"George Halas" joke

Years ago famed Chicago Bears coach George Halas was screaming at a referee from outside the designated coaching area when the ref slapped George with a 5 yard penalty.

Halas threw down his hat and yelled at the referee, "you imbecile, it's a fifteen yard penalty, not a five yarder for coaching outside the box" -- to which the referee supposedly replied, "I know, but the way
you coach George, it'll only be five".
