I've worked with a lot of good, solid, dedicated officials who don't know specific rules (had a long discussion once with an official for whom I have a lot of respect about whether a shot at the wrong basket should count if time expires prior to the ball going in) that they never have the occasion to use.

Okay, perhaps saying they don't care is going too far, but they sure as hell can't complain that they weren't given the opportunity to learn.
