No wonder the LHSAA has been getting away with underpaying for so many years.

I've seen this in other states. Associations poach schools from other associations. Miserable practice. I much prefer working as a true independent contractor and working whatever schools I want to work.

How is it poaching? We don't call them, they call us. Are we supposed to turn them down? I prefer the independent contractor route as well, but there are no varsity assignments here that way. I called only varsity and jv around here for that reason. Finally almost all of that was turned over to associations, too.
It was register or quit at that point.
