DeSales

Good team, arrogant coach.

can you please define what you mean by "arrogant"?

Sure...

He's the type of coach that thinks it's his strategies that win the game, and the kid's fault when they lose. I've also heard him tell potential recruits not to bother..".all my kids are 6'2 and cut out of stone...you're too small..." Their 3rd base coach is a problem, too. He might be the only coach I've seen that actually talks *$#@ to the opposition more than any other player. They have talented teams...but..

Our team beat them out to play the final game for regionals this year. My son attended a baseball camp in 9th grade and Coach Neiman was at the door when we went in to drop him off. First question was 'how are your grades?' I've always heard good things about their program and him. JMO

I'll be honest...I'm basing this mostly off of other coaches opinions...I was an assistant coach against their club years ago. I have heard this opinion from several coaches though...And have known kids from their program who gave me insight into their attitude, which is basically "we run a first-rate program and every one else is a joke".

BTW, never to take away from their abilty on the field. They're a good team, probably always will be.

BTW,

level

Don 't always listen to what others tell you--can sometimes make you look foolish if you continue the talk

Other coaches may be jealous of his success

Every coach that is good in your eyes! You have lost all credibility!

TO TR

There are lots of bad coaches who coach for wrong reasons! Open your eyes!

I do not know you nor what your intentions and experience are-- many know that one on one I will speak openly regarding coaches I KNOW OF-- but to openly on a forum like this --this is not the place-- there are schools I wont send any of our players to but I will not speak ill of caoches on here for "sharks" like you to prey on--that is between me and the nperson on the phone

Have you ever seen me downgrade by name a coach or any program in public? Will never happen

I would suggest that you open your eyes and have respect for what others may know--not just me but all others

What is your experience and background in judging coaches ? Your profile tells me a lot!!

Call me and talk to me like a man

800-782-3672

I am waiting if you have the guts to call and name the coaches you have in mind--I dont think you can--better yet list them here

My intentions are obvious! You protect all coaches! No one is asking you to bash any one!
"Other coaches may be jealous of his success"Is that not protecting a coach! I have called you before! You never showed me the courtesy of calling back! Parents and kids need to know who is an honorable coach! Your protection is not fair! A no comment is not trashing a coach! Disputing someones elses opinion is not fair! After all it is their opinion!

I am a shark for suggesting that not all coaches are good! WOW! Looks like I may have hit a nerve! Wonder if you have ever been accused of protecting coaches before?

I'll chime in here...my family knows someone who used to work at DeSales, and my brother looked into the school by contacting Coach Neiman. It basically took 75 seconds for my brother to cross off DeSales, because for 40 of those seconds, Neiman told him that he doesn't really recruit pitchers like him and that it would be a big uphill battle for him....

Coincidentally, my brother was 2nd team all-NESCAC last year at Tufts...as a sophomore who missed the entire offseason because of rotator cuff problems...pretty sure that uphill battle would have suited him just fine...

You another cyberspace invisible person--

Yes I have talked down on coaches--but I wont do it in public forum such as this so people like you cannot continue to defame--if anyone wants info they know my number and can call--and many do- and they can tell you the scoop if they so desire

I see no need to defame a college coach on an open forum where most posters such as you do not have the guts to say who they are

To my fault and then some I am an open book-- but I am real pal-- I would much prefer to be real and then take the arrows that are slung my way--ouch--there is another one!

As my Dad taught me --"BE YOUR OWN MAN--INTEGRITY IS THE KEY--DO NOT HIDE BECAUSE SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL FIND YOU ANYWAY!"

God love you Dd!!!

Whoa! Where did I or anyone defame a coach? I said,"Do not protect a coach"! You jump to defend coaches whereas you should not say anything! Do you honestly believe that ALL coaches are honorable and truly care about each and every player! That some are on an ego trip and their number one priotity is winning! You are either very naive or not honest!

By the way I am not invisable! Remember I did call you and you never called back! See! HA! HA!

