reply to this post as a college student would. Though I have not been in athletics for very long, I have quickly learned that there are more institutions who struggle with facility problems, than there are not. Even if a program has the necessary resources to run a successful program, a facility is typically not something that can be built quickly. To ensure that all sports are provided with a facility that works, we sometimes need to make decisions that others may not like, and to have a chain of priority when there is overlap. Hint 1: Have your own department priority list and make it known at the beginning of the season. This looks different at every institution, but an example would be with priority going to in-season, varsity sports first. After this, some programs move to the most veteran coaches. Having this priority list makes it easier to halt problems before they arise between coaches. Hint 2: Use your local resources. For example, in Fulton, we have 2-3 high school gyms, 2 college arenas, and multiple gyms at the local YMCA and Rec Center. As an AA, it is our job to ensure that we have a good relationship with the administrators. This relationship is essential to make sure that our teams have somewhere to practice if our schedule is interrupted due to events, or if we simply do not have the space for a team. Overall, being creative and versatile is essential in ensuring success, equality, and a positive student experience
