We all knew your stance stumble since on every one of your posts regarding coaching your kissing their butts and throwing every youth athletes parents under the bus whether they are great coaches or poor. You usually go on to talk about the Strong programs of Eastern (Exchange student express)Brown and the awesome programs of Latham. Ill give u Greenfield, he was a very good coach. Those are far and few between. Im sorry the reality bothers you, but if coaches agree to the job, the taxpayers of the district own you and yes they COULD be crazy. The coaches answer to the principals, AD they answer to the Super, he or she to the board and yes... they answer to the community. Even the community you insulted in an earlier post, Bainbridge. Who cares if they stuck around for them to get medals. I always did so the kids would not want to lose again even more. Its a dreadful feeling watching someone receive something that you desperately wanted. I do not agree that a single set of parents or group should run the show. There are several programs that have fallen victim to that. Still feel Wilmington could have won, they didn't.
blackcobra1:
Your quotes about coaches are very disturbing. Have you been to any of their practices or watched their interactions with players off the court? So much of coaching is done outside the lines. The schools you listed as having poor coaches or coaches that can't adapt to their players were all lacking in talent, size, depth, or all of the above. Most head coaches make about 5K-6K per year, yet put in countless hours in the weight room, gym, and office well beyond the season. They do it for the love of the game and for the relationships they build with their players.
"the taxpayers of the district own you and yes they COULD be crazy" I thought the old-fashioned days of indentured servitude were over a long time ago. No human being owns another human being. Congratulations on being a tax payer and doing what the law requires you to do. However, that doesn't give you the right to hide behind a screen name and bash people who you may or may not know on a public forum. If you are so concerned about the state of the game in your school district, or the ones that your relatives attend (yes, I know which one it is), submit a coaching application, or volunteer your time as an unpaid assistant to help the program get to the level you see fit. I, for one, would love to see your coaching resume.
