I think 30 unanswered points in 2nd half. 22 pts in 4 the qtr alone. THEN they don't want to come to film session on Saturday morning b/c they know they're gonna get called out. I say bench them...play the underclassmen. Probably get a better effort.

Hey how many were starters. or those who saw significant playing time? I agree they should ALL be there...part of being a teammate

1) I think you do care or you wouldn't have brought it up...2) I really don't think the kids cared how many jobs he applied for be it 1 or 15...the real committed ones that went through summer workouts, those hot August mornings just wanted to play ball...if they did care, they've been through it before...longest a coach has stayed at Overton was 8 years...3) I was a tiny bit surprised that he applied so soon, but as a person who lives in the real world and as I stated before I can completely understand, from a financial standpoint...and I told him that face to face...told him I'd love to have a coach stay a while, but I understand...heck, I had 2 HC in my playing years...4) maybe those 3 parents (and I'm assuming it three individual people and not 3 sets of parents, correct me if I'm wrong) are they saying their kids said this?...are these parents of those who decided not to play?...I'd love to talk with them and really get their viewpoint...like I stated, I can fully relate to him desiring a pay increase and moving up the ladder, that is plain old human nature and four of the five levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs (Google it if you haven't heard of it, I learned it in college)... 5) he didn't get any of those jobs (though I understand he was a finalist for one) and like I stated earlier, I never saw a lack of passion in doing his job here...6) from what I understand and found out in talking to one of the players today, he only named 3 players who didn't show up Saturday for film who were starters...one of those had a funeral (oh my let's bench him) another wasn't there and they went and picked him up...one didn't come (one of those rookies) and I heard from one of the dad's that he heard that kid was home online playing video games during film session...in questioning the player I spoke with it was not the starters,other than the funeral one and the video playing one, were missing...I named off all the defensive starters and only one was not there that he could recall...should they all be, yes if at all possible and it is disrespectful, but not to the HC as much as to their teammates...7) Lastly, I don't know who you are...if you're from Overton or just an antagonist (a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something) in this situation from another town who has had the luxury of a long tenured HC...don't know if you even have as they say "a dog in this fight"...perhaps you're just expressing your opinion like me...and like all opinions everyone has them...doesn't make mine, or yours right.

Okay I will make mine very short....It doesn't look good at ANY job when you when all you do is apply for another no matter the money!

 

Why change jobs for a latteral pay scale?

 

I'm in HR at my job and we would have told him to hit the door after about #3.

Bottom line is we lost. If a kid signs up to play, then he's signed up for hot August workouts, the Saturday morning film session, the thrill of victory and the agony if defeat (yes, I used ABCs line), the butt chewings, and everything that comes with it. That's the commitment that should be made. But we get whipped a couple of games and they want to stop applying themselves. On top of that, I heard parants after the game saying they were gonna let there kids quit this week. So tell me how a parent that allows and promotes quitting is gonna blame the coach for their kids failures. Give me 20 kids with a supportive cast behind them, instead if 35 waiting to quit and blame someone else.

Well for all concerned, glad you weren't in charge....(and it's lateral, not latteral)

By far, the best and most truthful post in this thread.
