Coaches or Players?

And second of all what are these kids learning? I guess how to lose with class maybe because we sure have had the change to perfect that one :lmao:

Dawg Family,

Well, for one John Wooden began coaching at UCLA in 1948 and it was 16 years before he would win the NCAA tournament -- with you as a booster he would have been selling farm tractors back in Indiana after 1954.
Lawrence County's current girls coach is in her sixth season as coach, inherited a team that posted a 7-17 record in 1999-2000 and improved them in wins by two.
Her team posted a winning season in 2003-2004 (13-12) and right now she has a career record of 66-85 and a winning percentage of .437, six points higher than her counterpart with the boys program, whose winning percentage is .431 (and he is an EXCELLENT coach and better human being).
She has never had the benefit of coaching without tragedy or conflict. She has never had the benefit of having strong parental support, and indeed has been undermined actively by certain people in the community.
Do I think she's John Wooden? Heck no... but in Louisa, no one gets a chance to prove whether they are or not.
I understand you don't like her, but don't misrepresent her record to suit your feelings.
BTW, if kids HAVE learned to lose with class, it certainly hasn't been from most of the fans.
