In a study done between officials and coaches, it was determined that 92% of officials knew the rules as to only 88% of the coaches.

The figures were given out at an association meeting and they were a cross section of many sports. I guess if you really wanted a scientific explanation then you would have to know how many of the referees were also coaches!!!!

The point being that when it comes to knowing the rules, the statistics favor the referee, no matter how you look at it.
