Andy,
One of your previous posts (not yours but some of the comments) was very critical of the Wheatmore football coach for not letting coach Garrett miss football practice to go to Lafayette with the colt team. I feel that this criticism is a bit”over the top” without all of us knowing the facts. If coach Garrett asked ahead of time and permission was denied, then he could have informed the colt group—–if he did not ask then, he probably should have to be fir to the team especially if there were any doubt about his travel being OKed. Since he does get paid for one job versus the other, then it was probably an easy decision to make on which commitment to “live up to”.
The head football has obligations to the tea, the school, and his family that made his decision very difficult for him as well. Don’t be too hard on him, as it is always easy not to see both sides of the situation and to make erroneous conclusions.
