Looking at Film. Corbin/JC Game 11/19

Tom Greer is a great coach, maybe not a great head coach but a great coach none the less.
Corbin celebrated his return when he joined the staff of Haddix
Corbin tends to over rate kids (especially daddies)
Corbin has too many daddies involved
When you degrade your coach constantly you are degrading the program
Criticize in private
Praise in public
You are hampering your own ability to attract top area athletes
You can’t win with Corbin kids alone
Actually you can’t win with an all star team either (see Johnson Central game)
Bad messages are sent when you constantly bring in outside athletes
Facilities don’t make winners.  (Grass beats turf)
Sometimes it is the Xs and Os which in real life are the jimmies and joes. 
To win you have to unite as one kids hear and listen
It does not take much to destabilize a kids faith in coaches and a program
It does take a lot to fix it

At some point you have to decide if beating the locals is enough, if taking kids from other schools just so they don’t have them is enough.  You have to have faith in the subsystem and the system to work. 

Corbin used to win championships because they were ahead of the game as far as weight lifting and other parts of the subsystem.  In today’s times many many schools have not only caught but surpassed Corbin, now is the time to figure out how to fix all the parts of the system

"Super Dave" (still can't believe that)  just needs to do what needs to be done to fix the system, subsystem, and sub sub system.  It's been four gosh darn decades!!! A lot of systems are failing but it starts with poor leadership at the top and too many people(boosters) having input into the program's direction that have no business having any input. I never thought I would say this but I may never see another state title at Corbin in my lifetime. Too many adults putting their own interests above that of the kids and the program.  As someone already mentioned, running Haddix out of town will likely go down as the worst decision in the history of the program.
