Businessmen around BSG are becoming Coaches. An insurance salesman with a child on the team is the new assistant boys basketball coach. I also heard that the manager of Little Mexico in BSG is going to be the assistant girls basketball coach. It's a shame that because you have money to give to the program you can coach. I just hope that his kid gets to start.
Manager at Little Mexico? surely that is sarcasm? Who is the insurance salesman you are discussing...The Allen fellow?
Yes the Allen guy. Nice man, nice family but this is wrong.
I agree. . . I know of two fellows who applied for the job and they are teachers. This is the same debate that has went on for months now and I agree, it sucks. Tell me that the Little Mexico thing is a joke!
Yea the Little Mexico thing is a joke, I was just trying to prove how stupid this is.
ah, its the politics of the Good Ole Boys!!!
Why do things here have to be based on how much money you have these days? I just hope this is mere coincidence but I am still tired of hearing about these money cases in Big Stone. This makes the whole community look bad.
It's not right. Why does it have to be this way?
That being said, if Coach K was to get a job somewhere in some of these local schools, there would be someone complaining that he wasn't qualified, someone else was better suited, deserved it, was promised it, etc etc.
You're never going to make everybody happy with any choice you make.
at the BC/PV game Travis Kern told me that he was hoping to get one of the jobs. He said that he didn't care which one it was boys or girls. He did say that he did know for sure that he would be helping out with baseball.
Being around it a lot, coaching around here is a thankless job. As much as I don't like Phil Robbins, look at it on here. The man has been ultra-successful, be it blind luck, skill or a combination of the 2, yet he is trashed or questioned for everything he does. It's like that or worse at nearly every other coaching job. Clintwood is among the worst, we can't seem to keep a boys basketball or a baseball coach partially due to the headaches that the people involved have to deal with. It's difficult enough with less kids putting the time/effort into athletics than previously, but you also have a crapload of parents or bleacher coaches who are sure that such and such player should be a star or such and such player shouldn't be. Honestly, I'm amazed that more schools haven't resulted to recruiting people who are interested in helping, because we know the supplement and the time required, not to mention the headaches that have to be dealt with aren't really worth it. There are very few coaches that, even if I can't stand them or think they are lacking in some qualitities, I don't respect for the work they do.
Bet I could name one! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What some need to remember. As far as i know. Even to be an assistant and be on the field during a VHSL event. You have to have your time in, and i think have your VHSL, required training.
Volunteers can help on a limited basis. But in all honestly a volunteer coach, cannot be on the sidelines, bench or in a dugout, during a regular season VHSL contest.
They have to have that affiliation with the school and have met the VHSL regulations.
It's not enforced alot. Due to equipment managers and other etc. but as far as i know, it was one of the rules of the VHSL.
Volunteers are hard to find.
And mostly at the levels you need them. The p-nut levels upward to teach the kids the fundamentals.
Most of the time parents serve here until their child is through the program and it ends.
One thing i can say that PV has done, they have had coaches in their P-nut programs that have been there for years, and that success has shown with a good feeder program, for their JV and Varsity programs.
