I won't bother with your last statement there....but

I'm curious. What appropriate precautions might those be---

Should the coaches who are at risk shelter in place..? Maintain 6 feet of separation between themselves and the team...? Wear a mask...? Stay out of the locker room....? Skip the away games...? Wear a mask ...? Wipe the football with disinfectants after each touch or perhaps wear protective gloves...? Wear a mask...?

Depends on the coach & the specifics of his/her compromised health. But healthy players & coaches have no more to be concerned about than the various flu strains.

Should they be concerned about going home?

This is what is so confusing about people who use this argument.

To be clear...I am not saying they shouldn't practice. All I am saying is this line of thinking is flawed.

If they are healthy, well, why not go home? BTW what exactly is flawed?

If you live with 50+ year old parents. If the kid gets infected he likely infects the household who are in a more at risk population.
