I don't think this is right. I can see changing the rule for next year or better yet doing away with the whole pass thing. Just give all coaches a pass that wants one. We sacrifice all of our time all season long to be turned away at state. Our state leadership always wants people to volunteer their time for this and that and then turn into nazis whaen its time to hand out coaching passes. I have went to this meeting for the past 8-9 years and yes I left at 1pm as I had prior commitments on sunday evening and had a 31/2 hour drive home. Why not put all of the reports either on line or in the packets, As much as some of these people like listening to themselves talk, it would really speed things up if they didn't and most wouldn't mind not listening. Do all of the state business at the start of the meeting and send everyone home. It could be a two hour meeting, and I bet almost every club would be their to vote if this happened. This is a bad idea it's going to cause all kinds of problems come state time.
