I know there are many who would say otherwise, because of our school-sizes up here, teams are very limited on their numbers and often travel with younger players and many schools do not have certified refs working in their communities, so although I may penalize something, I often try to help educate younger players (until tourney time).
You cannot know all the rule differences to try and explain to the coaches, you leave one out and it's like your making up new rules to the coaches as you go along.
Player swats a ball off the rim, penalize it and say, "You cannot play the ball while it's on the rim here."
My sister was adopted from Slovakia and was used to putting the ball on the floor after a violation instead of throwing it to the nearest official. She travelled one time, knew it and was called for it, and put the ball on the floor and went the other way. Official talked to her about getting the ball to the official and play resumed, nothing hurt and didn't happen again.
