Meeting with coaches in locker room?

[BktBallRef]

We also get to the game site by 6:00 pm for our 7:30 kickoff. I read and heard of others who only send the R and the U to the meeting with the coaches. Why? Most of our coaches want to me the wing official because they want to know who will be on their side of the field. Also, we all get the captains names and numbers and hear about any trick plays at the same time. They don't have to be relayed to the other 3 of us later. As for checking the field, there's plenty of time to do that. There's plenty of time to meet with the chain crew, ball boys, and timer. That 30 minutes from 7:00 to 7:30 is enough time to do all of those things. I just really don't see any reason why everyone can't attend the meetings and still complete their required tasks. To each his own I guess.
