MN BB Ref,

Fair assessment. And you are right, it is the player that is responsible for what happens, not the official. The way you described it is really what I meant. I will still say, however, that if the official makes the wrong call (I am not saying that he did) in that situation, it does change the outcome of the game.

BktBallRef,

1- explain what call was made and why

I guess I don't understand what your point is here. What does this have to do with the coach's knowledge of the rules? Because I ask you what call was made and why is not implicit to my not knowing the rules. Many times in the game, I would ask this particular question because I may have not seen a block in the back, for example, but that doesn't mean I don't know what a block in the back is. Please elaborate on what you mean here.

2- explain a rule to a coach that he did not know or was confused or wrong about.

You got me here, this probably happens too often. Which is why I say coaches need to know the rules. It doesn't happen to me because I feel like I have a thorough knowledge of the rules...not trying to brag here, it is just something that I feel is very important, because as I have pointed out several times on this site, I think that one play can be the difference in a game, and I can't afford for my lack of knowledge of the rules to be a decider. So I agree wholeheartedly with Snake~eyes.
