As I've said ad nauseum, this site has helped my appreciation and understanding of the game, and officals, immensely. I'm in "tweener" status right now - I coached my older son at the youth level, but he is now in high school, and my youngest is too young to play yet, so I'm just a spectator these days.
And, while my rules knowledge has really improved, a side benefit to lurking on the site is getting a better understanding of the "mindset" of officials. I don't mean that in a bad way. Again, it just gives me a better understanding of game "atmosphere".
