OK coach Church, when you mention the fact that "If someone would have told THEIR A.D. about the parents, are you referring to me? The way it is worded sounds like it. I do not always know the parents from the other team, all though it is not hard to figure out. It is the responsibility of the coach to deal with his kids' parents. If that doesn't work then the A.D. should move in. I think most of us have had experience with this and it is our responsibilty to handle it first. If a coach would have come to me and said they had a prioblem with one of their parents then I would have told the A.D. I had no reason to tell my A.D. anything. You have my email and know how to get ahold of me. If you wish to discuss this further I would be glad to. If anyone else wants to discuss the Derby Tournament email me at bross@usd260.com Have a good day. Coach Bill Ross Derby H.S.
I was actually complimenting Russ Baldwin in the fact that he really did take care of business when asked. If he did not know what was going on, how could he fix it. Therefore, I said,all you had to do was make the administration aware. I meant as a fan and was not one bit implying anything negative on Derby, it's coaches or staff. Coach P. and Mr. Baldwin did a great job twice with issues I saw in the crowd.
Finally, This tournament is a top shelf tournament! They run a smooth event and it is fun to be at. The community works hard and the staff and coaches work hard to put on one of the top tournaments in the state.
Coach Ross, Coach P., Coach H., and Mr. Baldwin get 2 thumbs up or 5 stars for this tournament!
Now everybody breath and relax and enjoy the rest of your season!
