I don't have a dog in this hunt. But from what I can pick up, most of the "fans", and I use that term loosely, stopped coming to games and supporting the kids because they got their feelings hurt. They didn't get the coach that they wanted. The kids didn't have a problem with playing for JTA. The parents are the ones with the problems, or better yet some people that didn't have any kids in the program were raising the most stink.
It's easy to sit back and be an armchair quarterback(coach). I would've done this or I would've that. Until you have been out there you can't comment.
The bottom line is JTA was not treated fairly in this situation, just my opinion.
Now, it's a done deal, what needs to be done is get on with it, find a coach so the kids can get their heads right and play the game. Remember it is a game not a popularity contest.

I'm from Paintsville, played there, played for coach Allen (when he was the defensive coord.), I go to games, I got lil buddies that tell me things that go on. I woulda liked to have seen JTA be successful but it just wasn't gonna happen no matter how many more years they gave him. Facts are facts and I could name a few players who had plans of leavin, a few that weren't gonna play and a few middle schoolers that weren't gonna go out.
