Our local association in Northern Indiana, we have a coach's panel. We have about 4-5 coaches throughout the area, different ones every year, and the floor is open for amyone to talk. Much like our meetings. We are probably the most respected association in the state, putting the most officials into the state tourney. So, we pretty much get the coaches we invite to come because they know it will be "worth their time." This was the first year I went, being a newer guy, first year in the tourney, and I was very impressed of the subjects and scenarios that came up. I don't think coaches get offended here, they're turn will eventually come up. They are also, among non-member officials, welcome in all of our rules meetings. Like someone else said, they are welcome, but might not know when or where the meeting is held.
