Most coaches don't know the rules themselves.

Quoting rules will never hurt you in a game as long as you quote them correctly, however, I will agree, asking the coach to prove it would open up an extended conversation. My thing is to let him put his foot in mouth and then correct him. I would even go as far as to send him a copy of the actual rule the next day, to go along with his mis-interpreted statement to me. However, if you did not ask him for his version of what he felt should happen, you would not have that ammunition to fire back. It all depends on how important the game is.
