Does it matter it it crosses the net?

[Brian Watson]

This is why coaches need to know the rules.

Had your coach had a good grasp of the rules he/she would know:

A) This is the wrong application of a rule.

B) They could have asked for a timeout and made the officials check the rulebook.

This is clearly a misapplication of a rule, and would have been reversed when the officials could not support it with the book.
