He asks since when can a player driving to the basket, jump and stop on both feet and then make a lay-up I paused (shocked by the question) and answered at least the past twenty years. The technical term is Jump-Stop. He stared at me in disbelief and said what do you think this is the NBA. I just shook me head and walked away. WOW!

Yes, I can believe this. I had a D1 women's college coach, year's ago, ask me to go over the travel rule with her after her team had finished practice. I used the rule book and casebook and we went through the rules literally step-by-step. When we were done, she told me that the rules were wrong. Go figure.
Also, I wish I had a dollar for every time a coach has requested a timeout while his team has control of the ball in front of their bench, and then after the timeout the coach asks me who gets the ball and where?
