I know a lot of coaches who use smokeless tobacco and the smoking kind. I know coaches who drink, yes, beer and bourbon. I know coaches who yell, tell or have told inappropiate jokes. I know coaches who "accidently" leave the weight room open. Better than some of the kids actually breaking in to workout. I know coaches who bend the rules a little, especially the ridiculous rules. My question is, Did they ever have a conversation or dialogue with Coach Mason about this and tell him some, and I mean "some" people had taken issue with his "behavior." Nelson County is "Catholic" land, and also "bourbon" country. And they have a BOURBON FESTIVAL! Think of all those role models that attend. It is all a bunch of bull. The "good ole boys" of Nelson wanted him out. It is as simple as that. Lantz doesn't care because she is retiring. Truth be told, they don't like her any better either. Bill Mason has been represented as a "bad" role model, which is a misrpresentation of him as a person and this could effect him in applying for other jobs. Politics can do that to person. He is no different than the majority of coaches and at least he doesn't pretend to be something he is not either, which is a quite disgusting trait among some coaches. Basically you could say Mason is quite human. Not like some of the hypocrites we have out there.
