I believe I stated rather clearly that while, in most (considerably more well-funded) Ontario schools I know about, coaches are all physical education teachers.
As I don't live in whatever social-conscience-lacking state you do, I can't really say how things are specifically done, but I can say a great deal of money must be spent on athletics. Coaches are only one link in the chain.
Way to go, though. I guess you showed me up big time by proving, once again, that I'm not from your little corner of America and am not aware of every single minute aspect of your culture. I hang my head in shame.
