In Ohio, the HS coaches are limited in the off season to 10 days of coaching, and that includes any games!!!! The vaccuum has been filled by the AAU and too many of the AAU coaches are limited in ability and many have hidden agendas. They sell the parents on the possibility of sschollies if little Mary plays in their program and most of these girls have no shot at a one. I know. My daughter was a 2 time all state player and only got an NAIA schollie. I see some of these kids and listen to their parents and just laugh inside. Most have a sliver of my daughter's talent and every time I call a foul the parents act like I am jeopardizing their darling daughter's (or son's) future. The parents spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on travel basketball and in most cases its a waste of money.
I am using the article as a chance to write a letter to the District governor of the OHSAA about their antiquated rules. I had a 10 mintute conversation this week with the AD at my younger daughter's school and he agreed with everything I said. Its funny that then this came up.
