Tennesseesportsfan Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I attended a Meigs basketball game recently and was shocked at the behavior of the fans toward the referees during the girls game. I was sitting in what I assumed was the parent section and was suprised at the lack of support for the coach. After the game I overheard parents continue to bash the coach in front of the players. Is this why Meigs has had a revolving door of coaches the past 5 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this why Meigs has had a revolving door of coaches the past 5 years? Not in any way condoning the behavior of some Meigs fans but there has NOT been a revolving door of coaches the last 5 years. The coach the previous 4 years was Jason Powell, who had to step down because of medical reasons. Please get your facts straight before you try to ruffle up feathers.

Tennesseesportsfan Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. But I know there was a young woman coach before Powell with the legendary Tommy Jewell as the asistant that was run off by the parents. Powell has had a couple of different assistants. With the coach bashing that I heard in the stands it will only be a matter of time before there is another coaching change. I know that there has been alot of changes with the boys programs as well in football, baseball, and a different assistant in boys basketball as well. Whats up with all the changes?

CHEESEFRIES Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The fans learned from the best. Jewell talked/treated officials like they were Taliban. They probably have just aimed at the coach instead of the refs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please get facts straight before posting. None of the above were run off by parents. Bottom Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
