Guru,
I agree with you completely. I know the parental support is in place to win right now and the booster program is willing to do anything that Mike wants them to do. The boys that are in place knows how to win and definitely hate losing so I hope they can get it turned around so another group of seniors don't have to go out the way this year's group went out. Leadership will be the key to this season's outcome, there are several kids that can be great leaders and role models for the younger kids and if they lead the way I hope they do I think we will see a few more W's in the the win/loss column this year.

The question is: can that parental support and booster support be provided without trying to tell the coach how to coach and run the team? Not being familiar with the situation in Letcher County, I don't know that answer. But I do know that parents and supporters publicly criticizing a coach is detrimental, not beneficial, most of the time.

If this Whittaker fellow is a terrible coach as some have stated, then parents and supporters need to complain to the administration and then stop. If the administration isn't going to take action, nothing's going to change anyway, so why make it tougher on the kids and the program than it already is?

I've never understood why people want to air out their dirty laundry in public. Dissent from within; never to the outside.
