Honky Tonk Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Coach Gum did a great job. Who is next? Can you legally recruit at CAK, since it is a private school? I know they play under TSSAA rules, but didn't know. I have heard lots of rumors about other schools doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard lots of rumors about other schools doing this. [/quot Not sure what you mean by recruit. Do you mean can you offer financial assistance regarding tuition to a student? Some private schools can do that yes. Div II schools for that matter. Lots of other private schools are accused of doing it by way of rumor. Most all private school play under TSSAA rules. Who is CAK anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrip Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Coach Gum did a great job. Who is next? Can they afford to go after Pharr, Wormsley, Howard, Buckner, or Rice? When do they move up to AAA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o21putt Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 What happened to Coach Gum? Did parents run another coach off or did he leave on his own accord? They need to find a good coach that has his years in with the publics that can take retirement and then he can afford to work there for the salary that they can pay. They have done that with football and basketball if I am not mistaken. They have a good man in the AD slot and I am sure that he will work it out to their best advantage.

Doubledrip, CAK has the money to go after any big name coach that they want as they did with Coaches Young and Darden but as voldad showed us without meaning to do so, who is CAK anyways? Why would a coach like Pharr or Wormsley or Buckner who are in good situations want to leave for a school that went 10-10 and was carried by arguably the best player in the state. Papatj, As sad as it is to say, i would think that Coach Gum's departure can be more attributed to the first of your assumptions rather than the second. It really is a shame that some people would rather look at the win-loss column instead of the character building and the life lessons that a coach can teach. I wish the best for the players at CAK but im afraid the administration, aided by some parents with well endowed checkbooks, may have just hurt the baseball program more than they helped it.

BigFly Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Can they afford to go after Pharr, Wormsley, Howard, Buckner, or Rice? When do they move up to AAA? They can afford to go after all these coaches, and you can probably add Torre and Cox to the list. One parent in particular has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on open league teams over the past 5 or 6 years. His son will be there 3 more years, so the money supply for facilities and salary will be virtually unlimited during that time. By the way, Coach Pharr is coaching this year's version of his summer team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobayashi Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Maybe some D1 college coaches would be interested to get paid these big $$'s. What about that Bearden guy..........what's his name?...........uh....Garner, maybe he will come home for the right price. Lends new meaning to AA baseball.

rcpatriot Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 kobayashi, since you are extremely familiar with CAK baseball, maybe you should enlighten everyone on what happened with Coach Gum, and who you think will be replacing him? You are probably closer to the "action" than most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
