Isn't that extreme for someone who just didn't know a rule? You should understand that coaches of children's football are volunteers, many of whom don't have that much knowledge of the game.

We're down to 2 coaches per team in our division. It can be hard to find people willing to coach, and recent publicity of a severe child abuse case associated with children's sports and with American football hasn't helped.

Besides their availability, coaches are often chosen for their experience in keeping the att'n of children. Knowledge of the game is good, but sometimes has to take a back seat to other consider'ns.
