I tell them, "The rule is practically the same." Which from my understanding it is and that usually shuts them up on the spot.

I'll use that line on a coach. Either that or I'll quote the rule and that will quiet the coach. Can't argue with a rule they don't understand!

I did use that line on a coach once and he sarcastically repeated it to my partner.

As far as I know it is too. Now if we could just get officials at the high school and college level to apply it consistently...
