[J. R. VanHoose]

Is JR mentaly and emotionally mature enough to handle the job with the pressures and criticisms that can potentially go along with the X's and O's? If so, he needs to learn to handle stuff a lot more critical than what was posted on here. That was very very mild, compared to what he could receive.

One should all be allowed to do what makes one happy , and be where one is happy. But just for the record, while I am sure that they all wish JR well and hope that he is happy with what he is doing, and doing the right thing, there are also members of JR's immediate family that has made the statement to me personally that they think JR has "lost his mind" . So, if one's own family makes a comment as such, there should be enough respect owed to some outsiders that may question his move as well.

Yes, I am "mature" enough to handle the pressures and criticisms, I am a coach!! O.k., so since one should be allowed to be happy, and be where one is happy why is it anyone else's concern why I chose to be at Phelps. Furthermore, why is it any of your business to post a "rumor" about one of my immediate family members apparently saying something that questions my sanity. Let me state this as plain as you could even understand. I did not make this choice to please anyone in my family, if I would have done that I would still have been in Paintsville. I made this move for me and my wife. I am a grown man, my wife and our family come first, our extended families comes next.

People like you and faith are what amaze me about things, I defend myself and my decision and you blast me about how I should be "classy" and respect others opnions. Then in your very next post, you post information from my "immediate" family that questions my sanity. So is that classy on your part? Does that show respect? No it doesn't, it just shows that people can remain nameless, make comments that could not be used as evidence in court (heresay), to berate and chastize a person for making a comment.

I joined this board so people would know who I was and the opinions that I held. If you don't agree fine, but when you bring my wife and/or family into posts and then I get "disciplined" for defending them then I believe that is just wrong. I don't believe that you really heard a comment like that from a family member anyway, all of my family members have given me nothing but support since I chose this job and have offered to help me in any way possible.

Maybe, I can spread some rumors about your family saying this and that about your job on chat rooms for all to see. But wait, I can't, I don't even know your real name!
