Cardsrule1972 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Can High School Varsity coaches attend camps during the dead period? I was at Rick Bolus Camp today and saw a head varsity coach standing on the sidelines watching the 5 on 5 games. The date is 6/28. The way I understand the rules he should not have been there. I'm not going to throw this guy under the bus, but if it's illegal he sure wasn't too worried about getting caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraStarship Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 We're players from His school playing? If so yes he can't be there Only way he could be there if players from his school were playing would be if his son was playing otherwise it would be violation If no players from His team there then yes he could be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVMan23 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Then how do these high school coaches coach at the camps then? I have 2 kids I coach at the Bolus camp right now and they both have a coach from near the Louisville area coaching them. Last year had a kid that had a coach from the Lex area coaching them. Now I GUESS it's possible none of those guys had/have players at the camp...I mean that would have to be the situation, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky playmaker Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 How helpful is dead period if most all the kids are at camp. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckerpark Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Not doubting that some coaches try and find access during the dead period, but most high school coaches are on vacation this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsrule1972 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 What if a kid is in a middle school that feeds the high school coaches school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKUisgr8 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'd be surprised if that made a difference as that would be quite difficult to monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou21 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 What if a kid is in a middle school that feeds the high school coaches school? Since middle school is now part of the KHSAA, would this make it illegal as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKUisgr8 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 No, just checked and the rule specifically states a student enrolled at the school the coach is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True blue (and gold) Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 How helpful is dead period if most all the kids are at camp. lol It puts the decision in the hands of the parent. It says' "Look, here are two weeks where you can choose what to do without being penalized by a coach. Vacation, have family dinners, rest and relax...or attend clinics that you CHOOSE to. Coach can't tell you what to do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my oldest went to the Bolus camp he was coached by the coach who was at Danville at the time. I don't know if here were any Danville kids at the camp but I know the Danville head coach had access to the starting PG at Boyle County during the dead period.

UK Fanatic Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 From Bylaw 24: (1) No coach may coach a student-athlete in any setting if that student-athlete has previously represented the high school (varsity, junior varsity or freshmen) and if sports specific skills are being taught, refined, developed or evaluated; (2) No coach in a sport at a school may coach other individuals who are enrolled in grades 9-12 but may not have yet played for the school 9) There can be no observation of student-athletes who are enrolled at the coach’s high school, even if such observation is in conjunction with outside employment such as camps, leagues or clinics. The only exception is detailed in the allowable activities concerning the observation (including transportation) of the coach’s children (blood or by marriage) who are on the playing roster and actively participating on the regular high school team at a member school; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
