RE: USA Academy set to hire Rush Propst as head coach
(12-31-2019 01:10 PM)BAMANBLAZERFAN Wrote: Propst's situation at Hoover HS was typical of head coaches at major high school programs. They make 2 or three academic teacher's pay (generally 6 figures), meet no regular scheduled classes (only coach their sport), can kick any recalcitrant uncooperative player off the team (which academic teachers can't do) and get "glad handed" by fans at meetings. They also get a pay supplement because they stay late and work more days (which the better academic teachers often do for no additional compensation). When Jeff Powell and I coached the WEHS Academic teams, we had to split one assistant sports coach supplement between us.
When people start paying $8 admission, $5 parking, $10 program, $15 concessions, & $250 for a 1/4 page advertisement, to watch Mrs Jones teach Geometry, then things will be different.
