Coaches & Officials Meeting

[JRutledge]

Well, we had a "kind of" coaches meeting at one of my associations on Tuesday. The problem is only one longtime coach who belongs to the officiating association show up. Every other coach that was asked canceled for some reason.

The best part was this particular coach was a long time head coach and AD and now an assistant coach after retiring from his last head coaching position. He is a great guy and gets it and is also the Executive Director of the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association. So he has a perspective of the entire game. He gave some great incite and unfortunately for him was the only voice, but was beneficial to us.

But this was a rare situation. Usually, the coaches have a bitch session about what officials do not do right or have expectations of what we should do that is not realistic (like communicating with us during games).

Peace
