RUMOR---Johnny Martin Fired as Allen Central Head Coach??
#38
Like you said, "What is winning a championship worth"? Since you have stated that these are two totally different types of situations- I will assume that you have first hand knowledge of the "situation" at ACHS.

I have no knowledge of the basketball situation at ACHS...

My point was, I know what the baseball situation was...to compare what happened to Coach Patton is not comparing 'apples with apples'.

Coach Patton's not getting hired back apparently had nothing to do with winning...seems like it had more to do with moral issues.

On top of that...the first priority for schools should be an EDUCATION not if the sports teams win or lose. Believe me, I'm as competitive as anyone...but I'm also intelligent enough to know that the majority of these kids will never earn a cent by playing sports. The percentage of the participants that will even get a college scholarship for sports is very, very small.

I am a fan of Coach Martin and Coach Patton...they have done wonderful things for ACHS sports and the community.

Sometimes I wonder why people send their kids to school...to play sports or get an education.

Leaving an emotional decision up to immature kids is not the thing to do either. Kids tend to lack the ability to see the 'big picture' in life.
