From the linked article, "So only two copies of the rule book go out to each sanctioned team and others are provided upon a showing of genuine affiliation and need."
It appears that this whole mess could have been avoided if the father asked the coach if he could use one of the team's 2 copies of the rule book. If the coach couldn't or wouldn't supply a rule book he should have checked with the district administrator, who should have a copy or be able to obtain a copy for the district umpires.
As an aside, anyone who'd volunteer to umpire a baseball game but doesn't know that a batted ball that hits a base is a fair ball should remain in the stands with the rest of the parents.
