dmbfan, you say you've been on a college coaching staff. What level and what did you do? At 24, I would be very surprised if you have been an actual assistant coach anywhere above the D3/NAIA level.

I just can't figure out why you wouldn't want to become high school certified and at least work varsity games for a few years before going into college games. Around here if you're just working rec games and aren't high school certified, you're not really taken seriously.
I was a graduate assistant coach for a D-1 Big East school. My duties included scouting of opponents, assisting with instruction (practice and in-game), travelling with the team, film exchange, etc.. I did that for 2 seasons.

Its not that I did not want to be HS certified but when I was in grad school (just graduated in May) my schedule did not allow me to attend meetings and classes because of my graduate schedule and travel schedule with the team.
