Warning for Delay?

Coach, if the official who made the call is unapproachable, then professionally and respectfully speak to the other official. Just explain to him that you're quite sure that each type of delay must occur a second time after the warning, before a T can be assessed. That's about all you can do. If you can't get the mistake corrected, call the assignor and ask him to handle it.

The other thing you can do is ask the official(s) to look it up after the game. State that you are going to do the same. Make it sound like a "learning" experience, not a "gotcha" experience.

It won't help you in this game, but maybe the officials (in this case; perhaps you in another) will learn the correct rule and become better officials for it.