The way I'm seeing it is TR is saying that there is a correct place for open critisism of a individual(coach). Doing it anonymously in a public forum such as here is not his syle. I absolutely agree.
Hey Slim, take a pill and relax. You sound like you have an axe to grind, maybe someone never got the message.

Has there been any coaching changes at DeSales recently? Coincidentally, just today, my son received a nice handwritten note from DeSales Baseball wishing him luck in his '06 season. But it's signed by a Coach Burlee? Can't find his name anywhere on the 2005 website. They can't be ALL bad if they're making nice with an '07 catcher from Massachusetts!

It's coach burke. I have no further info however.

Looking at it again it DOES look like Burke. Thank you, maybe he's new to the staff this year?

Must be. doesn't appear to be any info on the website. I also noticed that the roster is from last year in addition to the schedule.

people want to know about programs. Personal comments about coaches is not what this site is about.

A coaches character is a huge part of what a program is all about.

Poptime-
i recieved exact same letter the other day. Said good luck in your '06 season
-Coach Burke

i was wondering the same thing you were about coaching changes, I'm a pitcher from NJ, i dont plan on attending DeSales but karma may have it that your son may be catching me one day. Just a fun thought.

We aren't ruling DeSales out, heck, we aren't ruling anything out at this point! It's actually not a bad fit for my son. In the end it's up to him.

Your Karma ran over my Dogma!

Of course it is but who judges the character.

RT CAN YOU READ? I SAID DO NOT PROTECT A COACH!
THAT IS AS SIMPLE AS I CAN SAY IT! I FEEL TR ON MANY OCCASIONS HAS JUMPED UP TO DEFEND A COACH!MY AX TO GRIND IS WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT READ!

I SAID DO NOT PROTECT A COACH!
THAT IS AS SIMPLE AS I CAN SAY IT!

Sometimes people have to have your back!!!!

Not a case of protecting a coach but much more noty allowing posters like you to make unsubstantiated remarks about coaches--a few months back an misinformed poster was all over the Temple coaching situation making remarks about who was getting the job--by naming names not in the mix they were endangering recruiting effortsd of certain coaches they named.

All too many just pass along rumors with no basis ither than they heard it from so and so.


When you do not the facts you are best to keep your mouth shut-- and yes if you or any poster makes ill informed posts I will protect the coach in question

Trhit

Some people live by the adage "dont let the facts get in the way of a good story"

WHERE DID I MAKE AN "UNSUBSTANTIATED REMARK" ABOUT A COACH? I DARE YOU TO FIND IT! I SAID YOU PROTECT COACHES! I"LL LET IT GO SINCE YOUR READING SKILLS AND COMPREHENTION ARE NILL!

LEVEL CALLED THE COACH "ARROGANT"! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE COACH? WHY ARGUE! YOU CAN NOT READ! YOU CAN APOLIGIZE WHEN YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE TO REREAD MY POSTS TO YOU! AND YOU STILL PROTECT COACHES! A DISSERVICE TO PLAYERS AND PARENTS!

Sir

If you are going to continue to post please refrain from using CAPS--that denotes the fact that you are yelling

I was yelling! Now I am sir? Is that your apology! Answer my last post or say, " I am sorry Slim"

You did not return my phone call and now you will not post my remarks! Who is the invisible cyber person now? Lets see how much class you have!

Slim

I never got a call from you--no message on my voicemail

Call me now--if you called before you have the number

Only be too glad to speak with you

Admit that I never made a derogatory remark about a coach! Then I might call!

TR. It's not worth it, Slim's got issues.

rt

I hear you

YOU STILL PROTECT COACHES!

Well it is good to know somebody has your back.

Other than the good ol boy network, everybody knows you are a liar because you can not produce a statement that I made that was derogatory to a coach! And that "he has issues" is a grade school approach to avoid the issue!
What a sad example for our youth! A bunch of old men who can not admit a mistake!
