This post really upsets me! What exactly did the head coach do wrong? Were the girls crying at the end of season because they lost their final game, or was their coach being vulgar or abusive in some way? You have not given any concrete reasons that this coach is doing a bad job. I believe running a one day camp was decided because of low attendance due to the fact that many softball players are playing travel ball. Is this true? Was the summer league that you are currently volunteering handed over to you by the previous coach? What effort has been made to keep up with the high school team or have you deided to go your own way with that team? When the previous and current head coach of the highschool team formed that travel summer team, what was its purpose and is it still being used for that purpose?
This coach has had nothing but good evaluations and has done a great job in the classroom, the coaurt and the field, dedicating his time with many of our students and our athletes. It saddens me to think that this non issue has now wasted school board time when the focus should be on a dropping graduation rate, failling students, low Prairie State exams, discipline problems, students using drugs, the list goes on.
Instead you are slandering a college educated professional who has worked tirelessly to EARN his position! This head caoch has an undergrduate degree, a masters degree and is a certified coach. He is very knowledgeable with the sports he coaches and has always been an very upstanding man!
I hope that you take a long look at what you are and have done not only to a wonderful coach, but the position that you will put others in as they choose sides. I hope this is not a grudgery against him because you feel that one of your friends should have gotten the job. That would truly be a travesty of injustice!
