Obviously, their parents didn't want them leading either as they pulled them out to go to other schools. Only one that left is actually starting anywhere else...the other's are not playing, or seeing little playing time.

What was wrong with their leadership...someone said they were like 8-2 or 9-3 or something like that.
Was it player jealousy, or parent jealousy??? I heard all about blaming the coach...heck all he did when he was there was win according to what I have seen and heard...but he is gone. Anyone can talk about his tactics, and all he did was win...and his players still come back to talk to him and really like him. Speaks more volume than the ones that didn't play, have no voice, or those that quit and left, gave up the right to talk...in my opinion.

Parents are in volved everywhere...they got involved up in continental...probably going to drive that coach off, and he is Alumni and was player of year in Ohio...but parent thinks he knows more. Unbelievable! They got involved at some other schools as well. Parkway, story on boys side with Bath...just funny to read all this stuff, but it always revolves around parents not liking the coach.....

Parents just always insert themselves. They don't like anyone yelling at their kids. No matter what. They will complain to the AD, school board, or just anyone that will listen. Coaches in today's game don't last long due to parent over involvement.

If you hope your kid is going to play at the next level...grow some thick skin now and let the HS coach do what he needs to do to prepare your kid. At the next level, that coach is going to rip a new one, and not use all the PC language that a HS coach is supposed to use. They are going to say what ever they want to say...watch Rick Pitino, Thad Matta, read lips at all???? Some of you parents would be charging the floor after them if they talked to your kid.

Skill set, what is your child's ability??? Do they work at the game and their skill, or just pick it up before the season starts and then expect to play alot???

Parents want a coach to come in and make there school team a winner! To build a good thogram a coach will need 5-6 years. Most don't get 3-4. The parents want the winner now...but don't make the player accountable for anything like team camp, open gym, weight lifting, conditioning. Heck, let the kid skip practice the night before a game to go to OSU basketball game, and then be ticked when he/she doesn't play the next night, and call the school board member and complain....yea, makes sense to me.

AD's need to have a stiff backbone and tell parents to stay out of the program. No interference rule for parents.
If the coach is out of line, trust the Administration to act on that through evaluations...want to have a winner? There is a small plan...when you hear another parent complaining about the coach, tell them to stop, you don't want to hear it. Tell them you think the coach is doing a good job!

I'm not a parent, however I am a fan and I see favortism. I talked to a parent of one of the players. It is known amongst the team the amount of sucking up and ass kissing two players and their parents do to the coaching staff. They all see it. Somebody said in an earlier post maybe the girl doesn't work during practice. Well I talked to a father of a player and this dad told me his daughter said #4 is first in almost every drill. He told me she played all summer and that she trains every morning before school with Joe Horn at the school so she's putting the time in. I watch the games, both JV and varsity, and there is no reason if you're going to play JV players in the varsity game that #4 is not the first player you play. I would venture to say she leads in most statistical categories outside of maybe rebounds. Maybe I'm old fashioned but that girl plays with grit and I like it. She's tough and hustles and is not afraid to take a chance to make a play.

I am more than happy to give the coach the time he needs to build a program, but when his playing decisions are based on butt kissing over performance he won't build one.

You will always think there is butt kissing going on. It only takes a few people to plant the seed, and it's done, and true.

I understand the issue and perception. Is it real??? Was it real last year? Or just implied, and a few ran with whatever the story.

Same thing at the other schools mentioned. Parents are at the root cause. They don't like coaches that won't play their kids. All kids are future college players. If they aren't playing, the coach is at fault. He is playing favorites, or getting his butt kissed, or palms greased, our whatever...

It isn't you, but parents that are the problem.

Flounder, I concur!
I was thinking of the boys coach.
My fault, thanks for the correction.
