Been reading this, here are a couple of insights that might have been overlooked. 1..Because Coach Green didn't want to coach the JV after the other coach quit that left 7 or so freshman kicked off a team that they had already played 3 games in. The excuse was they didn't have any jerseys. They already played 3 games?  ?? Why isn't anyone talking about the unfairness to them. That is a much bigger story I think. 2. Paul Green was talked to by at least one of the players about some problems as was Jim Pierce after the kiss my a## comment to the kids about the parents. Pierce said for kids to talk to Len but they were afraid to that was why they went to Paul and Jim. Minton had just been kicked off. The kids who spoke to Jim and Paul were suddenly seeing their playing time dwindle even more. Minton is suddenly back on team but tensions are high between players and Len. Why in the world did Gary and Jim not have a meeting with the kids and Len to solve this whole fiasco before it went this far and the parents became an easy excuse as to the problems????To me everybody is to blame. I talked to a parent that said they were told that Jim and Gary said that what happpened to the freshman was not right and they understood why the parent could see kids were being singled out and why parents were getting mad but that they could do nothing. If Len does not have to answer to his player, Jim, Gary, school board, or Blevins then he is pretty much a God who answers only to himself. He does not have a boss. The coach is in charge, always, but this seems like a little communication and those that run the School could have at least had some meeting and none of this would have happen and the boys who quit probably would have finished the year and if they didn't want to return they wouldn't and no one would have noticed. Does everybody need a degree to figure out where this went wrong? Admins have a job to do for the kids, the kids are not there so the admins have a job. Don't teach or coach to get a check, teach and coach because you want to try and make a difference in those kids lives. Was anybody worried about the kids who were reaching out to talk or the freshman who were canned or was everybody wanting to see the drama unfold about what coach might get canned. |

I would like to make one salient point here, if I may, regarding the current situation with the boys basketball team. Viewing the situation threw the sanity offered by being several hours away. The point is a simple one, by making a power play of this type, for placing into question the ability of CCHS to field a team at non district games the individuals and there parents are at best guilty of blackmail and at worst financial terrorism.
To deal with this situation,one must simply invoke the mantra of the 20th century's greatest president, Ronald Regan. "We will not negotiate with terrorists". If CCHS were to have to forfeit non-district games and be forced to pay the fines contractually obligated, it would fall directly on the shoulders of the "quitters" and there parental units.
However a question still remains, was there collusion? Was there a wink and a nod beyond a lets try this and see what happens? I don't know, but if it is even remotely possible, then every coach, nay every employee of the Campbell County School system has just had a loaded pistole leveled directly at them.
We must ask the question, who knew it and when did they know it?

I am simply saying that the idea had to form somewhere, to try and pull off the coup. This is not the NBA or the NHL where the money is the motivation. If Kevin Garnet pushes had enough, then the coach can be fired with no penalty, no affect on attendance and ticket sells. On the other hand KG has a big contract, and is the reason for butts being in the seats. Management will burn the coach, as it make financial sense. Here the situation is one that has a difficult question, was it dumb blind luck being used to convince seven sets of people to pull a power play? I am just wondering if at some point someone was told, if A happens then B will result. It would not be the first time in the history of CCHS that such an event has happened. If a coaching change is forced, by suggested resignation or by out right removal then I would look and ask the question, who benefits. A person some where in all of this is benefiting from such a power play, a coup d’état, performed with the blackest of hands.

From what I understand they were told by an official that if you do this....this will happen. But the exchange....didn't or hasn't happened!

Not to change the subject here, but it just goes to show that anything that comes out of Jusy Blevins mouth cant hold water.

Very good, OwlsBBmoma, there is the collusion. Now if, and i mean IF in very large letters, such a conversation occurred, and the board or the superintendent moves to remove the coach, president has been set for the removal of some other coach if a significant percentage of players quit. Now all of this is starting to sound like a Oliver Stone film, and I don't buy into all of it. I do stand by my theory that people were told that the out come of the coup, would be a coaching change. Now that could be a fallacy concocted by the ring leader of it to get the others to make a dumb choice simpler, or it could have had real weight. The only way to know is to see what shakes out.

The school board have already proven themselves a buch of jackasses with the Ken Bruce Elementary School decision.
