I've coached at the highest levels in both Texas and California. It's hard to explain it, but Texas is just different. I would say one of the biggest differences from the 2 states is that Texas doesn't allow for "volunteer" coaches or coaches who are not employed by the school district. Coaching/teaching is their profession, with an emphasis on the coaching. What I noticed in California is you would get some coaches who weren't in the teaching profession and the coaching aspect was more of a hobby, not a career or profession. It's different when you have every coach on your staff in the building. And there is just more exposure/importance put on the sport here. We had 25000 people show up for our 2nd round playoff game this year. Most states won't get anywhere near that for a state championship game. This is just my observation from coaching in Texas and California, it could be similar in other states. I will say this, I will definitely not be heading back to Cali any time soon.

envious of this^^^^ i coach in FL right now, some of the most incredible athletes i have ever seen do some things that you cannot coach. some of the best, most underpaid guys around. scheme, technique, the whole 9. not sure why some of us/them dont leave. other than its 12/15 and 82 degrees and sunny out right now....so thats the trade off i guess
