What not to do is to hand the official the case-play during the pre-game conference.

I don't believe I would bring it up in the captain's meeting. I think you're only asking for trouble because you know the way this official is going to answer, he is then going to get, most likely, defensive for the remainder of he game because you've set him up for embarrassment.
Around here all the officials go over and shake the hands of each coach prior to the game. I would ask him then if you want. "Gentleman can I ask you a rules question? On a throw-in..." Otherwise I would ask the AD to contact the assignor for clarification on the ruling.
Of course all of this is assuming you can get the coach to further investigate. Just my two cents
