That's it? Sounds like an absolute joke to me. As it has been said on the forum many times by others, though, this is truly the nation of the offended. If that's really all he ever did, the man didn't deserve to lose his job, that's for sure.
The most that was ever reported was that he cussed and told his players to get their helmets on while on the sidelines. They were getting creamed and all the while they were goofing off on the sidelines. He just went off and some parents got a coalition together to have him fired. I know Mr. Noe as well...and I'd say as far as having any power vs. the community powers that be over there, he prolly has very little.
...And if you ain't down with that, I got 2 words for ya....

Officially retired
It was all over the news and newspapers about 2 seasons ago. The guy came from a college program to Abingdon..and then got demoted and assumed the PE job at the middle school where JSB kids go...at the end of the year, he resigned and left the area as far as I know.

if there are 10th graders on a j.v.team they deserve not to play anyway if you ask me!

You run into all kinds of problems when you keep 10th graders on the jv team. In all honesty if the kid is not maturing yet and they are in the 10th grade the coaching staff may need to consider cutting them or allowing them to ride the pine on the VARSITY SQUAD.
Will you ever rise up and fight for your God-given rights? History shows that evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
Outside of the area we live in, it is common to see 10th graders on a JV roster. If the kid is weak and has no chance to see a varsity field, I don't see a problem with developing them in JV. I've seen 10th graders on JV teams in the LPD as well...and it's common for all teams in the Cumberland.

In Tennessee, they generally call it B teams instead of JV, and you will see JRs on the team as well if they aren't up to varstiy snuff so to speak. Especially in basketball.

We always experienced this with Dobyns Bennett and their softball team.

Abingdon was about his 12th job in 20 years. It seems like he wasn't doing his job right anywhere. Our crew worked a few of his games and we all thought that he was crazy. He didn't know high school rules and wanted to bring college mechanics of a seven man crew into a 5 man crew game.
Abingdon has a good coach now. He just couldn't beat DB.
Does the school board know that the VHSL allows 8th graders to play on the jv teams. What would they do if an 8th grader sues because they aren't playing by the VHSL rules? The school board better think about that and stop trying to make everyone happy. I was told that the man who did all of the complaining last year because his son was in the 9th grade and had an 8th grader playing in front of him. What wasn't told was that as an 8th grader, he played in front of a 9th grader the year before.
