[Hoot Gibson]

The things which you say have a great deal of merit Hoot, however we must understand that Liability can be a two edged sword.

The right way to handle issues with teachers or coaches is the direct route. You give them a chance to make things right, if possible. If you are still unsatisfied, then you give the principal a shot at setting things straight, and you follow through until your complaint lands on the board's agenda, if necessary. If you are not prepared to handle the problem in that manner, then you should keep your opinions to yourself.

I am not talking about critizing a coach's play calling and other coaching decisions - those are things that a reasonable person should expect when they decide to become a coach. What I am talking about is character issues that, if true, render a person an unfit coach, and if untrue, can still destroy a man's ability to earn a living in his chosen profession.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I get tired of seeing anonymous charges like this one going largely unchallenged. They are not good for websites and they are not an adult way of handling what may be a serious problem that needs to be addressed in an adult manner.
