Yes, spend the money and get them. Giving someone a rules book is fine and good but until they see the situation it is generally not all that clear.
(Whew!) Also spend the money on casebooks. Again something that gives substance to the dry words.

As a coach, I've been buying the NFHS rules and case book, each year. It's been my experience and I'm sure the same for others, that the rules alone can be misinterpreted. The case book helps to provide a second view. There also used to be another book. I think it was a simplified rules book. I found this book to be extremely confusing.
