Middleman, you as an official know the rule. A lot of coaches don’t. If a head coach calls a time out and asks for a conference, and insists on seeing the rule in black and white we have the book handy to show him what the rule says. If we are correct, and we usually are, he goes back to the sideline a little humble and the game goes on. If we booted the call we can correct it and go on a little embarrassed, but at least we got it right.
