I too think the rule is a bad rule and should be changed. But my question to those who also don't like this rule is this: What if the highly recruited player's high school HC is also his father like Jalen Hurts? Would hiring the kid's father be a violation of another NCAA rule?
I see argument on both sides. I've seen kids follow their HS coaches to schools for years in both football and basketball when you knew there was some quid pro quo involved. But high school coaches also should not be effectively banned from progressing in their chosen careers either. I think the NCAA will fold like a cheap suit like they always do when push comes to shove anyway. It is probably a rule that may not stand up to legal challenge anyway, IMHO.

Wouldn’t think so since he is a high school head coach & I assume was one before Jalen got to high school.

I don't care for a lot of the ncaa bylaws but this one seem like legit legislation. And it woukdnt prevent you from takung a job at a school where your high school students aren't attending.
How to not make a Cam reference? Oh, to heck with it. What's the difference between paying for work and paying for no work?
I see your point, but it still isn't right. HS coaches probably do not have a large window of open places where they could possibly go. So, you would forcing them to limit their own options even further or direct their kids to schools they do not look to go to work for, which also may not necessarily be in the kid's best interest. I can see how leaving it open can lead to all sorts of possibilities for corruption, but the corrupt are going to be corrupt either way. But this whole deal with telling a coach he can't move up to college, or where he can and can't go, is quite unfair and I doubt would hold up in court.
Didn't Hugh Sleeze do the same? Rode on the back of a "Blue Chip" player on his HS team (Michael Oher) to parlay his player's talent into a career move for himself?
Greg Hardy was also in the Briarcrest to Ole Sis pipeline
