it's not my job to point out everything that should be covered in the plate meeting prior to said meeting. if he doesn't cover something and then asks if i have anything to add, you can be damn sure i'm gonna add it if it is relevant, and especially if it is ground rules related. that point is moot, though, as the plate meeting was not the issue. he asked me, i said yes, then added what i added. everyone was cordial and said, "no problem." the issue arose post plate meeting when the coaches were hanging out outside. the "shut up and stand there" routine that i've seen posted on here is fine for the most part. however, if it is ground rules related, you'd better pipe up if you do have something to add.
