Having good rules knowledge can certainly help coaches. But, at least the coaches I've dealt with, apparently don't spend any time teaching their kids the finer points of the rule book. They're worried about coaching basketball, and they let us worry about the rules.

Most high school coaches have never read a rule book. In Va. each school is given one by the VHSL every year. I think the schools recycle them to help the environment.
