There's been a lot of discussions on various forums around just exactly what's it's ok for a coach to do. So rather than jump on a high horse (since I've marked a few boxes myself), I thought it would be really really interesting, to take an anonymous survey. I hope you spread the word - and be honest!
The questions below all apply to "player(s) I coach(ed)". Even if you've only done it once - that counts. Mark every single thing that applies. Please don't vote on what you THINK the role of the coach is.... I want to know what people are actually DOING. Just like Kinsey.

What is appropriate? What do YOU do?

Great survey. I was wondering if you'd add the type of coach. IE: Man who coaches women's college, or women's club. Those answers should be broken out.
Not to stand a soap box, but I think that the longer a coach stays with a team, the more that as a coach, you begin to cross more of those boundaries. When dealing with college players, it becomes easier to take on more responsibility in the name of "consistency and fluidity" but its not always in the best interest of the team. And then you cross into some of the issues of personal relationships with players, whether intimate or not-- they happen. Before I throw stones, I can say that my wife was one of my players, and out of my bridesmaids, 3 out of 6 were players of mine over 6 year period.
