Game is delayed, all are watching you thumb through the book, partner is most probably thinking "What the hell?"...
The reason I use this example is because if an umpire is unsure of a rule, he probably will have trouble finding it in the book(lack of studying?). If one is sure of the rule, no book is needed......Or clueing in the coach can wait till after the game

If I am not 100 percent on a rule which its more likely that Im not 100% on an effect of a crazy situation I can damn sure tell you rule and section that I need in the rule sets that I work. aka NCAA PONY ASA NFHS soooo no if you need it get it if you dont then don't. Bottom line PREVENT protests
