It is clear that no one there had a clue; if you are going to explain the rules (mini-clinic, as was said), there might as well be everyone possible getting it first hand. Coaches, players, and parents.

Explaining it to the clueless coach won't get it trickling down accurately.

You have to know the time and the place, but this is a great technique we call "learning moments" in my local youth leagues.
