What's wrong with wearing school gear? I see some coaches who are in school gear almost 7 days a week. Some of these coaches do have kids who are in little league and middle school.

The difference is it is not his kid he is going up and talking to as a representative of his school. I know some will say coincidence, Bottom line if you talk to a kid that is not zoned to you it is illegal. They have to come to you AND not after you have made contact first.Semantics.

 

It is funny to watch after awhile.

Here lies the problem, your's and everyone's  thinking. First, you do not see the obvious. Second, has nothing to do with pride. Third, in most cases there is no relative or friend playing. This is called very subtle illegal advertised recruiting. After the game ,you see these proud gear wearing coaches who just happen to be at the game going up to parents of good young players and asking them to look into their school. I have seen this many times. 

I understand the issue, but the issue is making first contact. If the coach goes to watch the game, regardless of what he wears, and then the kid contacts him... no foul. If he approaches the kid and talks to him about coming to his school, that's a different story. At least that's my understanding of how the rules are.

should not be there anyway unless a relative is playing. you are splitting hairs. But I have first hand seen coaches ,more than one and more than once approach the parent of the child. Even ask others who is so and so's Mother or dad.  You are smart enough to know what that is. Call it what you want ,it is wrong .

Nothing illegal about being there and wearing your school apparel. Contacting kids and parents is another thing. 

What if said coach is at a game for a school that is a feeder and players/parents from the opponent's team approaches the coach?

In his eyes any metro school that has or having success is recruiting.

There is nothing illegal with a parent approaching a coach from another school anywhere,whether it be at a game, church,store, or at the school. First contact has always been the main concern, it just has to be the parent and NOT a representative of the school.

That is not true. I know for a fact PC is not even close with Hillsboro now, because of MF, and Cane Ridge. PC is a distant third now. I have been dancing around this comment about illegal recruiting . It is only black coaches recruiting black kids. The white coaches in Metro can not compete with a black coach when it comes to recruiting black kids. It would be interesting to me if any white kid has been recruited bu any school in Metro.

That's a very irrational and unethical comment by "black kids" "white kids" 

if you have talent ,you have talent.

Well no more dancing for 247. Pretty much just said what he feels right there. It will probably never be known but it would be interesting to know who is doing it in metro and why. The three schools mentioned already get plenty of athletes from their zones. Why not coach whomever walks in the doors. If a coach is going to recruit then recruit the kids in the hallway. Get the kids that are already there and help them be a part of the school. Just my opinion.

Seem to recall parents being up in arms when students were rezoned to their poor academically challenged neighborhood school but parents of football players from all over the city want their kids at that same school....
