We had a C/R conference requested this year in a game where a team was flagged for holding on
3 consecutive plays. When I arrived at the sideline to meet the coach, the conversation went sorta' like this :
COACH : " Please define 'holding' for me ".
RESPONSE : "the book definition, or the practical definition?"
C : "What just got called on us on three plays in a row."
R : "We focus on the runner's advance and are there any illegal acts by his teammates that aid
him"
C : "Have you ever seen holding called on 3 plays in a row?"
R : " I have never seen a team THAT WAS holding on 3 plays in a row, but if you do this long
enough, I 'spect you'll see everything."
C : "Ayuh, 'spect so."
It cost him a TO..he vented...I responded....play continued...and the band played on....
