I am with Rich on this one, but I see your point. We really do not need to be asking all those questions. I can maybe understand asking them about being properly equip. We do that in other sports. But to ask them about something that is going to happen in the future is just plain silly. I have no problem with greeting coaches and wishing them good luck at all. That is a very professional thing to do especially at the high school level where all the adults are supposed to be teaching these kids life lessons or things beyond the classroom. I just think we do not need to ask them their blood pressure and their SAT scores.

Peace
Jeff,

Illinois requires that we invite coaches to the captain's meeting. I think this is a bit over the top myself -- in WI we simply greet the coaches at 1:30 and ask two simple questions. Players attired? Promote sportsmanship? Of course, I greet them by first name before they even introduce themselves and I am friendly so I never get any problems....

I'm surprised people find this to be a big deal.
