Crack is showing. This is while coaching during the FINALS.

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

Tournaments Joined: 1 Tournament Wins: 0 | Re: High School Wrestling Coaches Need a "Dress Code" 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.

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. | | |

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!
