We get on the field, and Larry's at the plate meeting. I'm thinking to myself, "This is going to be bad if Moe refuses to come out." I ask Larry, "Where's Moe?" He says, "He wanted to take the day off from decision-making. I'm going to be in charge today, so I'll be the one talking to you guys." Wow!

Penalty: The head coach will be restricted to the dugout for the remainder of the game, except to attend to a sick or injured player, if he refuses to attend the pregame conference.

That's not what I'm wondering.

Since you know he wasn't the manager, you should have insisted he be there. If he declines then he stays off the field, period. Not to be a jerk or an OOO, but the rules require him to be there so he has to be there.
