This may not and probably isnt the same type of situation you had but, as an official with children playing ball on competative teams, I felt a responsibility to teach them the rules of the game. They helped me to study and review the rules and interpretations each season. To me this is not a bad plan. Now when they are playing they know the rules and when calls are incorrect or obvious (to them) and do not getting any whistles, they would look to me. Sometimes I would to direct them to continue playing like they have been taught and they will get the right calls.

Theres the hitch that comment can be construed as trying to show up the official. Right or wrong it was not intended that way.
