snuffy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I was embarrassed for the town of Jarrell for the way their coach acted yesterday on the sidelines...I understand trying to light a fire under your team to spark a comeback or whatever but that was just flat awful. I am all about having a disciplined team but his over the top antics was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle8 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I was at my nephew's baseball game so I didn't get to go, I didn't get to see his outbursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevilTransfer Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I did see at the end when he felt the kid he told to check in wasn't enthused enough about getting in the game so he yelled at him and then lead him to the scorers table and showed him how to check in. Spent half his timeout doing this. Of course by this time game was pretty much over and he was taking out his frustrations on this kid. It's one thing to be intense on the sideline but another to humiliate your players. He would benefit from counseling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOldJR Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I guess his terrible antics worked out ok for them considering they made it to the Regional Tournament and won their district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I dunno which I would rather of had... A coach yelling and stomping or a coach with Eminem's hair. Oh district 22-2A, you're weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacegolfer Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I do not care for coaches who uses these types of motivation for their players. It is counterproductive and demeaning to the student/player. Poor example for the school to have as a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootleg Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Jarrell's basketball coach is also their athletic director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfacujackcat Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I thought his argument was legitimate about the push off. That really killed their comeback attempt. Got to prove your point to the officials. But by then, they had been beaten to death by Tatum. Fouls were 10-3 at one point in 1st half and could've been much higher on Tatum's side. That's simply the way they play. But his kids were getting beaten and hacked to death. Had to try and do something. I saw him lead the kid to the scorer's table when he didn't go to the right place to check in. Kid migh not've known where to go or was just trying to hurry up into the game. I was on the other side of the floor, so wasn't able to see what he said or how he said it. I thought the way Jarrell played had a lot to do with how Tatum played today against White Oak. Jarrell gave Tatum all they could handle and more and I think it showed today. Eagles just came out flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natex23fan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I suppose some of you had rather have a coach who would sit and twiddle his thumbs while his team gets a raw deal from an official or is not playing up to their usual standards. I'll take a coach with some fire in his belly over a laid back clown any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefRedCloud Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You do not have to be loud and agressive to be a good coach. It is all about motivating and there are lots of ways to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachc45 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You do not have to be loud and agressive to be a good coach. It is all about motivating and there are lots of ways to do that. You are correct..... and one of those ways is to be loud and aggressive. Each team is different and respond in different ways. I will give the benefit of the doubt to the coach, he knows his team way better than y'all know it. Not saying he is right or wrong, but I ain't one to watch a guy coach his team and decide if he's any good or not because of his tone of voice. I prefer to watch how they play. Seems they made it to the Regional semi's so something must be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So judge them on results not what you think they should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natex23fan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 A coach has to be himself or his players will see right through him. If his personality is that he is loud and aggressive, his players expect that and adjust to it. They also respect him for being himself. I have never known a player who had any respect for a coach he thought was being a phoney. I coached for many years and I got into trouble at times for being myself but my players knew I was genuine and respected me for being myself. They also played hard for me and I think I lost one player in 27 years because he was too sensitive to adjust to my coaching style. I respect anyone for being who they are and have no use for anyone who tries to be something they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootleg Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Coach Sumner is as nice of a person as you can find. So what if he gets a little fired up in the heat of a regional semi-final basketball game...he's a competitor who has been EXTREMELY successful at Jarrell over the last 20+ years. Everyone coaches differently. His antics may have been a little "over the top," but you could say the same for Tatum and White Oak coaches for beating district opponents by 70+ points.

So judge them on results not what you think they should do. I guess that would be like a "perfect family" watching a ballgame and all kindS of abuse takes place at home. But it's okay as long as they perform and act like they are supposed to at the game. Whatever it takes to get results. FAIL! Some behavior by coaches are just not acceptable. I am not saying Jarrell's coach is this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coach got a little over the top, or maybe he didn't, But it is a pretty BIG LEAP from a coach coaching hard and an Abusive home!!! TOO FAR SPACEGOLPHER!!!!

I never said anything about coaching too hard. My example does not apply to most coaches. Use a little common sense when reading. But yes the analogy does apply to some coaches and players.

Sure coaches are normal people. That is why my statement does apply. I have seen coaches go too far and yes it would constitute abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
