The rule in question was a park rule specifically addressed in preseason coaches meeting AND umpire training. My son didn't need to see the rule book as he was able to quote it to the coach without reading it. The coach told him his interpretation was incorrect and my son told him that is how it was explained in the umpire meeting and that is how he was going to administer it.
My son reviewed the situation with his trainer after the game and his trainer told him he did just fine. Both for his interpretation and sending the coach back without reading the rule book.
