Is a coach obligated?

Technically if the mail is sent to the attention of player nobody can throw it away----it is the players mail not the coaches---but things do get "lost"


To answer your question he is obligated and it is part of his job to pass it along to the player

Question for you: how do you know that he "routinely throws them away" ?

Players while talking with the coach in his office will see them on his desk. They never make to the player.

I am realistic in that a coach has the right to do pretty much what he wants. And there's no shortage of coresponedence via email or snail mail. And probably at times this can be overwhelming.

I quess my main concern, does this reflect negatively on the player. If they do not respond for whatever reason?
