Really????

No not really but I wouldn't say it anyway. Some may take it that way

The softball parents (some of them) are no different than some of the basketball parents. Just because Little Sally isn't playing, a parent goes ballistic. Walton lost a lot from graduation and it has taken a whole for this years team to come together. They are beginning to show some consistency and have made great strides since day one. There is one parent who has tried to undermine the team process and he has tried to drag others into it. Coach Anderson and his staff work hard at what they do and put the best 9 on the field. What I see as the problem is that the AD needs to grow a pair and deal with the problem parent(s) when issues first arise and not let it fester into a problematic situation. He needs to support the coaching staff and put the parents in their place. However, I don't see this happening based on past experiences. I guess softball is no different than basketball, let the crazies run the asylum!!'! I feel for the girls and coaches because they are working so hard. It's a shame that some parents want to ruin everything just because they aren't pleased because their daughter isn't playing. Walton's athletic programs are becoming a joke and the parents are the main reason!

Understatement.

If you were a little more informed then you would know that the coaches are not the AD's responsibility -- that is the job of the Principle. The ironic thing is.....the majority of the problems are caused by Coach Anderson's brother and sister-in-law. They are simple a mess. There is one other family/father that is causing problems and he simply is uneducated and has no idea what he is talking about.

 

The other sad thing is......someone from either WV High School or the WV Athletic Department feels the need to share things with Lawnboy. I'm sure Lawnboy is a nice guy but this kind of stuff does not need to be shared with anyone. My guess is....shame on the Athletic Director for sharing the dirty laundry.

 

As for One4One.........:deadhorse: You're dragging the family name down.

I understand that the AD and administration supported the coaching staff and they told the parents the same thing. I'm pleasantly surprised!! Now let's see if they back it up and deal with those who continue to stir the pot.

My guess is....shame on the Athletic Director for sharing the dirty laundry.

 

 

99.9% sure you just nailed the wrong person.

If you think Lawnboy is the only person getting info on these type of things you are mistaken. Lawnboy just happened to post it. I think things like this should be aired out, If I was a parent in that school district I would want to know.

WOW! What little bit do you know. The AD and the principal conducted the meetings and yes, he does have some authority over the coaches. Also, it is not Coach Anderson's brother and sister-in-law who are the problem makers. It is the parent who acted like a fool at North Oldham. Going on the field and challenging Coach Anderson is a real problem. He was way out of line and is instigating all of this stuff. Additionally, if you think Coach Anderson's father has no idea what he is talking about, then I have to laugh at you. You really don't know how much experience he has with fast pitch and I find it comical that you made that statement. He has forgot more about the game than you will ever know!!!

In response to who told who, it doesn't really matter. Nothing is a secret at Walton. People talk but no one takes responsibility for what us said.

Boy, did you totally get it wrong. He was referring to another family/father causing problems, NOT Coach Andreson's father.

You got one thing right....I am a really nice guy.

 

I'm not going to disagree with your opinion, however it would only be a matter of time before all this would have been public knowledge.

 

99.9% sure you just nailed the wrong person.

 

Correct.

Correct.

So what was the outcome of the meeting?

I hope I got it wrong because if he was talking about George he is so wrong. And yes, I know about the other father as referenced in one of my previous posts.

Coach Anderson knows what he is doing, and I agree 100%, the best 9 play the field (no if's and's or but's). Some of these parents don't take into consideration all the time the majority of coaches put into teaching the game. Also they are not there to see what takes place at practice's, who knows, maybe "little Suzi" screws-off or doesn't not huslte and thus her lack of playing time.

 

Any issue that involves "problem parents" needs to be addressed ASAP, and can't be swept under the carpet.

So what was the outcome of the meeting?

 

My source got a sudden case of "lock jaw". :lol2:

 

Will have to wait till tomorrow, realized about an hour ago my phone was turned off and missed the call. :banghead:
