I went to a "meet the team's," night about ten years ago, at our local High school. My daughter was on the dance team.

Preseason introduction to the coaches and players representing all the sports teams, drill teams, dance teams, band. Anything competitive. The football program alone had 104 coaches and 500 players involved.

The school itself had well over 4500 students attending at that time. There were well over 10,000 parents in the bleachers for a non game event.

Since the football program has been very successful, Six state championships since 1989, nobody messes with the coaches decisions.

Further to the above. In good conscience, the coaches perform other functions also, phys ed, actual teaching, asst. principals, things of that nature.

Further to nobody messes with the coaches decisions, only as long as he wins. Mostly they do.

That's patently absurd ... a high school football program with 104 coaches ... pity the taxpayer in that school district they must be idiots.
