Bottom Line Buster Taylor would roll over in his grave if he knew how the kids in BSG where treated over a field and program that he lived for and Kelley ruined. Or better yet reaped the benefits of... Rest in peace Buster..u R deeply missed.

I always liked Buster and had alot of respect for him. You never had to wonder what he was thinking, because he sure as heck didn't mind telling you (alot like me-my type of character to deal with). He was respected around the LPD not just as a good baseball man (which he was), but as a good human being as well (this coming from a Kelly fan). It was a sad day for me when I heard of his passing (as I'm sure it was for many more folks than just me)

Um someone needs a chill pill.

Go to the schools athletic director and ask them about the qualifications. And you can always go to the school board about the appointments made if your that upset about it. Or so could the person you want as a coach.

I always thought it was a great little happy family at the avenue of use to be champions....... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

And yeah im just kidding so don't go irate. Seems like you have already done that a few times on here.

Just some additional info... if it helps.

From the VHSL Handbook:
27-2-3 (3) COACHES RULE/Interpretation ? A VHSL registered coach is one who (1) through
a special request by the school principal and division superintendent has been registered with
the VHSL Executive Director for one sport season, (2) has been apprised of the VHSL rules
pertaining to the specific sport/activity; and (3) has full coaching status as determined by the
local school board. A volunteer coach is one who (1) does not meet any of the VHSL Coaches
Rule criteria, (2) is not registered with VHSL, (3) is not allowed to be on the team bench,
sidelines, in the press box, in the locker room or involved in any way during any VHSL contest
and (4) is allowed to help the coach or team during practice sessions.

I'm digging through the Wise County Policy Handbook for local info, but the format isn't conducive to a quick search.

The VHSL handbook pretty much sums it up. Once it is in question it is up to the VHSL to make a decision. And their decision will more than likely not suit most.
Because most would not like the idea of not having a say so. We have a lot of asst. volunteer coaches who in reality have no say so according to the VHSL rules, esp. during a real varsity game or as i think a JV game.
Which is up to how the rule is applied at the JV level.

yeah really I know you are new here but 90% of us, especially those with over 500 posts are generally VERY laid back, no need to come on here all hyper and all. But its good to get so more baseball knowledge around here.

I"m sorry if i offended anyone. But it really bothers me to see politics play in when it involves kids. i'll take a chill pill. My viking Pride will last longer than the pain.

You didn't offend anyone. Everyone has been there at some point.
Yeah we will take all the baseball knowledge we can get. It's very limited on here.
Some need some other things to help them to chill. But i won't go there.
I was just pointing out don't get upset. It's Wise Co. politics has taken over the last few years or so. Even now at the lower levels in our schools.
I was just passing on some information, so you would have some where to go.
I wish i was as good as some thought they were. I could sell myself and be rich............. :grin

To answer the question "Do coaches have to be employed by the school system?" to be allowed to coach, the answer is no. However all coaching positions have to be recommended by the school principal to the school board, and then each coach(paid, volunteer, etc.) has to be approved by the board.

Lack of "qualified" coaches is becoming a serious problem all across the nation. Too much liability, too much aggravation, too much time involved for most folks.
