Randy,
To answer your last question, Yes! I have seen in the past and even the start of this year, a couple of parents gain coaches cards through the club that should not be coaching and only were getting the coaches card so they could "legally" be on their son's mat when he wrestled. How should the club address this type of situation? Deny the application? This causes discontent and more problems than what it is worth. Apply rules to the club's bylaws requiring a certification in order for the club to sponsor the prospective coach? This starts to limit the coaching staff of a club and could be detrimental to the kids program. There really is no good answer to these questions and I agree that this needs to be addressed in some manner.
