Need Honest Opinions

[JRutledge]

I do not think I could ever coach. Too many factors are apart of your success. As an official I have control over my success on my own (at least how I perform). I have nothing but respect for people that can coach successfully for a long time. I personally would not have the same passion for coaching as I do officiating. Ultimately, this is a person decision.

I volunteer "coach" (its more of just working with them) with the adult special olympics folks. I have a blast doing that and I would never try and make it my livelihood for a number of reasons. For one, I'd have to take a SEVERE pay cut. For another, I'd be in the educational system which is often poorly managed (by administrators) and usually frowns on creativity and doing the right thing. For another, I've simply never been interested in coaching though I've been around many sports my entire life.
