That's why you need to send them to Caketown...:D:D :thumb:

 

NEVER:flame:

No 8th grader EVER dressed varsity for NCC girls under coach McDonald. Period.

 

You didn't read my post. There was an 8th grader who took part in Summer Camp games. When you are paying tuition and the 8th grader isn't, you are inviting a lot of trouble.

There have been several families including siblings of past players that have gone to different schools because of coach McDonald, that is the only reason that her time was up. A private school cannot aford that.

Care to count the number of players who have gone there BECAUSE of her?

To name a few decent players from out of district ther was Chiodi and Klei who now are/were both on full scholarships at great schools. Several of the best players there now went specifically because she was there. The number from St. Joseph alone offsets any of the 2 or 3 you are referring to.

One of the two you are referencing went to another school because the mother of the family physically attacked Coach McDonald after a game and there was a restraining order barring her from the school except for graduation. Are these the kind of people we are losing? No great loss there.

The other family you are referring to thought their daughter was much better than she was, as was proven when her stats declined every year from her sophomore year through her senior year.

Believe me, she brought many, many more students in than didn't attend. Brossart is beside themselves with joy knowing they will get many of the out of district students they lost to NCC because of her.

She was forced to step down because several "influencial" parents with clout and money habitually complained and the administration, unlike past administrations, did NOT have the courage to step up and defend her. It was just easier for them to knuckle under and force her out.

If the family that you are referring to is from an out of the district feeder system than you are incorrect in your statement. May they have regrets now after their daughter has moved on??? And as for Brossart being happy to get out of district student athletes, if you are referring to a school in Cold Springs than you are incorrect again. That school is one of the feeder schools for Brossart and the out of district school would be NCC.

 

Just trying to get a clearer response to your statement.:confused:

I am sure you could say that about any coach at any level. I am sure there are girls that did not go to Boone because of Coach Fookes and her style? The same holds true for Notre Dame and every school out there (boys included). You are talking about a very select few girls (or Daddys) that probably could not handle the discipline and probably did not have the heart and talent to play for Coach McDonald. Bottom line is Coach McDonald made NCC's girls program into a power house mentioned with the likes of Boone and Notre Dame. Pretty impressive for a single A school. Just look at the records and accomplishments. They speak for themselves.

 

For everyone one girl that was afraid to play for McDonald, I am sure there are 20 that went there because of her.

 

Good look Coach McDonald and feel my daughter is a better person for playing for you. You taught her more than just basketball.

To try and clarify, the first family was from within NCC's dictrict, the second was out of district for NCC. The Brossart statement refers to students from St. Joseph who Brossart continually lost to NCC because of Coach McDonald, but will now have a much better chance of keeping them in their ( Brossart's) district because she is no longer the coach. In other words more kids from St. Joe's are likely to stay within district and go to Brossart. I hope this clarifies the situation. Sory it was confusing.

Coach Dawn is a good guy and a good coach and I wish him the best of luck!!

 

HOWEVER, something just doesn't sound right:

 

Wooden, Pitino, Krzyzewski, DAWN?

 

Come on!!! Even Ron would chuckle at that comment.

Let me make this a bit clearer. In the 9th Region for High School basketball boys or girls you will not find many any better. Does that help any????

 

Ron will run the team as it should be run and the players which play for him will not only become better basketball players but also very respectiable young women when their playing days are finished.

So Coach McDonald didn't do this? I don't understand?:confused:

Did I say that Coach McDonald did not do this?? NO, what I am saying is that Coach Dawn has a proven record of doing so and should be commended for his development of young adults.

 

And as for not understanding.... you may not, but it seems to me that you are trying to read too much into things. Coach McDonald has chose to move on, so she should be respected for that decision, but attacking former players/parents for her decision is what most of this thread has been about. As a coach, I am sure she would like to be respected for what was accomplished as a coach and not blame parents for her reason of not coaching. If she feels the need to blame parents for not coaching.... well we can all hope that this is not the case.

 

I wish the best of luck to both coaches.

Who are the influential people?

Check the latest edition of NCC's quarterly news magazine about the school's expansion, look at the list of Leaders/Donors for the campaign, and connect the dots. Better yet, ask any of the seniors or their parents, they are as feed up with this whole situation as anyone.
