Coaches & Officials Meeting

[Pantherdreams]

I have been part of many of these meetings, where officials are invited or brought into coaches meetings. Pretty standard fair around these parts. IME

* Coaches at these meetings want info re POints of Emphasis and balls and strikes type stuff.
* HS coaches do not care and are often put off if we want to talk about protocol or fashion police type items. They want us in the room to find out or ask questions about how game will be called. They see the rest as officials issues or. Administrative stuff that is not their domain.
* Meetings go better when speaking officials gives 2-3 clear points and explanations and ask for questions re those points. Long sit and get type sessions or open forums can become problematic.
