I had a very bad experience with a "licenced coach" on an "academy" team at SSC that left a bad taste in my mouth.
What about these licensed coaches? "What license does Steve Spurrier or Tommy Bowden have for football?" I realize that these are different sports with different credentials, but still it begs the question.
I find it hard to believe that an "A" or "B" licensed coach knows more simply on an awarded basis than some coaches that have done this professionally for more than a decade or two, Some of these "awardees" are nothing more than former college players that have 'played at a high level' and are then grandfathered in as "coaches", though they don't know the first thing about management, teaching, scheduling, etc.
