I love this game.

As a baseball coach and basketball official this bums me out on several levels. I will admit to not knowing all the ins/outs of all baseball rules, but I make sure not to comment on it if I don't have the rule locked down (or comment much at all - I'm suppose to coach, not officiate). If I'm unsure about a rule I will, shocker, look it up or post a question on the baseball official's forum.
The saddest part of your situation is you know that coach isn't teaching the kids what they need to know in order to play the game within the rules and control what they can control (hint - officials aren't one of them).
