Ridiculous.

As you say if you are worthy of entering the temple you should be able to enter the testing center.

I'd like to see BYU drop the requirement that the HC be LDS. I get that they need someone that can understand LDS but

No, but probably comes as close as any to understanding things from an LDS

Is it really that hard to understand? Are non-LDS coaches to dumb to figure it

how much value does "understanding" it bring? i think that is the question

Agree. Lots of reasons why most often you are going to want an active LDS HC but

My first reaction is to agree however I think there's another aspect to this that I like in having an LDS coach. I'm not

It creates an incestuous coaching pole instead of a tree. Even the BoM agrees

What non-LDS coach does the poster want to hire?

Sure. Or Holmoe. Or maybe some players were AP's

The bigger issue is changing the honor code to an honor code and not an enforcement code

Good idea, remove consequences. That always works.

There are some, but eliminating 95% of coaches is not a good competitive ground
