I know Ty very well, and, much like coach Haywood, who I have spoken with him hundreds of times, and I like him a great deal.

Ty is deeply protective of his children; the only arguments I have had with him, have been connected to his kids. I would trust my own children with Ty as their teacher, or their coach, and I know dozens of folks that feel the same. If he were a teacher at DeSales, he would immediately become one of the stronger educators in the building.

So, regarding others "losing esteem" for him, after the Belfry game, I can assure you, he could not give two wet, rhymes with "hits", about the opinions of others. When he wishes to return to a position as head coach, city schools will fall over themselves to have him as their new coach; members of the staff/faculty, with connections to DeSales, at a certain green and yellow school, known as a letter near the conclusion of the English alphabet, were deeply interested in him taking over their program.

Personally, I would happily throw many commemorative presidential rectangles Scroggins' way, to become head coach at my favorite high school, but I do not believe he has any interest in leading my favorite program. After the 2020 season, when his son is finished with the high school ranks, I strongly suspect that a certain, south-end, public 6-A school in Louisville, will have the honor of him becoming their head coach, and I am deeply interested to see what he does, with an endlessly talented program, which has never been able to surmount the big two Catholic schools in the city.

More importantly, if one is a Belfry fan, why on earth would you care about the opinions of others, mere days before the state title game? Haywood was gutsy, Davis was grossly conservative... enjoy that; relish it; celebrate it; anything else is wasteful energy.

Nobody respects a crybaby. Win with class, lose with class and move on. Best of luck to all in the future, Coach Scroggins included.
