  1. Wonder if the administration at Grimsley will let this guy run the program or will they step in everytime a parent gets upset. If they will back off this guy could have some success.

  2. I think it is up to the administration and AD to insulate the coaches from the crazy parents. At least they need to support the coaches when they are trying to do what is right for the team. No matter how much money they give to support the program or how much they complain. Parents are crazy. I know…I am one.

    I think this coaching move is a very good one by the way.

  3. I haven’t heard parents complain about the coaches. I’ve heard plenty complain about the administration and AD. Oh well. New day coming. Lots of new faces. Congrats to coach Pat. Well deserved. Should’ve gotten the job 5 years ago.
