I agree with the above, that having the rulebook out there is trouble waiting to happen. If you just show him one rule (without definitions, etc.) things will be taken way out of context, and it really may look like you are wrong (imagine showing someone a kicking rule without them really knowing the definition of a kick). If you wanted to be thorough about it you may have to show him a few definitions and a couple of other rules. Not only would this halt the game for a while, but you still may not get anywhere in expanding the coach's understanding of the matter. I believe that the coach will just have to trust you at the time and at some point after the game your association can provide him with the relevant rules for any interpretations he questions.
