Have you heard who is on the committee?

 

Gaskins Sullivan Meister jolly sapp

Is this committee made up of parents of current or former players?

Gaskins Sullivan Meister jolly sapp

 

I'm guessing that Meister is the one who made numerous complaints about varsity playing time then, as Jolly got significant minutes.

 

Unfortunately he just wasn't quick enough to get varsity minutes as a freshman imo.

 

As stated numerous times, there should be no parents of current players on the committee. I'm sure there are several alumi that would have joined the committee who have the best interest of the program in mind as opposed to what's in the best interest of a player.

Who are these folks? Which one if the parent?

Who are these folks? Which one if the parent?

 

Based on last names, I'm guessing:

Mark Gaskins - Teacher at Scott (former Carr assistant)

Andrea Sullivan - Teacher at Scott (wife of Tim Sullivan of Cooper)

Dr. Sapp - Principal at Scott

Meister - Parent (Son is currently a freshman, who played JV & sat Varsity)

Jolly - Parent (Son is currently a junior, played Varsity started 75%)

I'm not a big fan of having parents of current players on a hiring committee for a coaching position. Parents of graduating seniors or a couple classes removed I think is ok, but a current player's parents make it seem like they are hiring a babysitter instead of a coach and teacher

Your assumption maybe wrong. Heard some complaints came from starters parents whose kids got sacked at the BOK when Carr was not happy with their effort?

Is this speculation? Or, the actual committee? Could not imagine what a wrong message a committee of this make-up would be sending to all stakeholders (applicants, players, other parents, etc). Any applicant that would consider this job with that interview committee would be walking into an absolute swamp filled with snakes and alligators. To give players' parents this type of power and influence is a mistake that no competent school leadership would or should ever let happen. "The inmates would be running the asylum!"

Parents have to be on site base, which ultimately makes the hire for a coach. Is there a regulation anywhere that if schools create hiring committees that they have to have parents on them, or be set up similar to site base Committees?

Based post #249 1 parent complained numerous times that a player wasn't getting enough/any minutes on varsity.

 

The NKU ordeal was a different group complaining & perception not being reality. Unfortunately the effort or lack thereof of the top 7-8 players that night made Carrs decision easy to sit them.

 

The issue there was the parents from the other side of the floor decided Carr quit because he sat down on the bench. When in reality (I was right behind the bench), he sat down to coach the group on the floor, because every time he walked down by the top 7-8 he turned his attention to them & not the group on the floor.

I've heard same names from several different people.

First three members appear logical, knowledgeable and appropriate. The last two are current player parents. They might be outstanding people; however participation on this committee would be 100% inappropriate, conflicted with bias, and a terrible message to send to all the stakeholders.

100% agree.

 

I know there are several alumi (former players) who would have been on the committee, As they would have the long-term interest of the program in mind. Not just the next few years.

So Kenton School District is letting a couple parents decide who the next coach is? Something doesn't sound right.
