Katrina brings out coaching sharks

Natural disasters seem to bring out the best and worst in people.
We have heard numerous reports about how Americans are working together to help those who have been displaced by Katrina. Unfortunately, there are some people, namely opportunistic coaches who are helping themselves to top-notch high school athletes who have been displaced. The New York Times featured an article Sept. 16 about coaches who have been using highly suspect tactics to lure all-state athletes to their teams after the athletes' schools were washed away by Katrina.
