assistant coaching position for lax and other sports starting next year. So Ryder Garnsey, if he wants it, is probably getting on the pay role next year regardless.
IIRC, the rule is you either need to pay your voluntary coach a salary or you can't have a voluntary coach. I think there was a lawsuit about it filed by voluntary assistant baseball coaches about unpaid wages or something to that effect. Not surprising the NCAA lost that litigation.
...starting in July. Right now, many schools have loaded up on "directors" of various aspects who can help with on-campus recruiting.
Now, these two new assistants can coach in practice and games, can recruit on campus but cannot leave campus to recruit (no home visits for the those two slots).
I saw a team photo of the Texas Tech team that eliminated ND from the tourney in 22. There were more non-players than players in that photo.
one year, there was a kid whose father was an assistant basketball coach for a local DI school. He was telling me all the various non-coaching positions on his basketball team including a masseuse, team psychologist, analytics position, an intermediary position that could be best described as a person that would communicate between the players and head coach if there was an issue. I asked him if it wasn't the role of the assistant coach to be the intermediary and he said "not anymore."
Wonder if that might be an issue if he became a full time coach?
Danowski currently plays for Chrome LC of the Premier Lacrosse League and he's been on his dad's staff for years.
Still, I think Garnsey works "a day job" in addition to all the lax commitments. Wonder what routes will open up for him if this rule will "force" a this way or not decision.
