No one deliberately asks a stupid question - maybe it sounds that way to us, but try a bit of patience and being helpful may help break down some of the barriers....just a thought.

I have to disagree with you. I like the way Rex-X handled it. You walk away when the coach is clearly trying to get argumentative with you after you gave him/her an answer. You are not obligated to answer any question or to go through a long conversation so the coach can agree with what you say. Also, how long do you expect anyone to talk through a situation with the coach? I am lucky if I can say more than one sentence to a coach during live ball play. I am not going to have an elongated conversation with a coach when that coach clearly is ignorant and wants to tell you the official what the rules are. It is most of the time best to walk away.
Peace
