Is it reasonable for a program to expect the coach to be in charge of fund raising?

None of you (except Just Jim) have a clue as to what you are talking about. If your kid actually goes to St Henry and you want to know what is going on, go to a meeting and find out. I am sick and tired of the "they only care about" argument because it is ridiculous.

 

You have the platform here. Fill all of us in on what is going on.

FYI Colcru13: I did have a student that went there and played for many years!!! I watched very closely and made very good notes. My comments are fact and stand as is!! More facts: Otte has NEVER been to game in 5 years and NEVER showed up for the end of the year banquets. Really? Very sad!!!

Otte and Grau has let a once great baseball program go! Why? I have NO clue. I'm sick and tired of seeing coaches roll in and out of St H. That's clearly an AD and Admin issue. I am standing up for the kids/young men that believe in this program. My son went through so many coaches that its not even funny. This is high school, not little league folks. The young men deserve better than this. This program could be a great platform for these kids to advance to a higher level / college. Now, it's a laughing freaking stock in the HS baseball community. You cannot challenge this statement. Until someone gets their head out of their behind it will always be this way. Support me or not, I speak for the Seniors and incoming kids.

Yes it is. There should be help from the AD but the coach runs fund raising for their respective team.

News flash: There isn't one principal who goes to any games other than regional semis, finals. There are only two AD's I know of that go to regular season games and they are at Dixie an Cooper. That's only a handful of games at that. If I'm wrong please correct me. After basketball, most are done.

Not true for all principals and ADs.

sweet16 and deevh: 1. how can a coach run a program when they first step into a first year program? Its takes years to get a solid program under control. 2. As I've stated before: In over 5 years and many banquets, I've never seen the St H principal / Mr Otte there.

You need support from parents, community, and the administration.

What if it truly is not their strength? Does this need to be taken into account when hiring?

Then they need to get someone to help them that can do that.

It's not all on the coach to do fundraising. It's on the coach to organize the fundraising. It falls on the parents and players to participate and make something of the fundraising.

I would imagine Sanders, Gray, Sawyers, Bieger, Dixie and Scott's freshman coaches and Hill from NCC will apply.

Others?

It sounds like kywonder has an issue with the administration at St. Henry. The administration isnt the reason the coach left. Or the coach before him or the coach before him. Or the coach before him.
