He can recite the rule in question to the pool reporter, the mechanics with regard to the incident in question, he can leave that to the report. Frankly, I could care less if he didn't know the rule. An umpire once in his career is entitled to forget a rule or a ball-strike count, it happens. When you try to hide from it right after the game, you turn a bad situation and make it worse.
