October 22, 200719 yr So, any team that does not win, it is because the coaches and administrators didn't do a good enough job? We are back to the public school coaches don't work hard enough argument, huh? And that is the biggest load of crap that has been put forth in this argument. If a team goes to state with 3 starters over 6'5" and a few years later they do not go to state with no starter over 6'2", is that the coaches fault? If it is not coaches and administrators, how do explain programs having a period of success under one coach and after the coach leaves, that level success going away???? The good coaches always maintain a certain level of success, maybe a lapse here and there, but they return to that level because they are doing things the right way.

And Absolutely, sometimes it is not. You cannot make a blanket statement that the ONLY reason why a program is not successful is the lack of effort and work by administration and staff. Sometimes it is talent. I had a principal who had a favorite saying, "Can't make chicken salad from chicken poop." The state of KY says EVERY STUDENT in the state should be proficient at sometime in the future. Are you of the mindset that every single student in the state of KY should reach proficient level of learning and if they do not, it is the teacher's/principal's fault for not working hard enough? That is irregardless of what view their parents have on education? Irregardless on whether they do homework or not. Irregardless if they live in a meth lab or not. Irregardless on their abilities.

Education is different than sports; kids choose to participate in sports, whereas every kid has to go to school. Also if a kid doesn't want to do what is required of him to thrive in his sport, then he can be cut.
