For the current game situations, I agree with bob jenkins. Try to diplomatically ask your question about the rule, he gives good examples. If the crew does get together to discuss the rule, you have a chance to get the correct ruling applied. If not, maybe they will at least talk about it at half time or post game and go to the books to get the correct rule/application for next time. Personally, I would even OK if you caught us after the game to discuss the rule, provide you approached us in the right way. Some may not agree with this but I feel, as evidenced by the early replies that a lot officials do not know or mis-apply rules. Provided your approach is done in a "learning" mode, whether in game or post game, I'd have no problems with it.
