I've posted this before on this forum, but I don't mind posting it again.
My method is that whenever a coach argues with me about a rule, not a judgment call, and the coach is incorrect, he receives a technical foul.
This accomplishes two things. 1. It gets the coaches to stop yapping at me about the rules. 2. Perhaps, just maybe it might get the coach to go find an actual rules book and look it up. There is a slim chance that the coach might learn something.
