Mark, It's just my opinion, but you REALLY need to come down off the "professional" bit. We're not professionals. But even if we are, we can't dictate to a coach how to run his practice. This coach works with 5 different teams for a small Lutheran school. They rent a small gym from a small Catholic church in town. He simply cannot give up an hour of practice time for a rules lecture. I understand that in an ideal world, we'd get all the time we wanted to stress all the new points of emphasis and everyone would be ecstatic to hear them. But that's not where this team is located, so I get 15 or 20 minutes. The fact that he wants me there at all says that he wants his players to get a better perspective on the game.
