[Senior Chief]

Apparently you didn't read the full article. The coaches did not agree with the email (not rules) from the commissioner and called him with respect to his "requirements". By the end of their phone conversation the coaches were under the impression that it was agreed the coaches would decide how to play the son.

I did read that.

Why then did the coaches abide by the conditions of the e-mail the entire season, only violating those conditions in the last game when the commissioner was out of town?
