I assume that’s on top of their teachers salary…

If they are also teachers. My daughter's cheer coach is not a teacher, she coaches high school cheer as a side gig.

With opportunity cost I lost well over $100k coaching. I was a sole practitioner

That thought came to mind as well as a coach would have to give up some family

Yes. It's also why we attract a number of very weird/bad/odd school coaches.

Going a lot a bit nerd here. So at .07/hr to earn $4,500.00 one would have to work-- 64,285.71 hours. That's dedication!

I immediately did the same thing, and it sounds like Hans' math isn't mathing very well

That coach should get the $4,500 AND Rachel's hand in marriage.

The math still doesn't work. Even at $1 per hour, 4500 hours works out to

The guy was a high school football coach, not a math teacher. Cut him some slack.

Do people get paid for time and travel when they go to work?

No not at all. She is not a teacher so I was just pointing out that . . .

Don Juan can elaborate on this, but basically a high school coach gets a stipend

Those stipends sound right, but the hourly is off, though the real hourly

We forget sometimes that the point of HS sports isn't to train up future pros.

The problem with this mentality is that it then requires more from the coaches

$.06 per hour is not accurate. While I applaud the sacrifice high school coaches
