BigO 316 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Can someone "in the know" please tell me if VHSL rules prevent a high school AD from also being a head coach for any sport at that school? Just doing some research. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Nope. Coach Carlock was AD at Graham for many, many years while being the head football coach. Glynn, Jr. is both AD and head boys basketball coach now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 At a lot of the schools in our region, the AD is also a coach. Very common practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks guys....was afraid it was allowed. I had heard from people NOT "in the know" that it wasn't allowed. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks guys....was afraid it was allowed. I had heard from people NOT "in the know" that it wasn't allowed. Thanks for your help. I think every AD Battle has ever had has been a head coach of some sport. I can't even think of an AD around that doesn't coach in SWVA. Personally, I don't like it. What happens when someone has a problem (serious problem, not "Johnny doesn't get enough playing time" problem) with a head coach who's also the AD? The AD would usually be the one you'd go to and the Principal is usually to busy too deal with every problem (which is why there's an AD to handle sports issues).

To knowledge, Richlands AD Rick Vencill is not a coach. Or at least he wasn't when I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,450 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 To knowledge, Richlands AD Rick Vencill is not a coach. Or at least he wasn't when I was there. Tom Rife was the head basketball coach his entire time of being AD. Greg Rowe at Grundy was the head football coach while being the AD, so yeah, it is a pretty standard practice.

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 To knowledge, Richlands AD Rick Vencill is not a coach. Or at least he wasn't when I was there. Could be mistaken, but I thought Ricky was the wrestling coach when he was first tapped as AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Vencill is and has been the boys and girls cross country coach. Hard to believe maybe but it is so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Some county Supers around the state have decreed that AD's can't be a coach. Since the rules changed a while back allowing year-round practice, now, most FB/BB coaches don't have time to be AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
