I agree with Parepat. It is about the game and not us. Take the official's egos out of the game and it will be a better game.
How many times has a crew gone into the locker room at halftime or after the game and looked up a rule only to find out they got it wrong? Often times it effects the outcome of a game.
We should all strive to know the rules and we should not pull out the rule book every game. But on those rare occasions when the crew is not sure and it is an important call that may effect the outcome, I say pull it out near the sideline and get it right.
I have never personally carried a rule book during a game, but as a previous poster stated, one member of the crew was required to carry one during the California Southern Section playoffs.
