watching interviews conducted with the champions during the NC state finals this year, there is a coach you can see in the background wearing a t-shirt and mesh shorts. Crack is showing. This is while coaching during the FINALS.

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.

I agree with Champ. I am just amazed at some of the "stuff" coaches wear to competions. Just makes you ask..."what the hell?"

BTW nice photo of a great example.

Here where I am at in Ohio you see most of the top notch programs in kacki's and Polo shirt with the schools logo.

I do agree that a lot of coaches need to class it up a little.

I know personally that if Champ kind can do it............Anyone can "class it up a little" He makes an exceptional point add class to brutality and it will drastically improve the perception of our sport. Even Tom Brands dresses appropriately so I don't think it's a stretch for a High School coach to be expected to do so.
How many teachers go to work in T-shirts? Admin I do not believe would approve.

I bet you can count on one hand the number of times you have seen me with a collared shirt and nice pants!

Exaclty! SIT in a nice comfortable chair, in an air conditioned room, in a calm enviroment.

Unless you are being paid like a college coach the High School should just be happy the coaches care, and are willing to put in the time they already do.

Champ Kind

There are numerous coaches who coach in khakis and a polo. I have never heard them say they aren't comfortable.

Its about making our sport look good by doing something so simple like looking professional! You don't think the administrators see this? When the coaches treat the sport as a second class sport. the administrators will also. The perception of wrestling in general is that its a bunch of hillbillies wrasslin' and the coaches aren't helping things when they go in jeans and t-shirts and hats. Half the time people can't decipher if someone is a coach or just a fan that is getting close to the action!

I always wore a tie and a blazer -I felt ridiculous but I figured I could stand it for a couple of hours . Now summer tournaments and such were a different story -but I wasn't being paid either .

That's not the coach from Bellmont is it ?
