Respect IS earned; but you cannot make a teenager respect anyone, if that teenager hasn't been raised properly.

lol these HS coaches age paid a maximum stipend of 7k per year. They don’t need to be told any of what you azzhats feel like dishing out. If you want a coach who will develop a program and win championships give him a full time job in the school and the keys to the program.
That’s how it’s done.
No coach getting paid a 7k stipend at MAX is going to sit there and let parents players orAD ruin there life.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt seems that there is really no respect for coaches these days. The pendulum has swung so far to the other extreme. It is not fair to coaches who have dedicated so much of their energy and life to a program. They are not even allowed to defend themselves in public.
I don't want to go back to the days where coaches acted with impunity but everyone should take a step back from the precipice.

Last week one of the boys did not follow the coaches direction regarding his position and formation. He was subbed out (possibly said something to the coach about his formation - not confirmed). Coach dressed him down publicly on the sideline for players and spectators to hear. Player either quit team or was kicked off (not entirely sure). The next day another player elected to leave the team as well. My understanding is parent took exception as to how child was treated and spoken to. Coach has a reputation of doing things “old school”. A “my way or the highway” type of coach. My two cents: player was in the wrong. Also believe the way we were coached 20 years ago is no longer accepted (you can argue that one forever). Coach had many successes but in recent years not so much (last year was a good year for them but no hardware). Too bad coach could not have retired gracefully. Sucks for him and sucks for the boys. No one wins here.

There really wasn’t anything else. No other players were going to quit. I think coach got tired of complaining parents and did not feel totally supported by administration.

There are sucky players getting more minutes than some of the better players. It’s very noticeable. Kids with horrible first touch, poor dribbling and passing skills, zero vision, inability to work under pressure, slow speed of play, poor judgement. But he sees something special in them. It’s very obvious that he has favorites in how he interacts with them. Lost my respect.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere must be more than just described. I am sure this coach has not changed his style or manners in a long time. I would bet more players were ready to quit the team over this. Bad precedent set by the Guilford AD to allow players to walk all over coach. Congrats to coach for not standing for this. Kids in CT or just terrible. No wonder the ratio of players making d1 sports is so low for this entitled state.
The kids have changed and so have the parents- neither are willing to work for what they want
Working thru tough times is taboo, team goals have been replaced by personal ones and most times it’s the parents goals and not the players.

At our school the AD is a football centric Dbag and he could care less about hiring a qualified soccer coach. Meanwhile we are literally surrounded by club coaches as parents. Kudos to the club coaches (parents) that say nothing and just pray that the season ends without injury

There are many quality coaches in HS and there are plenty of bad ones. Be thankful if you have one of the quality ones. A coach that is knowledgeable but can also relate to young men or women in an appropriate manner. I don’t think any coach says to him/her self, “I am going to pick this player because I am friends with their parents.” However, coaches can be influenced by pressure if they don’t have a strong picture in their mind on what they want. A coach with vision and that works hard. I think if you find that coach he/she is probably a respected coach.

I don't know the details, but here is what I can share...
1) POSSIBLY said something to coach
2) NOT SURE if he quit/kicked off team
3) HERE IS WHAT I THINK
You are all so laughable!!

Here's an awful situation - Senior's Night in H.S. soccer sans seniors. Yes agree H.S. is a disaster but moving past that - Senior's Night where H.S. coach doesn't change his starting line up or formation (plays same number/names of senior starters since first game of the season) and subs out with juniors, sophomores, and even a freshman but no seniors from the first minute till nearly the bitter end. Isn't till 5 minutes and 2 minutes left in game - he subs in remaining 9 bench players who are seniors (all 4 year veterans of the program). Oh and team had a lead of 2-0 into the half and 3-0 into last 20 minutes. And the game was meaningless for seeding and conference finals. Full disclosure, my kid is neither a senior or a starter, and I get coaching is not for the faint of heart - parents are a pain, teachers a pain, ADs and students are a pain, but some times there are self-inflected wounds. Come on man!

I guess when you call it senior's night - you get what you paid for, or blow back from lack of truth in advertising. HS soccer is a joke in and of itself - let alone when taken in light of the CT soccer landscape. Just look to - CJSA or ODP, or how the plague of pop-up premier clubs continues to destroy establishment of a true pipeline of talent, and encroachment from GPS to the north, or NYCSL to the south. Layer on that the usual OW vs. BS and ECNL vs. NPL talking soccer fun and you've got the mess CT is - too much circus for to small a state.
