I am an AD. I have also been a basketball official for 15 years and STILL occasionally recheck, study rules, and ask questions in the sport I am allegedly an expert in.
My experience as a basketball official has taught me that even though I probably have more knowledge of the rules in other sports than the average fan, the last thing I would do is pretend that I know every detail of every rule for the other 11 sports that I administer.
I run an athletic department- not a rules clinic. I trust that the contest officials will be the experts on matters of rules, and if I have a question, they will be able to answer it or send me to a person who knows the answer.
