Question/Comment
I think that a number of you coaches raise some good, great, interesting points. Like many on this forum and around the country I'm a person returning to this hobby after being away many years. My question is this, do those of you in leagues have a kickoff meeting before the season to go over rules, behavior and expectations for the league/season? Do you guys have an exhibition season (it could be a one game scrimmage) to make sure new coaches understand league play...or new/veteran coaches understand adoption of new rules? Are rule books handed out and assumptions made that everyone will interpret them the same way? I totally agree that in competition one should be a class act, not a jerk but making sure to set expectations, and letting people know at the onset the way things are may help keep the competition as "classy" as possible.
Just my 2 cents worth.
