For just in case the AD might have to cover for someone being ill. Also the AD should know how to operate the scoreboard without any problems.
Hopefully this last statement has changed since last year, as that's what happened.
The poor AD's head would explode if they had to know all the rules officials have to know. I can see an AD being an official for 1 or 2 sports their school participates in, just not every single sport.
