Re: My Association Encourages Coaches' Participation

The Middletown (OH) Basketball Officials Association has a standing "open door" policy regarding visits by coaches. All area coaches are invited to attend all association meetings. They don't need an actual invitation. This policy is printed in the association's handbook that is distributed to members and all area schools. Each year we proactively invite 2-3 coaches to speak to us, although we're lucky to get even one to actually show up. I'm not sure how the invitees are selected, however. When they do show, they usually speak for 5-10 minutes, and it usually encourages a good exchange between him/her and the officials. Common themes are the need to be on time for each game and to call it consistently.
John -- thanks for the suggestions about camp. Yes, I will have video.. . Thats the most important part about camp, Ibelieve. Like the suggestion about the magnetic board. Your e-mail doesn't seem to be working, which is why I've responded here.
