A coach is missing or their info is wrong

How coach contact data stays current, how to add a missing coach yourself, and how to report bad data.

Coaching staffs change constantly, especially in the offseason. Here's how that's handled.

How the database stays current

We refresh coaching staff rosters, titles, and contact info on a monthly cadence across the whole database. If a coach just changed jobs, the update may not have landed yet.

Add a missing coach yourself

You don't have to wait for the next refresh. On the program's profile page, click Add Contact, then fill in the coach's Name, Title, and Email. Contacts you add appear alongside the listed staff, and emails to them work exactly like emails to any listed coach, including tracking. See college program profile pages for where contacts live.

Report bad data

Wrong email, departed coach, broken link, discontinued program: email [email protected] with the school and what's wrong. These reports feed the refresh directly.
