would you let your daughter play for this coach??

I'm not sure....

I'm not sure there are many HS coaches that would/could pass on all of these rules! I'm not sure there are many HS AD's that would/could pass this critiria!
Not saying they shouldn't, just saying don't think many could! I know of some, right off the TOP of my head that COULD NOT!

That said, I do not in any way agree with a cheating coach!
However once the player is in college, scholarship especially, it is an incredibly TOUGH decision to throw away that scholarship! Yes, I would want my DD to take the Right Road and refuse to cheat for that coach or anyone else! In college the players are looked at as adults, in which they are supposed to be ready to make their own decisions! If you have done your job properly as parents, they will make the right decision for them! They may not quit the team, but may decide to ride the bench, rather than cheat!
To be perfectly honest, I think it is just sickening that a player would even have to be put it this arena and made to make such a choice!
Posters on here are all the time posting that a player has to be allowed to grow up and make their own decisions/choices/etc... Well, while I agree with that, this is a PERFECT example of a time when a kid should be able to rely on the support of their parents, to make the proper decision on how to handle this situation! Sometimes it REALLY is OK for a parent to step up and support their kid! Not baby, not passify and not caudle, but SUPPORT and GUIDE, that is a part of being a parent!
I would like to know, did the parents/fans of this team know that this stuff was going on? If so, then they ALL took part in the cheating process! The coach, players, umpires, parents and fans all had their part in the cheating! Especially if no one stood up and said anything to the proper people, to get it stopped! When I say proper people then that means the person or persons putting on the tournament and the AD's affected and all! Everyone has to answer to someone! This type behavior should not be allowed to go on, PERIOD!

Good Evening Everyone
First of all i have being associated with This Coach for the last 4 years and I have NEVER EVER heard or was told to cheat, not to me or to the Team, for people to come up and start attacking thiS Coach without the facts is totally unfair. As for the coaches in the Conference stating that he hsa done this every year i would like them to Contact me and give me specifics about the situation because it has NEVER happen this man is a man of Honor and he hsa Too much respect for the Girls that he coaches and the Game. Some people need to understand when someone gets a Walk is for a reason again I have NEVER heard the Coach make a statement as to Walk this batter because she turned us down, Again you do not know this Coach as I do. Again he is a Man of Integrity and Honor and I stand By him 100%. Thank You for your Time

 

Coach Who?......

...obviously you're seeing or hearing one side of the story. Your post reads clearly that you know of NO issues like this while you were associated with this Coach/program. answer me this....if theres not a problem , then why has the assistant coaches hit the road? Lets hear what the NCAA, and the incident reports by the umps registered to the BIGS have to say. Hsa, in the literate world means who?, ....I mean, what?....Ohhh, Has, now I get the spelling. Idit as ut the bottum coch.

 

This thread could have been much better without mentioning the team. Now it's going to go in a different direction (he said/she said)

 

Coach Who...

are you saying that you had no knowlege of this or any other illegal tactic prior to the offense, or are you saying that it did not occur at all? In your wording all you mentioned was that he has never (to the best of your recollection) asked a player or yourself to cheat. As a head coach he probably does not have to ask. He tells. With 28-29 young ladies on his roster the threat of replacement could be a standing order if a player chose not to comply. Tough decision for a player that just wants to get some playing time. Please clarify.....

 

My dd being a honest player would probably address this herself. If we teach are kids with morals values and respect for themselves, I say at this age they will make the right decision on what to do in this situation. (greed gets us no where in life). As for me, the parent I would contact ad if that did not work I would go to higher authorities.No need to bad mouth. If coach is really cheating he/she will eventually be caught it happens to the best.

 

would you let your daughter play for this coach

First of all I was there for 4 years and the ONLY reason i left was because i Became a head Coach elsewhere. If that was not the case i would still be there. As for the cheating, it never happened.

 

guess i been gone too long
i dont even know how to respond
tar , feathers , and my truck with a chain or 4 would be a start tho
