BMOCPAPA ... not sure what your point regarding Mike is ...... we all know that, as you grow up, you have to make choices ...... Mike has made quite a few choices the past few years, many of which have involved personal sacrifice ...... more importantly, he owns his decisions (choices) and consequently makes the best of each one ...... another fine young man (and steve) ..... my disagreeement is with the stlye and substance (or lack thereof) of the unwarranted trashing of the turner baseball coach ...... obviously the coach did NOT say wrestlers would be cut from the team if they wrestled (Robert Dickinson wrestled and is still on the team)...... the person who posted this coach-bashing message admitted having no knowledge of the coach and furthermore, said they needed no further knowledge to condemn him as a person of low character ....... that person is wrong ..... wrestling (scholastic competition) is over .... baseball (scholastic competition) begins ...... the baseball coach has every right (and duty) to set high expectations for his team ...... if this includes mandatory practices (as is the case with all sports I have coached), so be it ..... to question whether or not the coach has the right to make such a schedule, or expect his players to attend ...... that's what led me to believe that the poster had not coached at the scholatic level ...... (yes, it is different than coaching kids, which I have also done) so my props go to the Turner Bears Coaches, all of them ...... hang in there and Good Game!
