Well then what is it about if he has to "play nice." If you do not need this individual's opinion then why are you worried about what he thinks? This is why I asked Mark the question, not you.

We mainly "play nice" with the HS guys because they do coach's clinics for us and they pass out registration information to the HS students each year, etc. Of course, we respond by making a contribution to the HS athletic fund if we have a relatively large cash surplus at the end of the season, which happens sometimes.

It sounds to me like you might want to prepare a set of questions and "what if" scenarios. [One of the associations I work for used to schedule MS games for area schools, but the school budget tightening eliminated MS teams, so now they have to play rec league if they want to play. Sounds like that is what may have happened where you are.] I ran a junior hoop program for a couple of years. One of the things we did was have the kids all play in a round robin on the local HS floor. The kids [grades 4-6] all thought it was neat to play on the big floor and the HS didn't charge us anything. Maybe you could make arrangements like that with the AD as a possible quid pro quo if you do end up making a switch.
