Issued my first Forfeit yesterday

Once again I say that just because they coach/attend a Christian school doesn't make them a Chrsitian. Going to church doesn't make you a Chrsitian any more then going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger. The Bible says you can tell a TRUE Christian by their deeds!

I would have to agree with you 1000 % on that.

But if your going to choose a coach for a Christian HS, I think you should choose a Christian coach. Every one of them. They not only coach the team, they represent the school, and everything it stands for. Knowing the sport is not enough. They need to have the same beliefs the school was founded on, and believes in.

Just my humble opinion (HMO).

not necessarily...one of the local private Christian schools hired the son of the pastor to be the head coach. Because of the actions of this coach, I have voluntarily scratched myself from working any of their football games. The guy is a fraud and a knucklehead.

I believe that HS sports are an extension of the classroom...HS sports at a Christian school are an extension of the classroom and the Bible. If the coach can't conduct himself appropriately and the administrators refuse to correct the situation, I refuse to work their games.
