  1. How did the parents of the kid hit in the head by the ball react to that?

     

    The kid was afraid to really go to anybody and other kids spoke up to their parents. Cameras were then placed in the gym, To monitor practices. Nobody ever really came forward on that deal, the kid didn't want any problems and just wanted to play basketball and was afraid that telling and making a huge deal would hurt his chances to play. Wright told the kid it was a mistake and he didn't mean too.

    Wrights gone so there's no use in dwelling on the past. Looking forward to the future of SW's basketball program. Hopefully Coach Baker gets the job and they do it as quickly as possible.

  2. From alot of people in that area that I have talked with the AD was very weak in this whole ordeal. Think about everything you have read on this thread alone and determine for yourself. Not saying he is all the blame but when the red flags started right after Wright got there it was his job to take care of those issues. He did not and that's his job. All the problems created after that is on him and his lack of control over the entire fiasco because he let it continue.

     

    Everything you said is on point, what you have said hasn't went unoticed either by the proper authorities. Just glad the school can start a new chapter.

  3. The coach throws balls at your head and its a kid problem? Your funny. A lot more went on that you have no clue about. I have known coach Wright for 25 plus years and he still the same today as he was back then. Its all about me. always has been always will.

     

    Not only throw the ball at your a kids head but hit the kid, there's cameras in the gym now so that helps things out. I still don't understand the stat ordeal, Wright wanted all control more than anything and no help from parents or coaching staff. He wasn't able to keep up with it all and then pushed everyone else away that would help.

  4. I think it was mentioned in another thread that Wright was also keeping all correspondence from schools and would not give it to the players.

     

     

    There were 20-25 letters in his desk for players and he never gave them to the student athlete or hinted they had letters. I loved Wright and thought he was a great a fit, but the last two years it's been a circus and I'm talking about things he's done. Like I said I hate throwing out dirt on a forum, Wright can be one of the best Coach's in the state, but he lost control of himself and the team.

  5. Not all I agree but your players have to respect the Coach no matter what. They didn't respect him one bit. We had kids quit because they didn't want to play for the Coach. I'm talking about one kid who quit who would have logged major minutes because he didn't want to put up with Wright. Wright didn't post any of the players stats on the KHSAA webpage all year, with held college letters, threw a ball and hit a kid in the back of the head and the list goes on.

     

    By not posting players stats, the kids couldn't be fairly put up for any basketball related honors because they Had no stats to back them up. Also the biggest issue was no college coach was able to access the kids stats because of this. Wright was all about himself, he preached one thing and done another. I wish him well and wish things had went differentl, he thought he was bigger than the program. Hopefully next year Baker gets hired and things change.

     

    I'd take a team who would fight for their coach than a team full of talent who had no respect for their coach. Let the chips fall where they may next year but SW is better off no matter who transfers or stays with Wright gone. A lot of things were swept under the rug. Rant over, he gone and it's time for SW to move on with whatever team they may end up with. Some kids may leave but I also know a few kids are coming back out. I'm happy with the team either way especially with Coach Baker leading the way.
