It is amazing that just last Wednesday that Soddy Daisy had there boys coach resign with three weeks remaining in the regualr season. With that in mind, this must have been a set up! If they have already filled the boys position, it has not even been posted within Hamilton County. Sounds like an Ooltewah scheme a year ago. NEW GYM - NEW COACH. Amazing that parents have that much control over a school. I thought it was about the kids, not the WINS!

It is amazing that parents and fans have what is called ESPN armchair coaching abilities. Everyone thinks that it is easy to coach 15-18 year olds for 4-5 months out of the year. Yet, they do not realize that they are not at practices or in the school when mommie and daddie are not around and kids make poor judgement calls. Even programs that are having success have problems on or off the court. These are kids that we are trying to teach lessons about life, not just wins and losses. Ooltewah is having success this year, yet they will struggle when they get out of their district like any other team in that district. The Cleveland's, Bradley's, and McMinn's take this sport more serious. There is more of a Community atmosphere than there is in Chattanooga. Look at the sports page on a daily basis, who do they write about the most? It definitely is not local Chattanooga teams, usually it is up Northeast of Chatt town that gets the press. Basketball is more serious there than in this town. Ooltewah and Soddy boys jobs should be good jobs, but parents interfere entirely too much! Unless a coach is harming a student/athlete, then leave the coaching to the coaches and watch your ESPN in your own home! I know more of what went on in that position than you know. It is real funny how the job came open on a Tuesday and was filled by that Friday a year ago (can you say set up?). Same thing in Soddy, Woods resigns last Wednesday and the position is filled by Thursday of the next week with two weeks to go in the regular season. How about due process? How about a job being posted for at least two weeks (oh yeah, that is written in some law is it not?)

your email was interesting and very uncalled for. If you understand High School Athletics at all, you should understand that there should be due process. Yes, Coach Woods had issues, however, less than a week later you fill it? Come on, alterer motives I think so! I suppose you would say the same about the football position and Coach Ryan. Or maybe even the Girls Coach who has been removed after this year. Is it truely the coaches or is it Soddy fair-weathered fans?

Without players and parents that want to the support the program then the coach of that program is out of a paycheck! You think the parents should sit back and just watch the program go to shambles and still support it by contributing their money?!? you are nuts and have no grip on reality! You sound like some coach that has had problems like these with a team you have coached! If you know about what has happened at soddy with coach WOOD (not woods) then you would understand why she has resigned. Now as for them having the position filled, it is my understanding that the position is not necessarily filled but will more than likely be filled by Shumate! This has nothing to do with fair-weather fans. This has to do with people that have pride in Soddy's athletics and want their kids to play for the best coach possible and with the best players that school has to offer! This has not been happening in football or basketball for a long time! By the way, Soddy is very serious about their basketball program which is exactly why they want a coach that can get better results than 4-13 (4-17 after the play Ooltewah, Cleveland, and CCS)! With the talent in that school, basketball will be getting better and they will be a region contender in 2 years!

GorillasBB: Have you ever known of a bad coach? Ever? Maybe just maybe this is the case. You are a coach and you will defend any coach against the evil parents. Are there bad parents, sure. But all of them at once? You know you might want to check the circumstances around Coach Wood's hiring, you might find them similar to what you say is happening now. From what you are saying about the process, you have a complaint with the administration, who does the hiring and firing. What parents don't know about coaching.....did you know that one of the parents on the bball team is a coach, a professional sports coach. He commented that he had never seen anything like it before. Speaking of money, where do you think your paycheck comes from, my wallet. And seeing how Hamilton Co. no longer funds athletics, we the parents have to raise it. Tens of thousands of $. Year after year after year. To keep you employed as a coach. We have tried to keep the personal issues off the board, although some have let it out and coacht deleted it, it's not a road we need to go down.
