Any coach can attend a rules meeting. All that is required is a representative is supposed to attend a rules meeting every year or suffer some consequences by either being put on probations or possibly suspended from post season (I do not know the process, I just know there are consequences). Technically there does not have to be a coach that attends the rules meetings. It could be an AD. Usually the schools send the Freshman B coach that has never coached a day in his life and reports (supposed to) to the school what they heard. Many times they never say anything to the varsity coaches because when either my partners or I make a call based on a new rule it is not unusual for the coach to say, "I did not hear of that."

Thanks JRut for filling my gaps in. Around here, most of the varsity coaches are in attendence. But, I highly doubt they pay that much attention, they are just there to be there and fill out their attendence form.
