A little information is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Plus, you have "But this ref said...". I'm not against coaches knowing the rules, I'm against giving that sort of validation and authority to people who aren't looking to use it properly.

SpeedyGonGoalie,
We put our knowledge on the block every game.
We deal with your suggested "blah, blah" every game.
What's the difference? The environment, ... as a protagonist in an educational, close and non-confrontational setting.
