Coach Spann is out after 7 years...

[sball23]

What happen? Fired or did he resign?

[allaroundsports]

Retired ...

Pool for this job will be slim due to the religious factor. There are a few candidates out there they can go after. Will be interesting to see what they do.

He was fired and parents with spoiled kids got thier way! Not only did they fire him from basketball they fired him from teaching!! He may have not got the job done in basketball but he was so much more of a influence in the classroom. He taught Bible and he was a great great role model. Its sad that a few parents don't like the fact thier athletes don't want to do what it takes to win. But life goes on and I am praying a good coach comes in and those players and parents whose kids are not as good as you think actually have to work to get better. A good coach won't put up with your demands and your little precious princess will have to earn it.

He was a nice and respected man. They talent there has dropped significantly. Wish him all the best.

 

I wonder if the one mom who yells at her daughter every game had a role in this? Seemed odd that she was so vocal?

I'm sure everyone who watched Goodpasture girls play this year could tell who it is that voiced thier opinion. The only player who never passed the ball and shot about 30 shots a game, only to hit about 10% of her shots. Its very upsetting that it ended the way it did. I hope Coach Spann knows that their were people behind him. Coach Spann record speaks for itself. One bad season don't define a coach. And Goodpasture sought him out from Ezell and he got the girls program there back to winning, and this is how he is repaid!

Ouch! Upset much?  I'm sure Spann will get picked up by another private sooner or later.

Any names yet to take over? Any BB talent there to work with?

I think Lynn Dearing (Volleyball Coach) has agreed to take over on an interim basis for next year.  Most of the talent is in the 7-8th grade. Next year will be difficult.

She's a much better coach than her husband. : ) They don't have a lot of talent and will struggle for a few years being competitive unless they get some transfers. The schools they compete with for student athletes have more talent compared to their 7,8,9th grades. Hiring the right coach could be a huge benefit. Good luck to her!

I saw them play and they are very well coached. Once she gets a little more talent they will improve greatly in the wins column. I was told they have some talent in the lower school so the future looks brught.

 

Also, I've seen Watertown and TC play. Coach Price does an excellent job at WHS and seems to always have a big with size and great fundamentals.

 

TC, IMO, is about even with GP but a notch below WHS. TC also has a big post but not enough to handle WHS.

 

Price and Deering are quality coaches and maximize their talent. They have a game Tuesday at GP that should be a fun one to watch.

 

Anyone see the other district teams?
