I don't think anyone was saying that it's hard. The OP was just asking if there was anything that could be done now that the other coach went douchebag and filed a protest over a technicality. I was a manager for several years and made sure that I kept the cards in a zipper pouch with my name on it because someone told me about a similar horror story. But I did once have to race back home from halfway to Palmdale because I'd left them in the driveway while I was packing the car, so yeah, sh#t happens. Unfortunately,
@socalkdg, looks like this one will have to be chalked up under "life lesson" for the TA and coach.
