However, most of the time it is handled well and everyone understands the situation. When it isn't is when it blows up.
I guess the question is:
In the South if you screw over a kid in Memphis, does that follow you to a recruitment in Atlanta? Is there something connecting these south coaches across state borders and long distances?
Because here in Texas, the distance between Memphis and Atlanta is less than some of these high school coaches travel to for conventions. Words of your misdeeds spread through hundreds of miles and dozens of communities in one fell swoop.
I don't know, maybe that network exists in the south. It exists in Texas, and it means when things aren't "handled well" the penalty is severe.

Not unless it becomes your reputation over time, no.
States have their own networks the way Texas does, but generally those don't extend over state lines unless there is a connection or, like I said, the coach has a terribl reputation for it.
