Well, I REALLY believe in evolution, so if was soccer coach, for instance, would that mean that it wouldn't bother you if you found out that I would take 15 minutes out of soccer practice to share my beliefs with your child without your knowledge or approval? Or how about if that soccer coach was a devout Muslim, and was teaching your child about Islam at soccer practice?

It seems that in Texas lately a lot of the football coaches are making their players "volunteer" to kneel down in a circle in the middle of the field before the game for a prayer. There is 100% participation by the players. I suspect very strongly that if a player didn't "volunteer" to pray, he would be off of the team. It sure looks like, in Texas at least, football coaches need to be Christian evangelists, or they are not hired.
