The latest blog from a retired high school football coach that has transitioned into blog writing. This blog is special for me because we discuss the fine line of effective time management for multi-sport coaches when trying to raise a young family. The idea came from a former player who now coaches back in the high school he graduated from. We must protect these young coaches in the greatest fraternity left standing in America. Thank you Gridirondigest.net for allowing me to post on this forum !!!!! https://www.ronglodich.com/author-blog/it-was-time

One way schools often get around the "undue influence" rule is having the *parents* of current players contact the families of prospective student athletes they want to bring in. The coaching staff didn't do the recruiting, it was just casual conversation among "parents." Same thing with players - if Bishop Sycamore's star tight end Jimmy Snatches talks to his buddy, who's currently a backup quarterback at Central City High and says "hey, we need a QB next year. Why don't you check us out?," that's not undue influence. But if Bishop Sycamore's *coach* does so, that's a different story. Getting your coaches embedded with travel programs or "skills academies" seems to be another way of recruiting without actually recruiting.
