Playing White County Favorites?

[fastpitchnut]

Well, here is another White County softball season headed down the drain. Why you may ask? It can be said in 2 words:Head Coach. Don't get me wrong, Coach Beaty is a really nice lady, and a great basketball coach, but when it comes to softball, she just doesn' t have the know how. For one thing, it is so very obvisous that she makes sure her basketball players play, even if they aren't very good, while she has very talented, even travel ball players, sitting on the bench, because they don't play basketball. She has made the statement several times that she "looks after her basketball players" and that they will be "taken care of." Another thing, she has two very knowledgable assistant coaches, that when they are able to put the girls where they need to go, talent & ability wise, you have a team that can't be beat. Sure, nobody expects to win every game, but when you go year after year with maybe one or two wins, and those wins have to come in your JV games, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Oh, and by the way, just for your curiousity, I don't even have a girl on the team, but I love softball, and watch when I can, no matter how heatbreaking it is to see these girls suffer.

Key to the solution possibly. Have you a college degree? not Questioning your education, just asking. If so go to the board of education and take the out of school exam to be an assistant coach. After five yrs, you can become head coach, and your team can be successful, with your knowledge of softball.

Laugh and make jokes as you may. But I am just partially stating my feelings and partially stating some facts. I would love to coach these girls and as a matter of fact I have in the past on the Little League level, but the situation remains the same and I also know that this type of thing happens in all sports at some level some time or another. Just wish it didn't. Isn't the first;won't be the last.
