Hey, you were the one who said, "...this is about ego."
I didn't tell you how to run your game. But I am of the opinion that anyone who gets the red *** just because a coach produces a rule book to try to correct a mistake, that's a lot more than "a little healthy ego."

Where pray tell do the rules say he is allowed to? 5-8-4? There's nothing there explicitly allowing him to bring out a rulebook and this situation isn't a correctable error situation anyways.

He's allowed to go to the table to request a timeout for a correctable error OR a rule misapplication. The rules do not forbid him from having a rule book, nor have I ever seen any case play or interp supporting penalizing a coach who has a rule book and uses it in a professional manner. If he's going to address a rule misapplication, then he's going to have to be able to prove that he's right and you're wrong.
