Never claimed that coaches know the rules. I had a player closely guarded, she knows the rule, picked up her dribble after about 4 seconds, began looking to pass, and the opponents coach begins screaming for a 5 second count. He then calls timeout and discusses it with the officials. He told me afterward that the ref told him that once the dribble was picked up, the count started over at 1. When I said "yeah," he was incredulous, and admitted he didn't know that was how the rule read. Lack of a rulebook cost him a TO!
