I have noticed that Jr. coaches are really bad about the rules and it's sad. Here in IL, they don't have to attend a rules meeting. Now if 6th-8th grade is suppose to be about learning the game, how is this suppose to happen if the coaches aren't teaching them the correct rules, etc.? I had a 7/8th game tonight and it went pretty good. But of course these are the hardest games to call.
There are no Rules Meetings for Junior High sports in Illinois. Even at the HS level only one person from a high school is required to attend a meeting. Usually the coaches send the Freshman B coach that has never coached a game in his or her life. High School coaches are not that much better, they usually have been coaching a little longer.

Peace
