    After reading the Webb article today in USA Today I haev 1 question and it is not about Webb at all. In the article it mentioned that Nike was going to pay his HS coach $25,000 to coach Webb. If he is in fact getting paid by Nike is he still allowed to coach at a HS? Now I know that there are going to be people jumping all over me, but I guess my question is this. Can a HS coach sign a contract with an equipment company such as Nike and still coach in HS? Will coach Razcko still coach at South Lakes?

    I have no idea where Raczko will be coaching this year. However, I don't know why it would be wrong for him to have a Nike deal. The high school may have a rule against it but there are no laws against it.

    It's a stupid concept anyway. They could just pay Webb $25k extra and have him give it to him.

    The thing I found weird about the article was seeing Dick Patrick quote John Cook in the article. That was ridiculous. Cook and Razcko are good friends.

    Not exactly an unbiased opinion but who knows. Maybe he had to agree to it to get the exclusive.
