@DEvanAltman I wish you were kidding, but as an educator I'm all to aware you are not.

[Seth Davis @SethDavisHoops]

First of all, thanks for all the tweets, texts and calls. There is so much kindness in the world! We are grateful my wife’s breast cancer is treatable, and after several surgeries she is cancer free. We intend to keep it that way!

The reason why I challenged @AnthemBlueCross @AnthemBCBS on this platform is because they are asserting that a lumpectomy only costs $1,000, which is ludicrous anywhere, but especially in LA. We asked them to explain how they arrived at that number and after agreeing to do so, they are now withholding the info because they don’t want to violate the privacy of their providers. Imagine! They randomly pluck a farcical number out of the air to save themselves thousands of dollars in direct violation of their policy, and say they don’t need to explain how or why. We are bracing for another fight regarding her double mastectomy.

We are doing what we can to remedy this, including putting them on blast here. But if you scroll through the replies below, you see that our case is not only not unusual – it is the norm. It’s hard enough to get health insurance in this country. The fact that so many insurance companies deny care over and over again in blatant violation of their policies is mind boggling. It’s good to know we are not alone, but I actually wish we were. It pains me to see that so many of you are enduring through your most painful health experiences while being treated by insurance companies in such an illegal and immoral manner.

Please keep retweeting these messages. There is strength in numbers! Let’s fight them together. And thank you everyone for your kindness. March is coming!

THREAD:

When I coached football at DeKalb, my stipend check arrived every two weeks.

For $99.

Not per day.
Not per practice.
Per pay period.

One season as a freshman basketball coach brought a grand total of $1,000.

For an entire season.

Today, as a varsity basketball official, I’ll typically earn $83 for a contest — before taxes, before travel, before the quiet math that reminds you this was never designed to be lucrative.

Those numbers aren’t shared as complaints.

They’re shared because context matters.

Because perspective matters.

And because conversations about high school athletics have developed a curious tendency to drift far from the lived realities inside schools.

Especially the loud conversations.
Especially the viral ones.
Especially the ones built for engagement rather than understanding.

Because perspective, inconveniently, tends to belong to those who have actually lived inside this world.

Because if you’ve never lived inside this space — not observed it, not commented from afar, not tweeted about it — but truly lived it — the conclusions can come easily.

If you’ve never been evaluated as a coach by an administrator. Never navigated roster decisions that directly affect teenagers and families. Never balanced classroom responsibilities with practices, film sessions, eligibility compliance, offseason regulations, and the quiet emotional labor coaching demands. Never sacrificed evenings, weekends, holidays, and family time for compensation that looks dramatically different when divided by hours invested.

Then yes…

The realities are easy to misread.

And the narrative circulating online can sound persuasive.

“More lazy high school coaches than ever.”

It’s a striking claim.

It’s also the kind of simplicity that travels exceptionally well online — clean, confident, and ultimately very… dare I say… lazy. 🤨

Because real life inside schools is rarely that tidy.

Most high school coaches are teachers or school staff working full days before stepping into a gym or onto a field. They manage lesson plans, grading, meetings, interventions, and student needs long before practice begins. Then comes preparation, planning, communication, compliance, logistics, mentorship, hours of film session on a Sunday morning and countless unseen moments that never make it into social media commentary.

All for stipends that, when measured honestly against hours invested, would surprise many of the loudest critics.

Most coaches are not getting rich.

They’re getting tired.

I never dreamed that I would see an IU football National Championship! Especially before Purdue basketball won one. We are in the upside down.
