Indeed, public school coaches getting involved in the summer/year-round club business presents numerous issues, not the least of which is potential unfairness to the kids (i.e., preferential treatment for club players when playing for the school team, etc.).
But ALL those potential issues may already exist for coaches at the Catholic HS programs mentioned above.
I wonder if the administration at Chaminade and St. Anthony's have any idea the club connections are so strong?
Of course they do...they benefit from it!!! Kids leave public/town programs and select the private option and it all works for many on both sides of the team. Schools obtain students and clubs get players. It really needs to be an individual choice for what is best for each family. Too many conflicts on both sides regardless of private or public.There are issues on the public side with teachers/coaches making it mandatory to play for them only.
No easy answer.
