It's great to have this knowledge coach and welcome to the forum. This knowledge and understanding of the rules is very critical for referees. I'm not sure that it would help a coach too much. You might face this situation once in a season, that would be a tough one to argue since it's judgement call anyway.

knowing the rules inside out would be a great advantage to ANY and EVERY coach. This goes for every rule, every team. With the possible exception that very few 6th grade girls coaches need to brush up on BI or GT.

I did a game tonight with a coach that knew it all (I mean, he really did, and so did his players!) against a coach who, well, didn't. Guess who got blown out of the water? The fouls were incredibly lopsided, but it wasn't because we were doing a lousy job, rather because one coach knew how to tell his players to play. Seems like an advantage every coach would want for his team!
