talent alone doesnt win sh1t. we see it every year. look at every sport, if you cant control and shape talent it means absolutely nothing.
phil has seven friggin rings. SEVEN. so you are telling me a terrible coach can still somehow win SEVEN state titles? you are either completely blinded by moron, or just stupid.
largest senior class, what the heck does that count for? if kids dont play or cant play, thats not a coachs fault.
so phil will keep winning district titles, when being LESS talented than two, arguably three district teams.
people can call phil whatever they want, but they CANNOT call him a bad coach, unless they allow people to consider them absolutely clueless. clueless.
Phil has won a ton, but he also is normally going into a knife fight with a gun most years. His ego costs him and has probably cost him another couple rings. It's definitely appeared at least to be a case of the inmates running the asylum there the last several years, that and a bit of overhyping teams and/or players.
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.
Nick Colobro was a terrible coach? Care to elaborate?
im sorry but i dont agree at all
people always seem to try and argue that, everbody makes mistakes, these are kids who deserve second chances. when someone goes too far, they go. phil has proved that.
i also dont see how PV has drastically underperformed. pv has made the playoffs every year since 1991. lpd titles, region titles, state appearance in 04, and add 7 state titles, i have a hard time buying phil's ego has cost him a great number of games
I think you said some of it yourself, if kids don't play. A lot don't play because of him. Phil is sort of Kilmer from Varsity Blues. He thinks of Phil first, and the kids last. Again, most years, Powell Valley is going to be one of the bigger dogs around. And yes, the players deserve a crap load of credit for not giving up this year, if you want to give him credit for keeping them there, that's fine, but not to down a player, but didn't PV start winning more after they stopped trying to force a player to succeed? At least once they were off the team. That's not downing the player either, that's the coach trying his hardest to prove he knows more. That's been what Phil's issue has been at least IMO. I think it may just be to the point where he has nobody on staff that will disagree.
