Suggestions?
Topics that you like to address.
Lessons learned?

I like to copy from the ones that I hear. I steal with pride.

In KS we only do one meeting by request of KSHSAA. We are required to ask.

Coaches, are the players properly equipped?
Players are you prepared to demonstrate good sportsmanship?

After that, the longer the worse. Be short and to the point.

Mine is

Players and coaches if you have a question ask it politely and professionally and we will answer is when we have time.
Players, put the ball in the basket, it makes for a better game.
Listen to us and we will talk you out of a few things.
Have fun!
