Why are players required to ride on team bus but Head Coach Don't

Recommended Posts

I've been coaching a long time. I've known coaches who do and who do not. I have also known girls and boys head coaches where the girls coach rides the bus to the games and the boys coach drives, and they switch on the way back.

 

I've got a mentor that I look up to. He coached softball in Ky for 20+ years has multiple state titles in slow pitch and fast pitch, has won over 650 games. He always made his players ride back from games, because it gives the players and parents time to cool off after a loss or if they feel their child has been wronged. I have never really thought of it that way until we discussed it one day, and when I become a head coach I will have that rule because it makes a lot of sense. Plus the team should be there for each other, whether it is after a win or a loss.

Because he/she is the head coach and as long as an assistant is on the bus its OK. HC might be meeting after game to exchange film, meet another coach to talk about next opponent, what to do to get better, go to hospital to check on a player that was injured,etc. There is other things to do in a program, thats why you hire great assistants. Sounds like a parent that is not happy for some reason and wants to point fingers. That's why coaches don't want to coach anymore. I bet you have never ask the coach for a reason why he/she is not on the bus!!!! Instead we come straight to coacht!!!!!! ;)

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
