Now, now, coaches (and very good coaches at that) have mastered the art of managing and they never know but a few rules and then only what they were told.

Matter of fact, most good coaches don't know the rules, and they don't care. They just want to know what the official is calling and why.

A perfect example is the new rule changes that go in effect every year in FED and NCAA. The season will be almost over and a situation will happen and the coach will say something like "when did they change that rule?"

I'm sure the memo is sitting on their desk somewhere etc.,

Thanks
David
