Don't forget that, as Chuck implied, when the assistant gets a T, the head now has an indirect and must remain seated. That's also in rule 10 under the penalty section.

When I did when I was in my second and third year was to memorize the names and numbers of each of the 10 rules. Then I memorized the most important section numbers from each rule. This isn't as hard as it sounds. When a coach questioned a rule, I'd give a number. The NEVER argued after that.

The other thing you can do with a smart-aleck who thinks he knows the rules is to say, "Yes, I've got my rule book out in the car. But do you have one handy right here?" Don't worry, they won't. Often that will back them off, even if you can't show them the rule. You'd probably better have a rule book in the car, just in case.
