushed him back towards his huddle. Another instance where a player committed an unsportsmanlike act, I gave him a very small shove backwards to get him back. I guess because there is so much contact in football, I have to work to keep myself from being part of it, in both cases, I could see myself as a coach going off on a "don't you dare touch my kids or else, rant".
