THEREFORE, telling someone to "go read the rule book" will NOT help them discover the additional resources.

Where have you been that these coaches are asking rule questions that can't be answered with a rule book?
I tried to find some coach questions on this site, but I go tired of looking. So I just went to eteamz, and there were lots.
Question 1: On the FED/NCAA board, a coach asks if the BR can overrun first after a walk.
Question 2: 3-2 count, check swing called a ball. By the time the PU gets help, the BR is on first. U1 reverses the call, and the coach want to know if this is legal or not.
Question 3: Someone asks if runners have to tag up on an uncaught infield fly.
Question 4: Someone asks if fan interference can be a one base award instead of the standard two bases.
Question 5: (This is a copy of the entire first post of one of the threads) "one of the pitchers in our babe ruth league has his hat falling off after nearly every pitch.is there a rule against this?it is a distraction to the batters. thanks"
Question 6: R1 & R2, batter squares to bunt, and is hit by the pitch. Everyone starts to move up, but the PU asks BU if batter attempted to hit the ball. BU calls a strike. Do R1 and R2 have to go back to their previous bases, or can they stay at second and third?
Question 7: (Another quote) "Bases loaded. Two outs. Ball is hit to third. Guy on third runs home. Third baseman throws the ball to second getting the third out at second After the third base runner hits home. Does the run home count? I say no. Friend says yes."
One does not need any extra resources to answer these questions. 99% of coach questions are simple questions which can be solved by having a basic rules knowledge.
