Coaching Crisis (REBROADCAST)

By Laura Knoy on Monday, May 31, 2004.

High school sports can be the most exciting game around. Big rivalries, promising young athletes, and enthusiastic fans often comes only with high school athletics. But in recent years, high school coaches are finding their job a little less fun. Low pay, difficult parents, and disciplining players are just some of the reasons. We'll talk about this "coaching crisis" with Union Leader reporter Jim Fennell and Concord High School Athletic Director Bill Whitmore. We'll also hear from Tim Flannery with the National Federation of State High School Associations.

*This show is a rebroadcast, so we will not be taking any new calls during the program.*
