Pay careful attention to Scott's recommended approach.

If your league has protest procedures, you will not be able to protest an umpire's judgment (ball, strike, out, safe, etc.) Scott was giving you an approach that would get the illegal pitch call out of the realm of judgment and into the realm of misapplication of the rule. You want him to tell you what he saw, and what he thinks the illegal action is first before you state your case. In other words, you want him to give you grounds for the protest.

Also, be aware that many umpires consider a coach bringing the rule book out onto the playing field to be an ejectable offense. You can refer to it all day in the dugout, but don't bring the book out onto the field unless the umpire asks you to.
