He Really Said It

[JRutledge]

I also assume that coaches do not know many rules until they prove me wrong.

How I deal with it is based on the situation and how adamant the coach is about the play. In this situation I would explain more of the rule if the coach insisted that this was interference. It is better to explain thoroughly and be right than let it go and they never understand IMO. But every situation is unique and most of the time it would never come to this or such a rule be misunderstood by a coach. Then again, I had a coach get upset with me last year because I did not give his pitcher another ball on a rainy day after a foul ball and I had no other baseballs to give him. And many of the remaining baseballs were the responsibility of his team to retrieve, but they let them go. I am not surprised how ignorant coaches can be sometimes.
