Silent1, let me ask you a question. How many hours of practice have you evaluated these players. Just because a player has success in little league does not mean he will have success at a higher level. High school coaches are going to put the 9 players on the field that give them the best opportunity to win games, period. This is not a Daddy Ball league. I have been a high school baseball coach for 20+ years, and have been fortunate enough to win a few ball games along the way. I have Coached against Coach Floyd and know that he is a quality baseball coach and more importantly a quality man. You guys are very fortunate to have him Be careful, what you wish for. You run Coach Floyd off, there will be very few coaches knocking down the door to coach at White County.

With all the bickering and arguing that we do in Grundy, unfortunately, things are not going to change until we get out of each others way. We want to see this person fail, or bad mouth this person, or set up as many obstacles to keep someone from having success as we can. If we would quit all the name calling and blaming and just look in the mirror, we would realize we are our biggest problem. I am not pro Tate or pro Bryants or pro any person, I am pro Grundy. I thought it was silly when Coach Bryant was let go and I think it would be just as dumb to let Coach Tate go. They are both young coaches who will make mistakes, but if allowed to grow would both make very good coaches. It is very easy for a person that has never coached above a pee wee level to sit back and think they know much more than they do. If the community would get behind the school and the programs that our kids represent, we could have tremendous success. However, as long as we want to point fingers and not proactively become part of the solution, things will remain the same.
