I place a high value on youth sports, but for a variety of non-softball-related reasons I won't go into, teacher-coaches are many times brought in to replace professional coaches as a cost-saving measure.Plus legislation in states is changing, to get qualified softball coaches in and so that non-teacher coaches who have coached for years won't be supplanted by teachers.
Saying that high school players must be coached by the most qualified individuals available at any price would be a tough sell in any state legislature.
