Same in Missouri. It's fine except that sometimes it helps if you are well aware of the other rules. The new rule interps are easier to understand then.
IMO, it's like TV gameshows. We can sit at home watching and get alot of the answers correct and wonder why those who are in the game don't see what we see. This is what separates officials. When everyone is looking to you on an uncommon application, do we freeze up or respond correctly and with confidence.
Usually, when discussing rules with coaches, they understand most of it. Yet when the game is on the line and the pressure is mounting, they sometimes forget.
