The push to get high school coaches in Florida more supplemental pay will pick up in the coming months and the legislator heading it up sees a real possibility of change in the coming years.
Rep. Adam Anderson, a Republican who represents District 57 in Pinellas County, has spoken to the Florida Coaches Coalition and college coaches in the state on what can be done about an issue that sends good coaches out of the state or out of coaching entirely every year.
The details are still in the exploratory stages but revenue from sports betting, which has been legal in Florida for roughly a year, could be an avenue for the state to tap as it tries to bridge the massive divide between high school coaches here and those in other states.
