[Dumpster Diving]

Talking to the kids on the Somerset team over the last couple of years...i would say the biggest reason why it is time for a change is that they are having no fun. Even when they were winning earlier in the season. Its not that Daniels doesn't know the game or isn't a great coach, but they way he coaches. His overall manerisms and way he does it have a very negative vibe and that is a big part of the reason many kids keep dropping off of the team there or not coming back. The practices are negative, the instruction during the games is negative, etc...In a school like Somerset where the kids all play multiple sports, if you don't make it fun they aren't ever going to be great because the kids will just focus on the other sports.

Some players a couple weeks ago admitted to looking forward to the season ending because it just wasn't enjoyable. That is why the loss didn't really shock me.
