This is a non issue. When I refer to this principal/coach as a friend, I mean that he is someone that I have known for a long time and get along with well. This is true of someone or other at all the local schools and some that are not so local. I would be friends with the people at the problem school if given half a chance. On a related note, this is how things sometimes work out around here. The first varsity game I ever called, (a morning-of-the-game phone call to fill in for somebody else emergency type thing) the coaches on one bench were: 1. A guy I went to high school with who farms right next door to me now.
2. My old high school coach.
Mother of all conflict of interest stories? No big deal.
I call 'em like I see 'em and as long as both sides complain some, (they did) I feel like everything is all right, or as all right as it can be in this business.
