Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many bench coaches a varsity team may have? Seems like some teams have more coaches than subs on the bench. Would this be a title nine issue? (except for Cov Cath and Notre dame) If the boys varsity team has 6 does that require the girls varsity to have the same? or would the boys be limited to the same number as the girls? Just curious....

No rule.

 

Re: Title IX I'd say only if the school paid for more coaches for boys than girls.

A lot of the assistants are volunteer (unpaid) assistance, so that shouldn't have any Title IX effect.

Head coach issue

Not sure of the rule but I do know that one of the most obnoxious assistants sits on the Lexington Lafayette bench. I have seen the refs even warn him about his yelling and behavior.

Doesn't most schools that have a large bench of coaches bring up their lower level (Frosh/JV) coaches?

Like said above a lot are volunteers or split the stipends
