Coach finds funny rule loophole from @ariellehoulihan

A coach on the sideline of a sports game is told that only two coaches can be standing at a time. To comply, she comically sits and then lies down on the court's edge instead of taking an empty chair. The video then cuts to show the amused and worried reactions of another coach and a line judge, all set to a trending audio track.
