[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I am naïve, but it seems this kind of makes sense. High school baseball coaches can’t make very much money. Isn’t this a way for the school to have a good baseball coach around, and receive additional compensation by operating these outside programs?[/quote] This is not that situation. The baseball coach at SJC is also the Director of Development. A quick search on line shows that a job like that in DC probably pays six figures. That's a lot better than your typical teacher/coach makes. I've also heard he does a lot more coaching than fundraising and the Director position is really just an excuse to pay him more money. So to answer your question, the figurehead job is the way they keep the coach around. And to qualify your statement, "good baseball coach" isn't entirely accurate. SJC wins more than anyone else because they have more talented players and more resources. It ain't the coaching. I can't explain why SJC keeps him around.[/quote]
