Never walked on the field anywhere with it in my back pocket, nor did I imply that anyone should.

But just in case you couldn't get the crux of what I was saying, try this.

If your ego lacks the self confidence as an official that a coach walking on the field with a rule book is so totally offensive to you that your "dumping any coach that brings a rule book to me to question a call", then your part of the problem and not the solution. Unapproachable, arrogant, and just not cut out to be a good official.
