1) Who else is going to help my kids if I can't? ($3.24 a gallon, how many of my kids can drive to Akin twice a week or go to rooms in KC, I don't have a stable of past studs who live in the community and will work with my kids)
2) Kids are not like they used to be, you tell a kid today he has to do something he doesn't want to do and his response is screw you. (parents and kids won't put up with coaches abusing/overdoing practice time)
3) KSHSAA is to restrictive. Why can't a basketball coach set up a league and run it so the kids who want to play basketball in the summer can stay in the community and play?? Why can't a football coach coach his own 7 on 7 team?? If I have kids that want to spend $65 and enter a national tournament and I am willing to take a personal day and drive them and coach them for 5 matches, why the hell not?
4) I could go on and on. Some of you speak about making good citizens. I know a ton of coaches who are great for their wrestlers. Those kids often times learn more about themselves and how to be a great person at a tournament or practice then they do anywhere else. Why drastically limit the amount of time they can spend with their coaches? If a coach is abusing the kids somehow, then fire him!! Don't punish those who would do the right thing because you are afraid that some would do the wrong thing.
