I am not using his reference to bolster my position. Like I have said before, what you do personally is up to you and what you are comfortable with. I just think that coaches often are irrational and often do not understand why we do things as officials. I have done many things over the years that officials clearly do as the norm and had that called into question by coaches at all levels. I had a coach think that I was supposed to do more to give the last 5 seconds on a play clock during a scrimmage kick situation. I just think in this situation someone hears you, unlike many other things we might do on the field.
