Moeder,

Not sure how I "jumped on your butt" by stating the facts.

Your quote is as follows: "...Hire the best people available and grow the program, if not Luedke is right in asking what you had to offer over other available candidates." I think most people would think that is a negative comment. From that statement you are questioning the hiring of Coach Thompson over other candidates based on who he hires as assistants...break down what you wrote and it's hard to see it any other way.

It appeared you were also trying to be somewhat supportive...so I didn't try to "jump your butt". Paid assistants are a great tool for a coach and I wish he had them. I agreed with that point but I don't agree with your initial comments.

This same topic is also on the high school forum and it is not the most congratulating...it has a lot of reference to other perceived candidates and questions about this hire.

I think if you read all of my posts on this topic (other than this one) you will not find any negative posts. There are only posts in which I stand up for Coach Thompson, a close friend. His family is not going to post on here about this (for obvious reasons) so I made the choice to defend his hiring from the ney sayers. I think "Pull your pantys out and MOST STUPID" would be considered the trouble initiating comments...jackass.

Also..."the hood" means "the neighborHOOD"
