Parents produce a letter signed "concerned parents" and send it to the school administrators

Coach is suspected of "inappropriate behavior" with underaged female student(s) and asked to resign. Not charged because only expectations are involved, nothing provible. After landing at a new school, does the exact same thing and this time gets caught and jailed. Female students at former school then begin to come forward and lead to additional charges.

wow...talk about a conversation killer.

Had this one yesterday.

Went outside to practice in bad weather.
Did not go outside to practice.

My son decided his career goal of high school coaching was going to change about 2 months before his high school coach got fired.

Coach cares more about the field than the product he puts on it.

gjbk1.....I have seen coaches fired because they did not do enough to the field.

Anyway, why should the hs coach have to do all of the maintainance to have a quality field?

D8
Coach should not have to do all the maintenance of the field.

They spend money in an inappropriate and wreckless manner in a public school!?!

lol.....06catcherdad, you got that right in many cases.

Let's pretend we have a coach ('cause you never know when big brother is watching). He asked the school to make some improvements to their field. The school said it would be cost prohibitive to make those improvement. So, he and the playes and their dads decided to go out and fix some things on their own without using school money. The coach then was told by the supt. of schools that the coach was not to make any further improvements without the supt's prior appoval. The reason for this was that it made the supt. look bad in the community when the coach went out and did the work himself.

Anyway, maybe he had a change of heart, because now he has said that the school will pay for the materials. All is well that ends well.

D8, your coach is my kind of guy!

How about if the boosters raise money for a specific purpose, but he then spends it on an unintended purpose, and for which those who raised the money don't approve?

Hate to break up the pity party, but all of these "reasons" are actually excuses. The reason coaches get fired is Because They Do Not Have A Winning Program.

Because with a Winning Program, no one cares about any of that other stuff.

I never had a booster club did not want one did not need one however if I did I would tell them what I needed not the other way around

I agree, booster clubs are to support the coach and his program, not the other way around. Money raised should be spent as the coach sees fit.

Yours truly,
VP Fundraising 2005-2006

OK, what if he agreed to the project, in fact asked for it, and once the money was raised, used it for entirely different purposes, that nobody was told the money would by used for, after they'd raised it?

In other words, is it ok to get the boosters to engage in a major fundraiser in the belieft that they are working toward a specific goal, and then go off and use the money for something else entirely, that they never knew about or would have done the work on, if they'd known how it was going to be spent?

Why does he have to agree to anything? so the boosters tell him what they want and he agrees? What if they want something and he says no?

Lets see I will ask the booster club to raise some money .get me a stud pitcher who is lights out. a good double play combination a great defensive catcher etc etc
