List and explain the three least important factors in the decision.

Question 2: Your high school is located in an area near a military base, thus you gain (and lose) many "new" players each year as their parents are re-assigned. This particular school year, an outstanding quarterback has moved into your school zone for his senior year after being named first-team all-state as a junior in another state. Your team is very talented and has a veteran quarterback who has "paid his dues" in your system for three years. Describe how you will avoid conflicts within the team structure while giving each player a fair chance to compete.

Question 3: Describe in detail your "medical emergency plan" in case of serious injury during a team practice. Is it different from the procedure you would use during an official athletic contest? Why or why not?

Question 5: You are the head softball coach at a small, enrollment-driven college with a limited budget. Unexpectedly, your team wins the conference championship and qualifies for the national tournament. The tournament will be played at a site three states away; lodging, meals, transportation, etc., are estimated to cost $10,000. The Athletic Department at your institution does not budget for post-season national competition, so you need to find funding. What do you do?

Question 6: Give three very important reasons why you would send each returning player a letter prior to the start of a new season. What would the letter contain? Describe the tone of the letter. What purpose are you trying to accomplish with the letter?
