Who is Coaching Grassfield?

The other 2 assistant coaches....

What happened to Coach Todd?

Heard he was not at game tonight?

 

The word on the street....

 

 

(Shaun Todd, has  resigned as head coach of GF Baseball)

 

Obvious question...why?  Repeat of issues from a couple of years back when he was suspended?

Threw a tennis racquet at a player of his and hit the kid in the face! The source I got the info from is from that area, and knows the program very well.  There is no time for that non-sense.  I understand that coaches get pissed off, but he acted like a true loser this time around.  People should not keep quiet on these issues. I'm surprised he is not in bigger trouble.  

He should have lost his job as well

NRBB - Agree 100%.  The players cannot defend themselves from the coach.  Only adults ...ie Principals, AD's and Parents can prevent this from happening. Failure to do so is nothing short of dereliction of duty to the players. 

 

Maybe a AD or principal going down will cut this crap out.  Maybe seeing someone booted from a 100k principal gig because of some yahoo coach will get some attention.  A nice little lawsuit might get the school board involved.

 

Zero tolerance for finger guns or name calling for students but assaults by staff (coaches) by language in particular are routine.  It seems like easy pickings to me, but I am not a lawyer.  

 

 

Holy Cow....

 

That is crazy.....

Yeah because he threw the racquet at the kid on purpose... Come on. And as for wanting a AD or principal fired, that's crazy. Downtown is involved as they always are with any situation like what happened.

No the coach did not throw at the kid on purpose. But heard that his actions leading up to this outcome could have fueled the end result.

 

 

 

Regardless if it was on purpose or not. He has acted careless way to many times.

Because you are an expert on knowing all of his actions. Not many people really understand how much he has done for the kids and program.

Getting pissed off at a kid and throwing buckets of balls on a bus and throwing a tennis racquet outweighs the good man. That's the most hypocritical crap I have ever heard. Sounds like a real role model to me!

 

nrbb07: you can have your opinion and I'm not disagreeing that those two incidents you mentioned were wrong. I'm just saying that he has done more for that program than most people will ever know.

Why?  No accountability for what happens at the school?  No sale here. 

 

1st time out, OK on the pass.  Repeat problems and asking if heads are in the sand is a entirely reasonable question.  If the answer is unsatisfactory then action must be taken. 

 

For example, here's a question I would ask the Principal and AD:  In light of the problems in 2012 have you personally observed any practices or games over the past two years to be sure that behavior is acceptable?  If they did then I can slide over to your point of view.  If they didn't, or only went to 1 or 2 then drop them like a bad habit.  Absolute no brainer IMO.

 

Make them all think twice about the next coach that lands on their doorstep for inappropriate and abusive behavior.

 

BTW...Thank God it wasn't a bat he was waving around.  Maybe a cracked skull on purpose or not might change things.  As if that matters one damn bit.  Geez officer ...I didn't mean to run those school children over when I went around the school bus.  Reckless behavior always ends badly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No Hitter: 20 mins ago somebody had to tell you what happened because you didn't know what had gone on. You can have your opinion that he has hurt the program but everything he put into the program as well is more than I've seen than a lot of HS coaches.

Regardless of what this coach as done for the program, if he threw a tennis racquet, or any other object, and it struck a player, or even came close to striking a player, (intentional or unintentional) he should be fired and suffer legal consequences.  If the AD and principal don't take the appropriate actions, they should suffer severe consequences as well.
