Well when various kids get bitched out after every sporting event for possibly saying something that might make somebody feel bad but our payed adults aren't being held to the same standards as our children, yes folks children, I would say there is a problem from the top all the way down to the ad herself. I would say we're paying adults to bully our kids instead of coach and lead them. When kids who love the game of basketball would rather sit the bench then play for a coach, you know there's something wrong. Kids play better for coaches that are positive and that they look up to.

Spot on’  he may be a good coach but he's also a bully,  no one is saying he doesn’t know basketball, but when the kids come to us as parents and say they don’t want to play for him and they are afraid to make a mistake in fear of retribution or worse told to sit down on the bench it’s time to step in and correct the issue.

We all know the school isn’t, the AD needs to step up and take charge.  That’s what she paid to do!   Us as parents talk about bully’s and the effect it has on kids, yet we let it happen right in front of us.. I just don’t get it????  At this time in their lives they need a role model not a bully.

It’s too late in the season to do anything, and he’s knows he’s under a microscope, so he’s on his best behavior, I don’t see that lasting long, we need to ensure he doesn’t return next year..
