Everyone is bashing on the KSHSAA rules. "Let the coaches coach during the off season." Okay, you might have a point but if KSHSAA is really going to go with this then football team will get spring ball. In a lot of states the football teams play 7 on 7 and then spring-ball in the "off-season." Some states have actual practice and games (scrimmages) against other schools during this time.

If Kansas coaches can coach during March, April and May that would be great but here is my problem with that: It creates an unfair advantage between small schools and private/large schools.

Here is why: a small school shares athletes with football, baseball, etc...Now the small school wrestling team loses those kids during that time. Where as large schools(and certain private schools) have more students that are not multi-sport kids. All of these one sport kids now get more mat time.

I know your thinking, "what does it matter? That is why we have classifications." But my real beef with this is the private schools where kids move in to wrestle. Now these kids are getting more mat while other kids in their classification are having to participate in other sports. I think if KSHSAA does this then lets put all private schools in one class.

You guys want KSHSAA to be like every other state but most states have their own class for private schools. That way "Blair Academy" can't compete in "public 3A" and win state every singal year.

I just want a little equality with my competition that's all.
