Do I gain anything by telling him? Do I lose anything by not telling him?
My experience is that coaches don't really want to know. They want you to look it up for your own benefit, not theirs. If he asks, definitely describe the whole thing politely. Especially the part about the NBA having a different rule. I think NBA games should run a little crawler across the screen periodically that says, "Rules in the NBA bear little relation to any other basketball, and should not be used as reference in non-NBA situations."
