"All the time" does not equal right.
Never said the coaches weren't part of the problem. In some cases, they most certainly are part of the problem.
I can only strongly influence my side of that equation (i.e. my sons...the players). I will continue to do my best to (strongly) influence them to do what my wife and I firmly believe to be right.

Don't count me in that group. That question came up quite often during the recruitment of our older son. We always gave honest answers...and we/he stuck to our word in that scenario too, which included money left on the table. No regrets.
If the thought process on that question had been different, we would've communicated that quite clearly to the schools being put at risk.
