March 31, 201610 yr I do not hide who I am and I speak only of my experience; not of, or for anyone else. Our decision to transfer was complex and we need not justify it to anyone. The post by ‘Guest’ generated a series of texts to our daughter asking why we were posting her comments when we did not. We still have many friends, both students and parents at Conner, some of whom are on the current team. Your assumption that we left because we had a problem with the coach is not entirely accurate, nor is your assumption regarding my daughters’ early start or playing time, or that I broadly condemn your alma mata. I hope that we can agree, Clyde, that the focus here should be on helping the players, who are the innocent bystanders, to get back on the field quickly to finish their season. We do agree on the focus. We will not agree as to how your post was perceived. It painted the prior teammates as poor teammates and it painted Conner as uniquely having drama as well as Conner not having strong enough academics. All are incorrect. All are happy for your daughters' success and happiness.

March 31, 201610 yr A bruise on the hip and all hell breaks loose. It's turning into a big show. This player doesn't take any of blame! Always looking for someone else to blame.
March 31, 201610 yr Author Two candidates for the coaching job I can think off...... Jim Hicks Conner boys basketball head coach (daughter plays on the team) Shawn Sproles Highlands JV head coach (coaches some of the Conner girls on the NKY Stealers)

March 31, 201610 yr Two candidates for the coaching job I can think off...... Jim Hicks Conner boys basketball head coach (daughter plays on the team) Shawn Sproles Highlands JV head coach (coaches some of the Conner girls on the NKY Stealers) I wonder with the coaching job open if it will pull coach Sproles away from highlands. Or if you bring a parent in like Chris Crawford. I don't think Jim would want to do it. But like I said earlier Sproles would be a good fit!
March 31, 201610 yr Good to hear that Jim Hicks and Aaron Stamm will be stepping in to serve as coaches while the permanent replacement is being found. Practice resumes Monday. Time to play ball.

April 1, 201610 yr I would hope Jim doesn't put up with ANY :poop: As an interm coach will the powers that be allow him to even discipline problem players? I doubt given all the drama already that he will have the authority to release anyone. I hope the bad apples don't take this as an opportunity to treat him like a substitute teacher thinking they have unlimited power now. If they strip him of authority this could get ugly.

I think Coach Hicks will be a fine stand in....I don't see ANY of this happening.
April 1, 201610 yr If he's already a coach at the school, I think he'll have some, if not all, authoritative powers.
