Come backs for Coaches

[Y2Koach]

Haha, point taken... "Listen coach, I may be wrong, and don't know the rule, but you shouldn't let others know, just keep it between you and me"... so do you guys think it would be acceptable for an official to challenge a coach to a wager with the rulebook in the middle of a game?

It seems to me what you are saying is that the officials can use the rulebook to tell a coach he is wrong, but a coach can't do the same? I'd think it would be more important for the refs to know the rules, no?

I know the "proper" way to handle it in some of your eyes would be to discuss it with the assignor after the game, but that may benefit the officials but definitely not the game play.

Can't wait for the season to start. The local association will be breaking in some newer officials at one of our scrimmages in the pre-season.
