If you're shunning this book because it's unofficial, that's a shame. It is the best teaching guide I've ever seen and my crew uses it for a variety of things, including putting together our weekly crew quiz. I use it when preparing for association meetings, as well.
I am not talking about what I would tell a coach. I am saying that the book is not what I would rely on for clarification as we have people do to that for us. I would never tell an assignor that, an evaluator that or someone from the state office based on that book. Only the interpretations we get from our state matters and the book might be a good learning tool, not something I can hang my hat on as the final say. And certainly not something people around here use in meetings or presentations. Also our crew has some very knowledgeable people on them and we always find items to generate discussions for our crew for pre-games and other discussion items. I have never seen the use for that book.

Peace
