I think I will always side with TT on this one. Parents in generally, but especially in Ottoville, can be a little absurd. If there was really anything that TT did that was so so so terrible, he wouldn't have made it this far.
Like others have stated, the state of the boys' programs in Ottoville has not been great, and basketball has by far been the most successful.
Good luck to the new coach. I figured that Utendorf would be named the new coach. Noticed that he sat next to the AD during all of the tournament basketball games, boys and girls. It seems like it was in the works.
Truly, best of luck to the new coach. I will always love the Big Green and hope they do well! Hopefully, this guy is the right guy!
And good luck to TT, whatever his next move may be.

I would go for that to get his 10 wins to reach 900. Never happen. TVS will be back, would be an excellent idea by FJ. He was a good coach. Come on back, Tom.

I see quite a few nice brick homes and new SUV's over there....I think Ottoville, the town, will be just fine.
Some of the things I've read on this thread make me wonder how may thousands of brain cells have been killed by alcohol consumption over there. Geeze

Politics, you must be one of those delusional parents. We have a lot of those in Continental also. Your boys programs are bad right now and have been bad for a while. Please accept it. The good news is I know there's some talent coming up and some of those percentages should change.
Maybe TT needed to go. I don't know. I don't have a son that played for him and I don't know him.
P.S. Your boys basketball team will not make it to State next year. I hope your not thinking that you have the talent to do that.

The other coaches may be nice, but they sure aren't winning...
I'm sure if this new basketball coach comes in and posts the same winning percentages as the soccer team and the baseball team this year, he won't last for long. It's almost unfair to compare the basketball coach to the soccer coach and baseball coach.
Was everything perfect? Like Mysterio said, probably not. These things don't come out of nowhere. But were things really as bad as what people say? I doubt that too. Sure, I don't have a kid playing basketball at Ottoville right now, so I don't fully understand.
I just don't think we made a good move here...

People can over exaggerate things I get it but like I said if it's a reoccurring thing from what I hear over there and kids are just not motivated anymore and you just can't fill a team which seems like that's been the case then maybe it is time for a change. You gotta remember Ottoville is not a big town that you can just go around cutting people and do whatever you please. You gotta adjust. You gotta motivate kids in high school to play your sport otherwise they won't play. They are not getting paid to play, if anything they are paying to play your sport so if they don't feel obligated to play they won't and who's to blame them? They are kids. That's the risk you take when coaching in a small town.

I agree. The soccer team has been very successful in the past with trips to regionals on a couple of occasions. This season was pretty bad though. Hopefully it gets better soon. Not to get off topic (I'm not living in Ottoville anymore but I try to keep up as much as possible), but what good reasons were there for their struggles this season?
Motivating kids to play sports in a small town seems to be getting harder and harder. Hopefully the new coach will do exactly that, and we see enough kids to field a full team, JV and varsity.
Also, you're right. Basketball hasn't been "winning".... but .409 is better than .0167, 0.083, and 0.000.

But yes motivating kids is tough especially with what's all available out in this world these days. I think the new coach will do fine. He seems to be great with kids and like i said motivating kids in a small town is key and if you arare good with kids you got the tough part figured out.
