This coaching staff has no respect from these kids! Its there job to establish this. Good guy doesn't mean good coach!! you have to build trust with kids, and no trust has been earned from them. My thought he thought this was going to be a easy road, road is a little bumpy now. A shame LC let Cook get away before these kids graduated. But typical of them. If not not in the family, you're not welcome.

And please, inform us of how this occurred? How did LC let him "get away"? He was applying and looking for jobs the day after we lost in the regional tourney. nicker: He couldn't wait to get away from here. And the fact that you said "at least until these kids graduated" says a lot about you and your motives. That's sad that the ONLY thing you care about is the years for THIS GROUP of kids in this program. I guess it would have been fine with you if Cook stayed another two years and then bolted and left the program high and dry. But, hey, that would not be your problem anymore, right?

And for another mistake, coaches should have respect instantly when they take over. That's the problem with this generation today. Back 20-30 years ago, and longer, players respected their coach regardless of who they were or the situation. If the coach showed up every day and did his job, he earned my respect. I didn't have to like him. But I played hard for him and did what he told me to do because that was my JOB as a player! What's these kids learning from all this? This is a life lesson. They are going to have jobs where a popular boss of theirs quits or moves on and is replaced by someone else. Are they suddenly going to quit their job because they didn't like it? That's what you all are teaching this generation with your attitude here. :HitWall:
