Oppressed,
Your earlier comment about direct relationships between varisty and JV teams can heavily depend on what the school deems is necessary in hiring a good coach for both JV and varsity. I know of a school that had a decent varisty coach and then added a good JV coach. The next year, that varisty coach left and was replaced by someone who never coached competitive soccer and never played it before. This season, there are obvious gaps. It all depends on the school's position on filling the coaching position. Do you just put someone in there because the AD knows them and they want the job or do you put someone in there that knows what they are doing?
