Re: Coaches who were cut in college or have fake news resume.
had pro coaches, USA Olympic players as coaches.. best head coach I had couldn't skate for ****. His results and resume were legit. His assistants had all the college and pro experience but could not wear his jock strap.

can we do away with the nonsense that you have to have played at a high level to be able to coach, let alone be a good coach. That's BS.
I know plenty of good coaches that have not played college, and I know some coaches that have played pro than cannot coach for their life of it.
I don't think the thread is about the inadequacy of coaches that do not have high-level playing experience. The beef is with coaches misrepresenting their playing experience. I think we can agree the latter is a sign of a bad person, although not necessarily a bad coach.

Does it happen often? How many coaches are there vs how many attempt to lie about their background? Are we talking 1 in 200? Most organizations do their due diligence on these guys and then their is the world wide web..if a guy says he played college hockey 30 years ago but really didn't, does that change how your little duster goes around cones or catches a pass? I agree it is wrong and a D*** move, but does it really change the outcome of how your kid develops?

I remember getting a WN email telling me he played Catholic, Juniors and then professional hockey. But we were already on our way out so it didn't matter to me. Most parents with hockey parents saw right through it too, the rest fell for it.
