Coach -- Great vocab! Or were you implying that I'm a member of the hoi polloi?
My suggestion about your situation is that you pick your battles. You are correct about the interp of this rule, but I'm not sure it's worth fighting for. Remind your players that "around here this is how they do it" and save your ammunition for something more important, like how to reset after the clock is incorrectly started when there are 2.4 seconds left on the clock, and you need to get the ball to the far end of the court and shoot. Or how to tell whether a shot was a try or tap in the last .3 second of a game. Or whether to grant a TO or not on an "inadvertant whistle".
