I think it's stupid, but SC is not the only state that gives schools this type of control over who doesn't get to work their games. Heck, I think in Texas both coaches have to approve the crews assigned to each game (or something like that).

I do not think anyone is saying that other states do not do this, but that does not mean it is the best system either. I just think that gives coaches too much power if you have a say over even a game in another part of the state.
