To honor Tressel or not at the HS level

[Forksref]

The coaches wanted to thank Tressel for paying attention to them. His predecessor ignored HS coaches. One of the reasons for Tressel's success was his ability to keep Ohio players home and not leave the state and that was due, in large part, to his relationship with high school coaches. Despite his behavior with regard to the OSU players' benefits, he did a lot of good for high school football and the coaches appreciated that.
