crazy stuff isn't it. When i was coaching, sad to say, at times i was the only involved adult in some of the kids lives. I coached football and track as well, not because of my love for those sports, but to maintain contact with the kids i coached on the mat throughout the seasons.

My coaches and i tutored homework sessions before and after practice in and out of season--made sure some of the kids were even fed at times.
Bailed a few out of jail... Hell, i probably broke every rule there was inadvertently about out of season contact.
I know for a fact many of those boys and girls would not even have gone to school if not for the involvement....

It has been years since i had a dog in this fight but it stil infuriates me, especially with the apathetic nature of today...
