February 13, 201412 yr Pete Coleman is very immature and he claims to be a youth leader. He is far from it. Went after a Conner player during football season because his grapes got soured. Guy needs to grow up. #notgoodforourkids I saw that tweet you're referring to and his use of elite in quotes. Just pump up your own guy and not take thinly-veiled shots at high school kids.

February 14, 201412 yr If a kid has a slight ankle sprain or a small cut on his forehead or arm, for instance, you can cheer all you want because your team is doing well or it has regained possesssion of the ball but not because of the injury. You never cheer for an injury per se. If a kid is writhing on the floor, is knocked out and/or has an extremity protruding at an unnatural angle, et cetera, you shut the heck up, and you cheer him when he leaves the court. I recognize that it may be difficult to determne the severity of an injury or if kid is faking it, but if you are in doubt, shut up.

While I enjoy listening to the CCH cheer group, they still need to learn a "respect " concept. It may be petty, but it irked me to see the kids standing on the players cushioned seats during some of their chants between timeouts. First time any schools cheering section has done such a thing in the Cooper gym. The chairs are meant for seats for the players, not a show stage! Goes back to a previous statement I made about kids being raised to respect someone else's home. We don't bring food in your home, so don't put your feet in our cushioned seats!

Yes, that is petty. My comment about the cheering that happened is this: As described it was a hard (but clean) screen that knocked the kid loopy- which then led to a two point basket, at which point the students cheering hit a high note. The ref stopped play while the Cooper kid was attended to- frankly for me, it was hard to tell what was going on for 5-10 seconds after the basket as I was following the rest of the play, not what happened to the kid after the screen. The cheering died way down after 10 seconds or so once the students also realized the kid was down- then all clapped for the young man as he was helped up. Lastly- I think its pitiful that a full grown adult - and worse, an adult in a position at a school where he must interact with young adults- is so insecure and thin skinned that he feels he must get on social media and take digs at other students. The dude has issues.
February 15, 201412 yr I think we are too quick to jump to the "kids weren't raised right" conclusion when kids act like kids. You say being raised "right", I say being raised to show some respect regardless of where you are at. I don't care if you're 6 or 16. it's something kids aren't showing these days, and it starts in the home.

I don't think that it is petty at all to expect students not to stand on chairs that don't belong to them. Why do I think this? Well, I was raised that doing so is inappropriate unless you are in single digits years of age. I don't stand in chairs at my own home. I certainly wouldn't do it at someone else's home.
February 15, 201412 yr To mod T/B and Fan, Did either of you know, that the AD of Cooper called CovCath the next day and congratulated the CovCath administration on the way the CovCath cheering section handled themselves at Cooper. I doubt it!

They also stood on the - gasp!- bleachers! At a GYM no less!

I doubt it! That still doesn't make standing in chairs acceptable. They were fine beyond the standing in the chairs. I'm surprised the Cooper AD allowed it simply because of a risk of falling or tearing up the cushions.

I doubt it! Does "the boss" stand on chairs in your house? Would she go to someone else's house and do so?
February 15, 201412 yr They also stood on the - gasp!- bleachers! At a GYM no less! The bleachers is where every normal cheering group remains. No need to upstage in the players chairs. I'm just saying it's not acceptable in most peoples homes/gyms. How many cheering sections have come into your gym and stood in the players chairs. Don't make this out of a back and forth issue, I'm just saying that standing in those chairs was inappropriate. If you feel it's ok for your kids to behave in that manner, good for you. I just fell differently and our kids feet will remain on the ground where they're meant to be. Edited February 15, 201412 yr by FanofMany33
