Seems to me the new coach wanted to bring in his own guy, Vince Carter Sr. to be an assistant this why you probably so the others leave.

 

Possibly. I just took a new job myself and brought my top assistant with me, but every assistant on the previous staff had the choice to stay or go and they all chose to stay. I realize each situation is different and each coach has his own preferences. I like having at least 1 or more guys who are familiar with the present players, administration, parents, situation etc...

No, it's because some assistants who wanted the head job went to other district schools where they were being recruited. In the short term, they felt more welcome at places where they weren't passed over.

At least one of them would have left anyway if the other got the job. No surprise either way. I heard this had something to do with the decision to look outside the box.

Usually you do not want to be the guy who replaces a legend. It VERY rarely works out well. Ask every football coach after  Carlton Flatt at BA.  Heck ask Hatley what it was like replacing King the first time he gave it up.

any head coach in this kind of situation should be allowed to bring in their own people. having someone on staff that feels they should have had the job is chaos waiting to happen...maybe this would have been different but it has been my experience that it very rarely works...too much animosity.

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
