[Hustle]

Ok I said I wasnt gonna post anymore in this thread but I gotta set you straight on something. If you pay attention to my posts at all then you know if I felt the administration were to blame I wouldnt hesitate to lay the blame at their feet. I still think this current administration might be the most anti-sports administration in school history. But in this situation they were left with no choice. Plain and Simple. You dont have to trust me on that you just need to look at my history and know that Ive never been afraid to tell them when I think theyre wrong. As far as a few parents were the ones that got Ben hired as coach. Youve got a true situation but youve got youre coaches mixed up. Pretty much the entire community of Pikeville wanted Ben as coach. But a couple of parents got Mcnamee forced out and got Jackson hired back in '05 which started this whole mess.

Of course they made the right decision after the fact, they had no choice. I'm talking about the decision to make the hire in the first place. By the way I think Pikeville has got the perfect people in place to make the right decisions. Wasn't Keno Trivette the AD when Jackson got hired, and wasn't John Stratton the Principal? Completely different group of administrators. Pikeville's really struggled all around the board as far as athletics, if you ask me....except for cheerleading of course! Did you ever think that it might not always be the coaching that led to the "whole mess?" Jackson seems to be doing pretty well at Ballard!
