  4. Vin, I listened to your show this afternoon and tried to get through with a phone call but was unscusseful. I wanted to send you an email because I coached at GCC (early 00's) and have first-hand experience of the so-called recruiting that goes on. A caller touched on it earlier in the show in that at GCC "recruiting" was a matter of being in the office and answering calls and/or returning messages. I was in the head coaches office on many occasions when a call was received by a parent inquiring about the football program and their son who intended on transferring. The conversation was always approached by our head coach explaining that if their son was enrolled in the school he could absolutely come out for the football team. In the case during the years I was there we didn't even have cuts! There was never a guarantee of playing time but the opportunity to come out for the team was always available. The claim that the GCC coaches were out combing the midget leagues is absolutely false. Specifically during the season Saturdays were spent with JV games and Sundays were spent breaking down film on the next opponent. In addition there was never a situation where we combed the HS stats, found a player doing well and dialed up the number of the player and invited him to come to GCC. It just didn't happen, I'm not sure what people think these coaches do with their free time but the little bit of free time was not spent looking for the next LaVar Arrington. Time spent "recruiting" is both illegal but it would take away time from us making the kids that we had better! As far as tuition goes - I believe that if a student is Catholic the diocese or possibly the parish often times helped out with tuition. In addition there are work-study options that helped the family pay. There was never an instance where a coach or adminstrator paid for a particular student or sought out a beneficiary to pay for a student's tuition. It just never happened. Interestingly, while I coached there I was often asked about our "recruiting" tactics and it was always made known to me that "everyone knows you recruited so and so. In each instance I asked where they got their information - in specifics and was always met with "well I know it happens because my cousins friend's best friend goes there and he doesn't pay". In every case I asked if I could get the specific name of the person claiming to have the information and if I could contact them to inquire because if that was the case I wanted to get it addressed and if any impropriety was taking place I wanted to put an end to it. You can imagine how many people were able to come up with 1st person proof that this was going on. It just never happened. I hope this sheds some light on this and if you have any questions I would be happy to try to answer them for you. Please note - I have no dog in the fight. I don't coach there and I don't have any kids going there. I simply coached there and I know how the school operates and I know that such claims are just not true. Thank you sir. I enjoy your show. Keep up the good work.
