If you mean this last statement, then stop creating YOUR zone, and use the book as best as you can... and DEFINITELY stop using the plate conference as a platform to tell the coaches that you've thrown out the rulebook and invented your own zone.

Is it a crime or taht improper to pull the Umprie aside and ask before a game??
If the other comments haven't answered this already, I'll be more clear... Yes, it is a crime. Don't do it.
