Hey all,
Another way to look at it is this...
A rule book, pda, or any other reference source, that would be on site, is a crutch. A crutch is used when something is broken or not complete. If the rule knowledge of the official in any sport is complete, then the crutch is not needed. The manager's and coach's understanding of the rules are, in a lot of instances, misapplied. If they think that the umpire is misinterpreting a rule, then, as said before, that is what a protest is for.
