Why shouldnt they?

Or why dont they conduct their own rules clinics?

At most rules clinics I attend.. mind you RULES CLINICS (open to all, like all clinic), you can count the number of coaches on 1 hand with fingers left over.

The vast majority are already overburdened just having to read the coaches edition.

Another coach who has either
1. not attended the prescribed ACE classes; or,
2. didn't pay attention at the ACE classes, but paid the $20 and has a certificate saying he attended.

I can assure you that if you attended the ACE classes you were supposed to attend and paid attention in the least, you wouldn't make a statement like that.

Again, I tell ya you can get the same copy of the rule book if you ask nicely. Your JO commissioner probably offered copies right before you dozed off. If you ask the way you have asked on this board, it should cost you at least 10 times the $9.95 asking price.
