I think the whole laughing thing can be taken several ways, he could either be laughing at the refs for calls, laughing at his teams overall preformance because he knows they can do better, or be just laughing at the situation the schools putting him in. I think its the third because I know I'm laughing at the school right now for wanting to let probably one of the best overall person I've ever actually sat down and had a conversation with go. I'm from Paintsville and its not uncommon to see Coach Runyon laugh at his teams preformance, parents don't say anything, so that is no excuse. If the school wants to let him go come up with something other than that, that is rediculous. I seriously doubt parents of young adults would be upset with someone trying to teach, coach, and prepare their son for the future. Discipline is what any coach has to do to his players. Knowing some of the players there is nothing that I can see from his players that would make me think any less of his discipline on his team. They are always well respected just about every where they go. Martin is a great man, great coach, and more importantly a great role model for any school. Its a shame the school would let him go just after 2 bad seasons and him being near eligibility for retirement. Let him finish it out, he brought AC basketball on the map with great teams of the past, and I know they will be back soon as long as he's the man behind the whistle. He's the right man for the job, and no reason to let people's egos or envy get in the way of everything right he has done for the school. Let him stay!!
