That is what I don't like the most about the idea. It was a good time for us all to be in the room together, and for the state to set expectations. That way there ws no wiggle room for the coach when we called rough play or the such.
Here is Ohio, if the coaches bailed on the meeting, they banned from the state tourney for that year. It kind of encourages attendance.
What i meant by dropping a local meeting is this. We are required to attend a minimum of four local meetings per year. If we don't, we lose our license and have to do a big dance to get it back.

Do all the coaches that are actually going to coach have to attend a rules meeting? In Illinois, only one coach is required by school. But every single officials must attend one.
I think coaches should attend, but because many of them do not, coaches have no understanding of the new rules.
