Woman Coaching Boys V

Saw this in the Indy Star today.....Around Indy, it's all men coaching V....Heck, I don't even know where this city is at in Indiana...

Obviously you have men coaching girls V and you have men coaching NCAA-W...thought it was interesting.

Any of you V-Boys officials have any women coaches?

We had a lady coaching boys in Utah for a while at a very small (1A) school in the southern part of the state. I never worked for her, but I heard she did a very good job.

Yes. Not as unusual as many would think.

A few years ago there was a woman coaching a boys 4A team in Alaska, and they won the state championship I believe.

I think just because a few can come up with one current or past example in all their years of experience it doesn't make it less unusual. I would say percentage wise it is certainly not common.

In all the leagues I have ever reffed (or coached) I can only remember seeing one female doing a boys 13/15 age group....let alone at the BV level. I still believe it is unusual.

Probably varies by region, but I agree it's unusual. Not wrong or immoral, just unusual.

I've never seen it any level beyond YMCA.

That said, BktBallRef is probably right. I'm sure there are "many" who think there are only one or two of these situations in the country.

I used to know an small college whose men's squad had a female coach.

We have a female boy's varsity coach in my area. She was the girls coach up until last year, and applied when the boys job was open to do both (since htis was before our big season switch), she was denied, sued, and won the chance to do both, or keep one and get settlement money. She chose both and passed on the money. But for 2 years now, she's done just the boys.

Some of the woman coaches I've seen are more manly than my partner! ('ll print this out for him and give it to him at our next game since he doesn't log on here).

The Constitution State

We had a female coaching a public high school boys varsity basketbasll team about 15 years ago in the northwestern part of Connecticut. I believe it was at Litchfield High School.

In the Catholic middle school league, that I officiate in on my free nights and weekends, we have several females coaching boys teams from fourth grade through eighth grade.

A side note, also in the Catholic Middle School league, we have a boy playing, he's a starter, with a prosthetic leg. It takes him a little bit longer to accelerate, and decelerate, than the other players, but otherwise, you wouldn't know he was playing on onewnatural leg.
