If the student athlete is good enough to be an impact player, the coach should make an exception.
If coach is not willing to make an exception, then maybe he's not worth playing for.
My son's coach played 4 years of both baseball and football in college.
Lots of multi sport athletes at all levels.
Guess it depends on the coach and the situation. At my son's old HS they hired a new football coach about 6 years ago. In that time they've lost maybe four regular season games. Have like a 55 regular season win streak going and two state titles. He doesn't demand football only but your second sport better not interfere with football. The baseball team lost a few players to football during my son's time there.
Also if your school takes their sports seriously they are practicing/training above and beyond to the point that try to do two or three sports becomes overwhelming.
