It matters when other states allow their coaches to have year round contact with their wrestlers. While Sport0 may be entirely right I believe most coaches are fine with the current rules because it makes it easier for them. If the option were given to all coaches, only a few would take advantage of donating their time which would create a wider gap between the haves and have nots. Other states don't have dead weeks (we have two), don't restrict their wrestlers from attending clinics and open events during the season, don't restrict travel, etc. Doug is right, who the heck came up with the idea that KSHSAA knows what is better for our kids than we do? Sport0, public schools are tax dependent, KSHSAA is dependent on the schools therefore tax dependent and at the end of the day a governmental agency.
