How can a full-time NCAA coach take on a side project like this? Wouldn't it be a major contract violation?

I hear he’s not being paid to coach him but also I imagine there isn’t anything in his contract saying he can’t coach post collegiate athletes.
Only if his contract forbids him from coaching outside of his college duties. Probably takes him about 10 minutes a day.
Doesn't he coach Rachel Schneider?
Doesn’t Wetmore coach Jenny and some others? Warhurst coached Willis for a long time while still coaching UofM.
Ray Tracey has been moonlighting for years.
How can a teacher work nights and weekend waiting at Applebee’s? Cause there’s nothing in their teaching contract prevents it.
I'm sure the AD wouldn't have a problem resigning a contract with updated terms to allow their program to take credit for the country's leading marathoner* - especially in an Olympic year
(sure there's some controversy/ethical debate/speculation, but nothing has been proven yet)

College coaches coach pro's on the side all the time. Steve Magness coaches Sara Hall etc, Clemson's coach Mark Elliott coaches Natoya Goule, Jared Ward is coached by the BYU coach, Clayton Murphy just went back to his college coach. Do you think these coaches are just doing it for charity?
I'd say that over 25% of top head distance coaches are coaching a post-collegiate athlete as well, typically one of their previous athletes that is still training. (no stats to back this up, but I know several without even thinking hard).
Isn't Ward still coached by Eyestone? Is Mason Ferlic still training at Michigan? Are professional athletes being coached by Mark Wetmore? Did Clayton Murphy switch back to his college coach? I can go on and on.
A pro coach told me he (they?) don't take a fee to coach pro's. They have their own contract and get a % of the athlete's winnings.
I'd like to hear if this is still true, completely false, or just some of them.
For example, I know hobby joggers who pay a completely clueless buffoon $60.00 a month to write workouts for them.
Most of them are women in the 24-29 5K range.
That pro coach told me that he would coach people like that for free, like community service.
Whetmore, Tracey, Centrowitz Sr., even Gags back in the day...
It's pretty common for NCAA coaches to take on outside coaching gigs.
You make this thread without any justification for why it would be illegal to coach him?

Some athletes have in their contract a certain amount that goes to the coach, so they might have $5k that goes to their coach. Just about all coaches either have another sort of job, or multiple pro athletes so they aren't just living on that $5k.
Some coaches that are NCAA coaches will continue coaching their athlete for free. It is good advertising to new recruits to say you're coaching 'so and so' even to this day. Best case scenario is they start coaching for free, the athlete gets a contract that already contains a clause for some payment to the coach.

The obvious explanation would be that this particular coach does not have anything in his employment contract preventing him from coaching a professional runner. Instead, you choose to assume that he does have such a stipulation in his contract, then wonder how he is getting away with it. Why not just accept the simple explanation as the most likely case?
Your assumption that this coach is contractually prevented from coaching Rupp is probably wrong. It's that simple.
Coach K coached the mens national team a few times.
I’m curious as to how these coached athletes automatically get access to the Uni track but the public doesn’t. Must be be tough on post collegiate pole vaulters.
Why do you think this? College coaches have coached pros simultaneously before.
Look, it is very doubtful that he is training elfie. Banned or not, cheating is the default mode for sleazy sal and if training elfie is cheating, then sleazy is feeding off the high. All elfie really needs is to make sure that the pharmacy is always open.
Free country. His side job is also coaching.
