Bullethead, i can assure you that there is no way Coach Chaffin is on here reading this crap. No coach i have ever been around cares anything about what is said on here, and they darn sure don't care what your opinion is on who ought to play. You talk about the baseball program budget like Cookeville is the only program that has a budget like that. They aren't! How do you think a baseball program runs? magic beans and pixie dust? leave money out of this because all this coach chaffin stuff isn't about money and you know that. It's about kids not playing as much as momma and daddy think they should. Coach Chaffin has not done anything wrong besides losing his cool at a booster club meeting, which he apologized for. Have you ever popped off and said something you wish you hadn't? I'll bet the house that you have. Now, lets say you pop off something you regret, do you want the person to forgive you and move on? Of course you do, so give that same courtesy to him. Its called the Golden Rule, check it out, its in a book you might have heard of, the Bible. Also, lets call it what it is, Coach Chaffin wasn't asked to resign, he was told he was going to resign by the director of schools who was being bullied by a school board member, illegally, backed by a couple unhappy parents. Here's an idea, quit hiding behind a screenname bashing a coach, and call him and set up a meeting with him and work stuff out. If your not willing to do that, then shut your mouth. I mentioned the Bible a while ago. I grew up in a God-fearing household and I learned that the Bible says if you have a problem with someone, you go to that person and work it out. You sure as heck don't get on a message board and gossip about them (gossip is another biblical no-no, by the way). If only i knew who you were, i would certainly be discussing this with you face to face, however i can't because you like to throw punches from behind a screenname. So, i've said what i wanted to say. Went from red-faced mad to laughing to smiling, and you know, through it all, I'm a Cavalier Fan. I like all of them, all 40-something players and all five coaches. I can assure you they are all pulling in the same direction. If all the parents will get on board and pull in the same direction with them, there is no telling what this year's Cavalier team could do. However, If your not willing to jump on the train, there is good news! Putnam County doesn't zone their schools, and there are two other high schools in Putnam County that play decent baseball. Take your kid to one of them, i'm sure they'd love to have him. On a lighter note, GO CAVS!
