I forget the exact circumstance, but it was a rule that required knowledge of several defintions. My partner whips out the book and the coach quickly reads just the rule, not knowing the precise defintions. Now based on his 20 second reading of the rule, he is convinced for the rest of the game that we have no clue about any of the rules. There is never going to be enough time for the coach to read all the pertinant rules/definitions, so I think it is best to leave the book in the locker room.

I agree. A very bad idea.
Does Ohio do this in other sports as well?
