Will great post, as a former HS coach, I can tell you while most coaches fulfill their responsibility, some don't. I always felt it was my responsibility as a coach to do a variety of things; one was to get the most out of my student in the classroom and their respective sport within the rules. The other, was to do everything possible to help them accomplish their dreams, including participation at the next level if that was their desire. For those that don't say rankings are important to that goal, they are wrong.
A coach has as much of a responsibility to the athlete as they do the team. I firmly believe, when a kid sees a coach standing up for them, they will see that kid start standing up for the coach, and ultimately the school and team.
Anyone critical of wrestling67 or any other ranker this year, just don’t know what all of these individuals are doing. I for one say thanks and keep up the great work.
