Compensation for speaking to team

Great idea, but I have enough problems with "Hey, I'm a ref and [blah blah blah I know the rules better than you blah blah]". Now, you have all the coaches and parents saying "Blah blah blah, I heard a ref speak for a hour so I know all the rules better than you blah blah." A little information is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Plus, you have "But this ref said...". I'm not against coaches knowing the rules, I'm against giving that sort of validation and authority to people who aren't looking to use it properly.

I agree with your concept, everyone should not have a drivers license.

Myself, I wouldn't do this for ALL schools/coaches. I went to schools that I fully understood the coaches motives. Also, I never set any fee, they paid what they were able and that's fine with me.
