As far as Coach's playing, I know that the entire paid staff at LCC played high school AND college ball. Whitaker and Hollan (Hazard) played.Hatcher and Fugate, Hoskins(PCC) all played,Creech(Wolf ) played, Hall (Powell)played, Johnson (Jenkins)played, Cook(JBS) played. tose come to mind without much thought. Your top selections as ref's all played also.

That is about what I thought. That should definitely be a rule to coach and ref. If you haven't played the game, you sure shouldn't be able to coach or ref it. Letcher, Perry, Hazard, Wolfe, Estill all have coaches that have played the game and it shows in their coaching and players playing, just like our top officials, You can tell when people know about the game and what to call because they have played it before.
