An Idea: "Rules of the Game" Room
I've toyed with the idea of asking an AD to provide and promote to the fans a room, staffed by an experienced official with actual rules book and casebook, where interested people can go to get educated regarding the rules of the game. It would be necessary that the one staffing the room not be an official involved in the games that night.
Between games, at intermissions, people can pop in, ask a question, get an informed answer, then take their position in the bleachers as a further-informed fan.
Don't know how well it would work, but it seems as if it would be a step in the right direction. I'm not so much proposing this idea as an official, rather as an occasional observer at my former high school who'd like to see the level of reason of the average "fan" rise to a reasonable level.
