Shaq has done a great job with this once terrible program. He will be missed greatly. Good luck as he gets more time with his family now.

 

“Another one bites the dust” just a wonderin who these mountains folks will get to work as hard as Shaq? I am sure they could get someone out of the stands cause they know more than most coaches.......just ask them! Heck I hear this one "ole man" a talkin about hittin....they should do this....they should do that.....cant understand why the coach is a doin this.......hmmmm I wonder why he aint a coachin cause if you listen to him he knows it all......kind of like "Ole MrNoitAll" :lol:

Shaq was an excellent baseball umpire for me before he took the softball coaching job at Grundy Co. There's no doubt he did an excellent job as coach at Grundy Co. He was a little bit controversial with umpires as a coach, like some other good coaches I know. His passion for the game and players caused those problems, but we'll definitely be happy with Shaq back on the umpiring circuit and look forward to working with him as umpires. He'll be an asset to us.

Well bein a little bit controversial ain't all bad if you are takin up for your players and standin up for your beliefs. So many folks don't have the guts to stand up to folks when they are right, and if they do then they will call you call them controversial. To bad we don't have more people who are not afraid to stand up and be controversial if you ask me......which you didnt but it was free. :thumb:

Shaq will probably never get the full credit he deserves for taking the program to where it is today. This from a guy who at some times had little or no help, sometimes had a lot of help only to see it disappear and all the time had far more on his case than he deserved. He had to learn as he went from day one. He is a good guy who did a very good job and deserved a lot better treatment most of the time. He's also human and deserved some of the grief he caught and he'll be the first to tell you that.

 

Someone asked earlier if Grundy would go out and go after a top quality coach. I'd bet at least $5 that the next coach will be someone already on staff. We've never gone out and searched for a softball coach. I'm sure they won't now. Maybe there's someone on staff that can step in and do a good job. I hope so. But I would not bank on them looking outside.

 

We have serious trouble looking outside for anything. "Got to watch out for them foreigners." :):lol:

 

Thank you Shaq for all your hard work over the 9 years. You're a good guy and don't let anyone tell you different. You go pay attention to Sydney because that's what really matters. When they lay me in the ground as long as Hank says I was a good dad I don't really care what anyone else thinks. Won't take long for you to figure out that all that really matters to you is what Sydney thinks.

 

David.

    • QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
