Coaches,
If you're like me, you find other teachers coming to you often when one "your" players is a behavior problem in their class. For the most part, I appreciate the heads up/status report, and I will take the player aside if I think it's needed. But, I find myself somewhat annoyed by the constant idea that just because I'm their coach, that it is also my responsibility to make sure they do what they're supposed to in class all the time as well. I honestly feel like there are some staff members who are either dissapointed that I don't teach them better during the season, or that I don't jump right in and rip em a new one (so to speak).
Just how far do we have to go as coaches to make sure each and every player is doing what they should be doing in each of their classes, especially during the off season. I mean, non of us like their players stepping out of line and we all try as best we can to stay on top of all potential problems, but do we have to be the disciplinarian in other teacher's classes as well? Perhaps, I'm way off base on this one and I'm just venting a little, but could you imagine a coach coming up to another teacher in the hallway on Monday and saying "Your art student is not hustling in practice!".
