Speaking of assistant coaches' contracts,


T. Kyle, as a lawyer, you have probably run into situations involving employment contracts involving "covenants not to compete" in various areas such as physicians, salesmen, researchers, etc. Are such "covenants" used in coaching contracts, particularly assistant coaches? And, if not, why not? It would seem as reasonable in this area as in the area of doctors, for example. In Georgia, I think such restrictions are valid if reasonable in terms of area, duration, duties, etc. In other words, you cannot keep a doctor from practicing throughout the state of Georgia if he practiced only in Macon for the practice seeking to prohibit him/her from competing with his old job. Why not keep an assistant from recruiting in the area he was designated for College X if he bots to College Y__at least for a few years? And, why not keep an assistant from coaching in the same division of the SEC for a period of 2 years or so? These things may be done now. I just don't know.
