Stardust you are not exactly right about this. My grandfather was on the KHSAA board for several years and Mr. Tackett only brings up what he wants to bring up. Yes the coaches bring forth motions and issues, but they can in fact stop at the door if Mr. Tackett wishes them to. Most of the officials in the KHSAA have not coached a single game and in many cases have not coach for several years. Why not bring in new YOUNG BLOOD that is up to date with kids today, and is in tune with how coaches feel about issues that are relevant. Recruiting, eligibility, examining current officials, FAIR alignment, and A.D. supervision should be the main attention of the KHSAA. Sportsmanship should also be a huge priority as well, but to tell a sanctioning body they don't have to show respect is terrible, and if issues like players and coaches acting like fools occur, show them the door, we don't want them coaching our kids, and we don't want disrespectful coaches coaching either.

I sincerely appreciate your comment, but I do know for a fact (i.e. direct access to AD who is on committee ). I do know that all decisions that come from KHSAA are NOT KHSAA decisions. Again, we all could be better educated by scheduling time to sit down with our AD's, Principals, and District Supervisors - all of who are get a chance a one time or another to participate in committee!

Back to your point, you are 100% accurate, lets put more accountability on our coaches and athletes to do the right thing, regardless of what actions our schools want to take to avoid litigation! I'm a coach, I have no problem at all having that responsibility put on me!
