:sssh:Uh isn't Highlands where Coach Duffy was????????????????????

 

Yea 20 yrs ago and he had a shortlived stay if you remember.

I agree with your assessment. I remember him playing Intramural ball out at NKU during college and he was a hothead then. Seems like things havent changed. Its okay to get upset with kids but you have to figure out how to channel that anger to get the best positive result and embarrassing a kid in a gym in front of his family is not acceptable IMO. Seems like this is his MO and from what I understand it is why he didnt get a 2nd interview at Highlands.

 

Coach Carr did not even interview for the Highlands job!

Short lived would be a year or two he was there longer than that. it was supposed to be a tongue in cheek comment but he was longer than short lived. He was there from 1988-1993 which is more than a short lived career.

Fill me in I've never heard of Duffy. Was he a hot head did he yell and scream at his players? If so glad he's gone. Its just a game no need to show a teen-ager up. If he's not doing what the coach wants then put somebody else in.

 

Would you want somebody up in your face yelling and screaming if you screwed up???

 

Verbal abuse can be just as painful as physical abuse there's no place for it

 

Its just a game...

Carr never interviewed at Highlands.

Where was this thread in December? In January?

 

Ask programs and people from outside yoru area what they think about the Scott H.S. basketball program and they will tell you classy gentlemen that are really well coached and disciplined.

 

Brad Carr has put Scott High School on the map, no longer do people think it's Scott County.

It's just a game. And they keep score. This isn't the YMCA. Not everyone gets a trophy. Kids are soft these days.

 

I know, I know, verbal abuse is damaging to the psyche of these moldable young men. Is it a possiblity that through some of the "abuse" there is some accountability taught? Some sense of resposibility to the team and doing one's job for the betterment of the whole?

 

I'm not for a coach going on a profanity-laden tyrade in the face of a high schooler, and maybe that's what you're speaking of here. If so, I'm off base and apologize. If that's not the case, I suggest the kids take up home-ec and put the ball away.

Actually Jim Mitchell is Scott High School, he did build the program from nothing.

Show me the research where negative re-enforcement achieves the desired results? :idunno:

 

 

Again I'll ask you which would you rather have someone get up in your face ranting and raving or someone that has the poise to explain to you what you did wrong?

 

Treat people the way you wanted to be treated.

 

If you prefer to have someone chew you out so be it. :thumb:

Edited March 10, 201016 yr by CATBIRD

I am going to have to disagree. Brad Carr has taken Scott to a perennial contender. He has put the Scott program on the map not Jim Mitchell not Coach Wenderoth...although he did get them to state correct?????????????

Catbird Coach Duffy was the football coach before Coach Mueller and did a great job winning two state titles. Known to be extremely aggressive as a coach and his rosters even at Highlands rarely exceeded the 30 player mark. Tough guy to play for but got great results........ (just my opinion)

I am reading this and having a hard time believing that this is actually being debated. I am 42 years old and was coached since 2nd grade in sports by coaches who were quiet, some were stern and some were down right scary. I have been called everything but a milk cow, picked up by my facemask and picked up by my little league uniform (and some chest skin) for moping off the field instead of running off the field. I, and my teammates, turned out fine. I grew up to be a doctor and now coach JFL football, help with basketball and baseball and am on the sidelines with our high school football team. If you want to take the time to coach, then do it and leave the ones currently doing it alone. They have earned the right to coach how they want and if the school is happy with him/her then keep quiet. I am more concerned by what the kids think of their coach and what his colleagues think. I have heard some say that kids are different now and you have to coach differently. I say that's a crock. The kids are soft because of their parents and whiny because their parents are whiny. If your kid is learning the game and is happy, leave well enough alone. If he doesn't like it, don't go out next year. The quicker these kids learn how the real world turns, the better! You can't fix all their problems and shelter them from the reality that life is hard and sometimes unfair.

So, to sum up my rambling thoughts...........be an example to your kids to show them how to react to hard times with class and dignity rather than bad mouthing and being negative. These kids are watching you and they are sponges and will go on to become the same as you or worse. So, before you go criticizing people for taking the time from their families to coach your kids and mold them for the future, ask yourself how you want your kids to turn out. JMO.

Great post! I agree with the bold!

 

Is this even an issue that Scott is about to drop the ax? Has the administration already decided one way or the other? Or did they just upset some parents that possibly complained by telling them they will not tell him to step down?

The results speak for themselves. Some discipline has to be instilled into the kids. You can't just baby them all the way through school. He teaches them accountability and I would be glad to have him coach my younger son if he so choose to play basketball at Scott when he enters there next year.
