Rulebook on diamond NCAA

Is a coach allowed to bring a Rulebook onto the field to argue a rule with the umpire?

Thanks

There is no written rule in any rule set about the coach bringing a rule book on the field. I believe in NCAA is the coach requests the rule book be consulted the umpires must go to the rule book.

If an NCAA coach wants to protest, he better have a rule book handy; Rule 7.2: Protests. The NCAA protest process requires the coach to identify the rule or effect he/she believes has been misapplied, and then the crew goes to the book and makes a ruling on the field. I've learned the hard way that a coach saying something like "the rule where it says she can't do that" isn't sufficient to start the protest process.

Just bringing the book on the field to argue...well, as you can imagine, that coach should probably escalate to a protest quite quickly unless he's bringing his own rope and yardarm, too.
