Man, I was worried this thread was dying! I think the issue is being obfuscated to did busco or didn't busco tell the kid to put the water away. This truly has no bearing on the issue at hand. The question I would like answered by the "law abiders" is "would you, in the situation as presented, as an opposing coach, go to the ref and point out the breaking of the rule or would you go to the kid's coach and tell him the kid is in danger of being dq'd if he doesn't stop driking water? Frankly, once the ref was notified, he had no choice but to uphold the "letter of the law" and dq the kid. IMO, it didn't have to get that far.
