Coaches taking rules test

[gsf23]

Just a quick question. I'm coaching in North Dakota, Class B Boy's Varsity.

One of the things I had to do this year was take the same rules test that the officials have to take. I don't know how the officials take their test, but the coaches were allowed to take the test at any time and use any resources available. I was giving a time that I had to have the test mailed back the the Activities Association or my school would receive a fine. I think that they do this for all of the head coaches in all the sports in ND.

I coached in Colorado for a couple of years and never had to take any rules tests so I was just wondering if this was a ND thing or if other states also require their head coaches to take rules tests and if you officials here like the idea?

BTW I scored a 93

Thanks
