I have been around the program for a long time. I'm not the only one who feels like this because a lot of people know what's going on. Remember, I'm not the one who brought this up. With the talent at GC, a lot of coaches could have done as well and quite possibly better.

Thats an easy statement to say from the bleachers. Greg is a great coach, and has done great things for gc baseball and the facilities at GC.

What a lot of people forget or tend to overlook, is that Coach Logan has spent many hours in the summer, with these players over the years. Reaching the final 8, is an outstanding accomplishment and many, would like to experience.

 

As parents, we don't have to like a Coach, his style of play or personality but results on the field, are a direct correlation of someone developing the players to reach their potential.

 

Like I said before, coaching your own son is a tremendous and unfair burden, for many.

They are parents first so I don't have a problem with it at all.

Surely no one is complaining that a coach leaves when his son goes on to play college baseball. If so, you need to ask yourself who is being selfish.

Or daughter.

Some coaches inform their employer from day one that they will resign when their child graduates. When schools continue to hire parents to coach and then pay very little for these coaches, this is to be expected.

 

Yep. Although it is disappointing to see coaches leave due to this.

I overlooked absolutely none of that! He was everywhere BUT Greenup this summer. Find out about that for yourselves.

 

I'll say nothing about his actions at the Legion State tournament. It's everyone elses fault that he could only get 10 players, when the rules state you need 12 players. Hmm...where were all of those high school players? Something else you can find out for yourselves.

 

As far as the burden, don't take the job if you can't handle the heat from it. If your kid as good as you think, there will be no problem, as long as you treat them like everyone else.

You cant just make a few statements like that and not explain. If you dont want to go into on here. PM me and let me know what is going on.

That could be entirely false. Maybe a guy or gal wants to help their own kid, as well as the school? They coach their pants off for several years. Then they realize, that either A. Without their kid there they just don't feel like they can dedicate their time and effort like they were willing to in the past. or B. They want to watch their kid play at the next level, or spend time with other younger kids they have.

 

I do have to say that watching this thread since it has been up is nothing but a reminder as to why it is hard to find coaches anymore. Take a look at the thread, people don't expect coaches to be selfish for their own kid, yet people want to be selfish for THEIR kid, and have a coach stay?

 

It is very possible for a coach to be in it for the team as well as his kid.

Just in certain situations does it show more care for their son/daughter than the team.

 

I know many great coaches who are dedicated to their team and just happen to have one of their kids on it.

As far as the talent goes at GC, who do you think coached the majority of those kids when they were just starting as 8 & 9 year olds. They had to learn it somewhere, and I would venture to say you as a parent relied on Coach Logan or you would have started your own team. There have been a number of coaches prior to Coach Logan at GC that could not get the job done, Coach McGlone, Coach Carpenter, Coach Aldridge did win the district in 2001 (regional semifinals). In 2006 GC finished right at 500.in McGlone's last year. What coach can you name would win 22 games in a row with the schedule they played this year.

You must not have been at the GC / BC game in regional semifinals in 2007. It was obvious BC was out coached all night. I would like to know how it could have been quite possibly better!!

Where was Craft and Rice? One was at Post 76 and the other Playing on a team with his little brother. Coach Logan was around the field more this summer than McGlone or Carpenter ever was.

 

The last time I was in coaching you could only pencil in 10 guys in the line-up 9 + the DH, Who needs 12?

 

Someone said Paintsville just had 11 players and they played the game before. Obviously from your previous post you don't favor Coach Logan, and some of his decisions.

 

2 YEARS COACHING = 2 FINAL 8 APPEARENCES

That is pretty good math in GREENUP COUNTY!!!!!

This one is done and I suggest, we re-visit the Rules.
