First off, Coach Leach is not going to kick someone off for "no good reason" because he is all class.

 

Do you call cussing a player out class?

Not that I think that it was handled properly but if a coach tells a player to leave practice and the player tells them, "no" and they respond to "get the blank out", I hardly consider that cussing the player out. Again, I'm not condoning what was done but surely we are not up in arms because of that?? I personally know of students saying worse than that to teachers at Greenup who got nothing more than a "write up" if that.

Just let the kids play basketball thats all they want.

I agree, but you can't let kids disrespect their coach just so they can play. They aren't at school to play basketball. It's an extracurricular activity. They don't have a right to play. If a kid doesn't follow the rules or is a problem, they don't deserve and should not be allowed to be on the team.

Let's not try to make the players sound like victims just because they don't like the coach or his style of play. How about, hey parents just let the coaches do their job. That's all they want.

I keep hearing this phrase "They just want to play." They were just playing until the Coach was questioned and a big "incident" transpired. Coach's decision is final. Move on without the player and let the other kids play.

Who said that the players did not like the coach never heard word of that. The coach would do his job if he wouldnt have QUIT!

Thank you. A reasonable person. They are losing games. That's what all of this boils down to and the parents are embarassed. He's been given half a season to completely change a system and get kids accustomed to it, and he gets run off. They want an anarchy. If they think they are better coaches, then they can apply for the new opening.

Choose your words wisely. QUIT? I doubt it. He's not going to quit over a few loses. If everyone was supportive of him like you say, I doubt he would just quit. Run off or asked to leave sounds more of a likely reason. Unless he has been offered a better position. If that is the case, then I would advise him to "get the heck out of there."

Or, perhaps he was told that he had to do some restitution for his "mishandling of the situation" and he just didn't want to agree to the terms. Greenup administration has a history of siding with kids and parents and not supporting their coaches or teachers. I have first hand experience of an incident where a student said someone said something to them that was offensive to them. This was never said and I know because I was with this person the entire time when it was supposedly said. They were given the ultimatim of giving a public apology for what they supposedly said or "suffer the consequences". Fearing that they might lose their job they apologized and compromised their pride and principles. Looking back the person in question wishes they would have made a stand for the truth rather than giving in. Maybe Leach wasn't willing to apologize if he felt he was not in the wrong?

How does the word resign sound to you? What does that mean? That means that he is giving up the position as coach. Greenup has had 3 players quit 2 others to get kicked off another attempted to be kicked off coach QUITS. What a season. Cant get much worse, only better

There is a thing called "forced resignation" where an employee is forced either formally or behind the scenes. Like 85Lived said, Greenup sides with parents and kids and doesn't support their staff. They have it backwards from every other school.

WoW!!! Glad I don't live in Greenup!:argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::rolleyes::irked::irked:

I bet Coach Hampton got a chill down his back when he heard this news. Man that could of been me!

 

 

Humpty Dumpty was push he didn't fall on his own. I say Leach was asked to resign.

I don't know what is going on there, but it does seem that the Greenup program has definately slipped in the past couple of years.

He is not the first to leave GCHS because of the lack of support from the school administration. He won't be the last either.
