Gee, I don't want to get involved in all of the other issues....they're way too deep for me.....but from an officiating standpoint, I think that you're making a heckuva mistake if you include coaches as part of your learning process. Their agendas are completely different than ours. The only "right" call that they really care about is a call that will benefit their team. Their knowledge of the rules, mechanics, etc. is generally not good enough to be of any value either.

No good is going to come out of pre-game conversations with coaches, Rev.
