What percentage of your coaches A) know this rule? B) Can find their rule book in 10 minutes?

c. Following this notification of protest, the head coach shall be allowed approximately ten minutes to use his/her National Federation Rules Book, National Federation Case Book, MSHSAA Rules Meeting Announcements and/or MSHSAA Sport Manual to locate and show the game official(s) the appropriate rule reference which clarifies a misapplication of the game rule.

I would say 10% or less. My buddy who is the Coach at the school where I teach has used this successfully in the past.

How does the MO rule work? I assume the coach has an underling retrieve the rulebook and look through the book so he/she can continue coaching.

But what does the coach then do? Go to the table, similar to a CE? If the coach is correct, how is the error addressed? And what happens to all the 10 minutes of intervening activity? I assume that none of this is "undone," even if the result of the incorrect ruling. If the coach is wrong, is a TO charged?

Wow.

You mean everything comes to a halt? For (possibly) ten minutes? What are the players allowed to do? I know Missouri is The Show Me State, but....

Correct. Teams go to their benches.

If schools are using an iPAD to keep stats on, I would hope they have downloaded the NFHS app with the rule book. Pretty easy to find the rules with a quick search.

So if I'm a coach, what prevents me from "protesting" to create an extra long time out? I take 5 minutes with my team while an assistant "looks for the rule book" and then say "sorry, you're right, my bad."

What a stupid rule. I wonder who's ox got gored to create that nonsense.
