    Ok, now that's been all cleared up what about when you know your former coach's secrets?

    Is it proper when he's about to strip coach your opponent to arrange for a busty blonde to wander over to him and ask him in an Eastern European language if he has any more cigarettes and would like to go outside for a smoke?

    Once again, I've checked the USOC ...and the Canadien Coaching ethics codes and there is nothing that specifically addresses this situation.

    I would even venture to say that it would be correct to stip coach a student against another current student if one student paid for you to be there and strip coach and the other did not. I little bit more of a grey area than the one suggest but still not unethical. The coach has a professional obligation to the student who wants him the most and is willing to purchase it.

    I know that my coach fences against her current students, and gives advice if two of her current students are fencing each other (which happens quite often). Her club is a nonprofit.(), so she coaches the less experienced in an uneven matchup rather than the highest paying. She is always there, and strip coaches you without you asking or paying anything. So do all the local coaches

    Non-profit doesn't mean you don't make money, or no one gets paid for their work.

    Non-profit doesn't mean that you don't charge fair value for services rendered.

    Non-profit shouldn't mean that you help one student at the expense of another.

    Non-profit is not synonomous with "not professional".

    It does, however, preclude you from making accurate predictions of the future.
