I would imagine that you can understand that we like to work with our A.D.'s rather than butt heads. I was just trying to get a feel for whether or not inviting "rotating coaches" to official's meetings is pretty standard stuff or if we were doing something fairly unusual.

OK......who said anything about butting heads? All I said was forget him. You offered the invititation, he did not accept and gave you a reason for not wanting to attend.

A week from today we offer the State Championship coaches to attend our annual banquet. If they attend or not attend, we do not take offense. Some have very good reasons for not being able to show up and when they do we welcome them with open arms. What else can you do?

You cannot hold a gun to his head and demand he attend. And if you have to talk to the AD to get this coach to attend, it is not worth the trouble. All you have to do is accept his reason for not coming and move on. Being the Prez or not the Prez is not going to change that.
