Up here in Washington, head coaches are required to attend the clinic at the start of each sports season. While the clinics are now online, they are still required.
Unfortunately, the clinic usually emphasizes rule changes and clarifications, than actual rule study. Perhaps all head coaches should be officials for at least one season first.
