Are there any states which require HS coaches to pass the FED rules test?

Does anyone know why they don't have to???

I don't know of anywhere where the test is required for coaches, but I don't know much. I would assume that they do not need to pass the test because they are not the ones who actually have to apply the rules.

In Washington State, I believe that if a coach fails to attend the rules clinic, he must take and pass the FED test in order to coach at the varsity level.

I'm glad our state doesn't make them pass a test, we'd have a shortage of coaches.

Most of ours attend the clinics but they usually only cover the new rules and the POE.

Most of the coaches I have seen at the rules clinics are nodding off half way through the clinic.

In ND they have to take a test, but there is no score requirement or anything. If they don't take it, then the school has to pay a $50 fine.

No doubt they all attend the rules clinic.
