[Envy~Me~Always]

I agree with some of the comments that have been posted on here. But I want to correct one thing- most of the time coaches are simply hired for who they are and who they know. In both the County and at Paintsville. Every now and then you will get lucky and find a coach who is there for the right reasons- the kids.

Coaching at any level can prove to be quite difficult. You have the responisbilty of teaching the values of being a team player, the ruls and points of the game, and putting up with parents who will never be satisfied. We all want what is best for our kids- but some take it too far by trying to live in their shoes, embarassing their kids by yelling things at them and other players at their games, and not giving the child a chance to grow as a player.

Coaching should always be about the kids not about furthering one own's career or dreams. hh:
