coach red carded and coached next game

Yep. I screwed that up. My bad.

Nah, you didn't screw up. Here in Southern California, we have so many youth leagues, it's easy to get what the rules are for each league. As a referee, I get confused sometimes on the sub rules. The 1st weekend of this year's league, I was assigned to 4 CSL games on Saturday, then a SCDSL game Sunday afternoon and a CSL at 6pm. In CSL, you can sub at any stoppage, but in SCDSL, you cannot sub during any free kicks (direct or indirect), corner kicks or penalty kicks. For the SCDSL game, I was the AR on the Legends side and the coach called for a sub during a free kick which I signaled for, but the center caught it and disallowed it and reminded me it's a SCDSL. The coach laughed and said he was testing me. I told him he must be a Jedi and used the Jedi mind trick on me. We both laughed about it, but all the leagues are run different and again, it's easy to get confused.
