Introduction of New Members Tom Scarpato, Rob OBrien and Frank Monaco
NIHOA Membership Evaluations discussed group evaluations given out at Year-end meeting. Need to improve on our communications (more meetings) and Rule Knowledge (Open book test to be returned to Mike Campbell). All future probationary members to get prior year test and send it in to the VP. In addition, we need to build a line of communications with the teams. This should be through each teams captain. Lets make them one of our allies. During our captains chat before the game, please re-enforce this.
Treasurers Report Cash in the bank. We will bill all the schools, as we did last year, at the beginning of the season. The checks will be paid on Dec & Mar 15th.
ECHA Meeting League adopted a progressive Game Misconduct rule for coaches, (first offense nothing, second offense 1 game, third game two games and a review, etc..). One concern of ECHA is the abuse or potential abuse of the Game Misconduct Rule. This is not a loaded gun pointed at someone, we need to be very aware of that fact. Chuck and Ed emphasized that rule knowledge is very important along with game management. League using 2 ref 1 linesman system. All Navy assignments will have additional security (armed Marines possible). They are operating at a high state readiness and should be taken very serious.
2001-2002 Assignment Procedures Paul, will email schedules, everyone will have one week from distribution to give any game back to him for re-assignment. After that, they are your responsibility.
