I would advise them to only inquire about a rule interpretation or rule enforcement situation. I would tell them to roll their eyes and not say a word about any judgment call.
My exact words to them are to "bite your tongue" and not say a word about any judgement call.
I think evan Jurassic would approve of that one.

Rolling their eyes are strictly reserved for interactions w/ mom and dad!

I do encourage them to provide appropriate hints in the case of improper rules interps/enforcement.

Here's an example...
OOB play, Bonus in effect both ways. B2 is pushed by A3, whistle and foul called on A3. Official starts to administer throw-in for B. Time-out is granted and captain approaches U2 and remarks "No team control on throw-in, we should be shooting FT for bonus" U2 stays with the call but goes tp ask U1 who also upholds the throw-in decision. Finally R approaches and decides to award FT.
Justice (and diplomacy) prevails.

This invites another question for you good folks...
Is this sitch correctable under 2-10 and what are the applicable timelines involved as to clock running or not?

Thanks
