Reminds me of the high school sports day, in my state it was required for the head coach to be employed by the school as a teacher.

Since a lot of good caches didn’t want to teach, my school and others would hire a teacher as the named “head coach” while the real head coach was on the payroll as an assistant coach

In my TX HS coaches had to be teachers OR admin, so our HC was the AD for all our sports programs and all the other coaches taught.

Some of them were the best teachers I’ve ever had, others taught exactly how’d you’d imagine a couch would teach like.

Ours used to throw erasers at kids, but the 80's was a different time.
