I disagree, sort of.
The baseball umpires have a great tradition of dumping any coach who even looks at a rule book during a game.
The best we can do is ignore him, which is what BITS should have done.
"Hey ref, it sez in this here rule book..."
"Sorry coach, I don't debate the rules."

Well, Dan, it seems that some officials feel threatened by coaches consulting a rules book. Obviously, I'm not one of them.
I don't have a problem with your advice to ignore it, but I also don't have a problem with an official simply admitting that he was mistaken.
