[Fly Like a Duck]

I wouldn't completely disagree, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's hard to find help. There are plenty out there capable to choose from. The hard part is finding them jobs and moving their families halfway across the state. It's easy to convince an assistant to go, but it's harder to convince his family. How many instances do head coaches need 4 or 5 spots in the building to bring assistants with them, but turn down the job because the administration will only let them bring 1 or 2? I would say that happens very often.

You just elaborated on some of the reasons why it's hard to find help. What you said plus the time and lack of overall money are the reasons it's hard to find help. I totally agree. A lot of what you said is what I was telling people last year on here when they were going through the job search.....location(s), picking up families to move with very little incentive financially. Those who have moved around (once married and kids anyway) in this profession are slim, and it's not getting any better.

As far as the scenario you stated....I can't disagree.

In short, for whatever the various reasons preventing it....it's getting harder and harder to find help (good, hardworking, WE before ME...help).
