I know this is off topic but the more and more we talk about UC on coaches I tend to get the impression that under Fed rules y'all are supposed to flag coaches for "showing you up"? Some of what I have seen you guys say you would flag a coach for really baffles me. But I am not using your code and do not attend the training under NFHS guidelines that y'all do so maybe that is why.

I would never flag a coach for just telling me to look at his rulebook. Course i doubt I would look at it anyway in a youth league game.

The NAFL (one of the many "semi-pro" leagues in the country) does have a procedure whereby coaches can "challenge" an interp or ruling. If they do so, then the R is supposed to go to the sideline and has 2 minutes to review the rulebook before ruling on the challenge. It is sort of NFL-light sort of review.
