The Truth Hurts

Coach.
Coming from a HS'er in me, it is not a major shocker to this kid what you told him, at least it shouldn't be. It is a major bummer, but its like if you dont turn in any homework all year and you expect to get an A, it won't be a shock when you get the F. I am saying this with the assumption that he just slid by on everything.

Linear, how far can you guys deliver?

I'm hungry

Coach, I'm sure he's been to at least one of your games or practices, but you wouldn't know because he's incognito. Be on the lookout for his disquise, he'll be hard to pick out, but I know you can do it. Here's the latest photo of his new disquise:

coach knight and jinxn - great posts. theres a huge difference between a good high school player and a college player. people that have been around know what it takes to play on the college level. its hard. just because a kid can start for a high school team does not mean he has the toughness and dedication to play on the college level. its tough to play in our program. we work hard in the offseason - very hard, we expect our kids to be good students, we expect our kids to perform and win - and we do win - but that does not make them potential college players. if you've never been there you'll never understand.

I have never been there, not ever been a coach. However, I do believe that a coach, any coach should always be very truthful with his players, to let them know EXACTLY where they stand as to why others are getting phone calls and others are not.
I do beleive this was not just an issue regarding not just making it in the weight room, as maybe stated in the original post.
The truth does hurt, very much, I have seen it. Actually many players don't need to be told the truth, they already know the answer to why they will not go on to play baseball in college and others will.
The way I see it, there is a difference between telling the truth, and "skirting around the issue".
I think this thread has run it's course.

Coach B25,

IMO - Take a deep breath and dont worry about our resident cyber psycho. If he goes completely wacko - his stuff just gets erased and we all move on.

Just goof on him - and move to the next topic. Its easy and much less stressful.

What's wrong coach?

You can dish but you can't take????

Edit your post so you look better?

It's that insecurity of yours.

We all know you're a good coach. A good coach that insists that everyone know it. Even if he has to tell everyone himself.
