Take all the players out of it. The problem is very real and is really indefensible.
Human nature says if I pay someone lots of cash year round over many many years for club lax and privates that there would be a conflict if that person was also my high school coach. No family should feel pressure to pay and play for certain summer clubs. That is absolute bullcrap. School coaches should not be coaching any of their school players with outside organiszations
Get ready to lose any quality coaching at the school level then . . .
Give me a break with the quality coaching...how good was the quality coaching last year? uh, not so good. The Manhasset school district would receive a number of qualified applicants and the program would continue. It is a real problem as was mentioned in an earlier post. Either coach the HS team or coach the club team - not both. pathetic.
EVERY club business model is predicated on having as many HS coaches as possible in an effort to subtly or not so subtly coerce kids into playing for a particular club - YJ, Liberty, TG, etc ALL do it fully knowing what they're doing and also knowing that to a great degree it works very well for them
I don't care about the CLUB, that's the problem with lacrosse in general and US lacrosse, everything revolves around the clubs! CR is more powerful than most college D1 coaches. This is a school district issue. My job says I cant have another job that might be viewed as a conflict of interest. Same should go for coaching HS. Coaching a club team for cash should eliminate you from coaching in HS if you have any players that play for the club you coach in
