Garth, I agree with everything you said. That's exactly why I spend the time I do reading the rules. Like you said, it's my job to teach my players correctly. I take this very seriously. If I didn't care, I wouldn't be asking you guys for input.
However, nothing ticks me off more than an ump not knowing the rules. Maybe it's just me, but it's bad enough for a head coach to not know the rules, but it's unexcuseable for an ump to be ignorant. And I'm not talking about rare situations such as a bouncing foul tip 3rd strike. I'm referring to basic interference / obstruction calls.
Anyway, we seem to be on the same page and I was just looking for some practical interpretations of the rulebook.
