Coaching Changes

March Madness is upon us. But it's not just the games that bring excitement...many coaches are making career moves that better themselves and their staffs. It's a domino effect that leaves many coaches on a roller-coaster ride.

Yet, behind many exciting press conferences announcing a new coach is the flip-side of the change. Several of these openings are due to someone being fired. And when that someone gets fired, that also means the four or five other coaches on the staff are let go, too. And in many cases, so are the strength coaches, athletic trainers, secretaries. You may have 10 families involved who are suddenly looking for jobs.

Many of the firings may be warranted, for whatever rationale. But, let's not lose sight of the human element involved. At the very least, we should genuinely pray for the people involved.
