Well, that is not "Connecticut only". It's in the Virginia pre-season NFHS rules clinic every year.

Captains, Head Coaches, Officials Pregame Meeting ...
For your information, many, many, years ago we had a few head coaches regularly refuse to attend the pregame meeting, either because they had a gripe with the officials, or because they had a gripe with the opposing head coach. Our state interscholastic sports governing body considers this to be unsporting. Luckily, we as officials don't have to "force" the matter. We just hold the meeting with those who bother to attend, and report the violation to our assigning commissioner. He contacts the state interscholastic sports governing body, and they, in turn, contact the school's principal and athletic director. I've never had a problem with this, sometimes maybe a head coach supervising the taping of an injured player's ankle who sends his assistant coach the meeting.

Out of Bounds Responsibilities ...
Quote:
We've got veteran guys who like the older mechanic of the lead taking the entire sideline. Yet, many veterans will use the newer mechanic of the lead taking the sideline only to the free throw line extended. New guys are only taught the newer mechanic, but will often work with veterans who use the older mechanic. So, it's important to be on the same page depending on who you work with. Many pregames end up with a statement like, "When the ball goes out of bounds above the free throw line, let's be sure to get a whistle on it. We don't want the ball to end up on the coaches lap with no whistle. Two whistles are better than none. We'll figure it out after".

I don't like reviewing rule differences in pre-games because the conversations delve off too much into what the rule is in the level we're not working that night. My experience is that officials start mixing it up when you start bringing up another level.
But if you are going to review rule differences in the pregame, do it for yourself. Don't say you're doing it because you think one of your partner's needs the review. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

We (Officials in Board 12 and MBOA) do the reviews for ourselves, and we only say "Today is a (WCAC girls) game. We have a 30-second shot clock, no closely guarded on a dribble, 10 second count on the shot clock, does not reset unless shot clock resets, no mercy rule. The coaching box is 38', and the coach is not required to sit after a technical foul." After we go through the current rules (we only mention the rules that we are using for the present game: a chart of rules differences for all high school leagues is posted on the MBOA website, and Board 12 has a similar page with the rules differences for its leagues on its website. The expectation is that we review the websites or print out the charts. I memorize the differences, or write them into the notes sections of my mechanics manuals ), we continue with the rest of our pregame conference.
