I do not see the problem with printing out the rule changes and have it with you along with the old rulebook until the new one is out.
FWIW, if a coach decides to cause a "$hitstorm" over this issue, it will be a very short lived "$hitstorm".

Yeah, but usually the temas are told about rule changes, even though the books are not out. That was apparently not the case with this rule change.
