The purpose in requiring coaches to put this in the book is a preventative mechanic and I have NEVER had a coach (we only ask the coaches not the captains) object to it in all the years that we have used it. Why would the coaches object?

If it's a standard practice, wouldn't the coaches just put the info in the book as a matter of course? You should rarely need to ask.

They usually do. Another standard practice that we are required to do before each game is to ask each coach in the presence of our partner(s) (for legal reasons) if their players are properly equipped (no jewelry, etc.)and ask them to place the emphasis on sportsmanship. Now those are ones I should rarely need to ask- I deal with one coach who has been coaching forty four years- but I do.
