The primary objective of a school system is education. Sports are extra-curricular activities. If you look at any successful HS sports program, you will find a dedicated and professional educational teacher first and foremost for the most part. This is the reason they are successful with their team. It has nothing to do with money in HS athletics. If money gets you a better coach where do you draw the line. Will you as a taxpayer go for a school tax to pay Calipari 90 million dollars? Will we as fans pay 50 dollars to attend a HS football game? The standard pay is around 3000 for extra curricular activities. Just about all the successful coaches use this money on their team in some fashion. If you told every varsity coach in KY that they would recieve no money for coaching I would be willing to bet that less than 5% would quit. At this level you are not coaching for money and I hope it never,ever gets to that point.

Some of that is true but Lawrence County lost a great coach and it possibly could have been that he got a big raise to go to boyd just saying.
