Judith Young Quotations

We got criticized because we didn't change our rules overnight.

We're trying to move into the 21st century.

When I was coaching in the schools years ago, I remember working about an eight-week period for the season. Now for many coaches it is practice every day, with preseason and postseason activities.

We would certainly recommend that teams travel together under school-insured transportation.

Coach salaries or stipends would vary tremendously, from no stipend to $7,000 or $8,000. Probably $9,000 would be the highest I have heard of.

It's a different world than it was 77 years ago,

It's the ill-informed that lash out. They get it off their chests. We have found the best way is not to answer back, because you're not going to change their mind one way or the other.

That has been a big thing, because there are quite a few people who love coaching and love youth sports and are willing to do these without any stipend. For those who want to get paid, that makes it difficult.

I'm glad Mrs. Palmer has joined us. I hope she feels accepted.
