Coaches should be allowed to earn extra money in the summer but not in the same town where they are the high school coach.
That doesnt solve the conflict as stated above. Even if they are coaching for a club there is still conflict if people feel pressured to play for them.
What is the difference between a school coach who runs a travel program and a math teacher who tutors on the side? A math teacher is allowed to tutor students for money as long as they are not that teachers student. The same rule should be applied to coaches. The coaches should be allowed to run/coach a travel team/program as long as the players are not on that coaches school team. Look at the travel programs on Long Island that are run by coaches - the conflicts are obvious and undeniable - and, this is secondary because if the coach wants to out time and effort into running a travel program they should, the money is enormous.
