Well what all of us locals done knew, it's now became official. The Dekalb County Tigers head baseball coach, Tracy Sloan, was relieved of his teaching and coaching duties today. He will not return to the school in any form or manner next calendar year.

 

I'm extremely glad the administration has decided to part ways with CTS after the conclusion of this years 2016 season. There is nothing worse than a lame duck coach, and that's especially true at the college and pro levels in any sport. IMO, there just wasn't any reason in delaying in the inevitable, so kudos to the people in power that made this move.

 

In a mediocre 3 year run as coach, Tracy lead the Tigers to a 53-50 overall record. He was 26-16 in district play, and 8-7 in the post season. I will be the first to say that Coach Sloan is a good man, but he's a slightly below average baseball coach. He squandered and wasted a ton of very good talent over his three years. We should of been competing for district and region titles during his run, not fighting to remain a game over .500.

like always....CM and UHS at the top and will battle it out in the districts

No, not like always, not quite. I know that DC slipped recently under Sloan, but we use to just about always be in contention for a district title. They typically stayed in the top 3 under Odom. It use to be UHS, DC, and LA would battle it out for the top spot year in and year out.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
