To tell the truth, coach movement is not that unusual anymore. It has become harder to be a coach (in any sport).

When those of my generation competed, your high school coach automatically got your respect and the respect of the parents and community because the were the coach. That isn't the case anymore.

Parents who never wrestled but have a few years of watching kids wrestling under their belts think they're smarter than the high school coach. The wealthier of these parents send their kids to this camp or that camp with coaches there who say whatever the parents want to hear. Now they're smarter than the high school coach.

And now we have kids who you can't talk mean to or parents who have coaches and/or ADs on speed dial to complain about everything from fairness of wrestleoffs to the color of singlets being too revealing (don't laugh, it's happened).

And, of course, we have the Richards of the world to whom we are all answerable at all times.

It is sad to say but coaching has become a tougher profession — not just because of competition, but because it tougher to get people to leave you alone to coach.

And it happens, even to the best. Even top notch coaches get this treatment. They may not want to admit it publicly, but trust me, it happens. At some point enough becomes enough and they move on.

I truly hope that Coach Bahe moved on for all the right reasons (like a new challenge or opportunity) and not because of the problems that have been created.
