Just read this story of the Lawson brothers leaving Memphis because Tubby demoted their father, who had been hired by Josh Pastner as an assistant coach when they were recruited. My question is why is this allowed? I would pose the same question about recruits AAU or high school coaches as well.
Here is a partial answer, Alabama is criminal. They may have u to 97 have coaches on their payroll for football.
Jim Harbaugh recently drew the ire of many in sports media for attempting to hire the coach and father of a major recruit in the current cycle, while it is widely believed the University of Alabama may have up to 97 coaches and staffers.
The new rules would create guidelines similar to those in college basketball, where universities cannot hire high school coaches as a non-coach. Penalties include permanent ineligibility for the player and suspensions of head coaches or assistant coaches. The changes would take place effective immediately, retroactive to Jan. 18.
Other changes passed include:
Coaches now only have 10 days to conduct camps in June, rather than two 10-15 day periods in June and/or July. The camps also have to be conducted on-campus or on associated grounds (such as practice facilities.)
Annual scholarships are now reduced to 25 per year for those offered in the fall. This is meant to try and kill the “greyshirting” practice, where coaches over-sign in a particular class and add those overflow players to the next recruiting class by delaying their signing.
The summer dead period for recruiting has been extended to include the entire month of August and a period from late June to July.
Two-a-day practices have been eliminated due to safety concerns. Instead, the universities will allow an extra week of preseason practices and be given free reign over how to distribute their 29 practices. Schools can use a maximum of three hours practice time per day.
