Norman Dale Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) What you said is all that happened. Older hard nosed coaching. When you hear being investigated by the BCSD it would mislead you to something more. I figured that was the case. I think in the past, school administrators would support teachers/coaches against frivolous complaints from Mommy, Daddy, and their child. That is not the case anymore. Last year, Mark Blevins got canned at Bearden after many years of excellent service in a case where the Tennessee Department of Children's Services investigated. He is coaching & teaching this year in Alabama so whatever he did obviously couldn't have been that bad. The reputation of Bill Duncan will be forever tainted just by the very fact that he was under investigation by the Blount County Sheriff's Department, whether they press charges or not. Very sad indeed if the investigation finds out that he was nothing more than an old hard nosed coach.

strongx Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Back before everybody made a team in any sport they wanted to play (40 yrs ago), many little league coaches were known as tough and demanding. 10-20 yrs after that little league coaches were not allowed to "coach", that tough love could wait until school ball/middle school. Time passed and the middle school coaches were not allowed to drive a player, only when the kids were in high school should a coach chew a players rear end. I am sure it will or has already moved on up to high school and even to college. Gonna be strange when that 6'5" 19 yr old college freshman tears up when his college coach tells him how he sux. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandblack63 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 It is today's parents that failed to make a team that are the candy *sses pushing the participation trophy attitude down to today's youth.Another example of the liberal agenda being shoved down our throats. Hard nose coaches that hold players accountable will become a thing of the past. Liberals will force the everybody plays, everybody gets a trophy, and everybody does their own thing mentallty on everyone. As a result we are raising a generation of weak minded selfish children.
