It's only an hour each year, and yet we have problems getting coaches to attend. Penalty for not attending is not eligible for annual sportsmanship awards. And each team only has to send one coach, even if it's the freshman coach.



My first year coaching, I soon realized that I didn't really understand all the rules, and was getting a lot of technical fouls. So I took the local rookie officiating class only to learn the rules. Took the test, passed the test, and then discovered that I could make some extra money officiating basketball. Coaching lasted for "only" twenty-five years, forty years later and I'm still officiating.

This portion of our conversation only happened because you said coaches need to receive a different presentation than officials. I said I like it that we all receive the same presentation down here in Virginia.

If your schools are not taking the training presentations seriously, why are you so hell-bent on defending that process?
