One association I belonged to decided to invite a coach to address us. He is a former NBA player. His "talk" consisted of 10 minutes on how he hated it when officials called double fouls against post players early in the game.
I found out later that his son had just played in a game in which he picked up two early fouls in just that manner and eventually fouled out in the 3rd quarter of a close game. His team lost that game.
We didn't invite any more coaches to attend meetings.
In my rec league, we tell all our coaches (over 200 head and assistant coaches) that they are welcome at the referee meetings. No one has ever come, although some of our refs attend the mid-season coaches meeting.
