line drive

the players have lost all faith in the coaching staff along with the fans....time for change

In the past this would be a game to see the under classman get lots of playing time for jasper but now day's I dont know if jasper can beat orangefield.

it starts with fundamentals which jasper no longer teaches from 7th grade up.  The defensive scheme of 3x3 is a joke you allow lumberton and livingston to completely run through you. If everyone will remember last year in coffee with the coach he said we would hang our hat on defence. We'll he is not doing a good job of hanging his hat. If you notice our defence doesnt wrap up well its because these kids are never taught too. and they want us to build them a new stadium with this bond election...I dont think so...

[quote name="Yo Gabba" post="816547" timestamp="1278511016"] Wow are you serious???? You honestly feel it ok for the Jasper coach to blatently disregard a ruling by a District Admin. be asked to leave a game he is not supposed to be at, then sneak to the back field and watch the game, all the while on his cell phone to people in attendance to the game, and then when he gets caught doing that you complain that he is being treated unfairly....... [/quote] your info is so wrong yo gabba!!!  You need the truth before you pass judgement!!!!

[quote name="jasper_ump" post="815471" timestamp="1277934569"] I was an eye witness to the events in Jasper and Beaumont, I don't believe there is another side. [/quote] Wow what game were you at?  Even the crowed was cheering for the coach! 

Select coaches have done far worse pngpurple!!  The umpires expect them to question calls.  Oh no one charged the plate or the DA was never ignored.  You got the wrong info

Any attitude is OK as long as the qualifier is attached "he is doing it for the kids" Rules are in place for a reason...to be followed. This is a small example of a bigger problem in society. Authority is something that children and teenagers do not respect anymore. When a figure in their life shows that he can get ahead by having no respect for authority, it encourages them to do the same. If he truly is doing this for the kids, he would remember that his presence at the game is more important than his questioning of calls and total disregard for the rules. Rules are put in place for a reason. He chooses to be a part of an organization that falls under the Little League International umbrella. Therefore he should follow the rules and restrictions placed upon him by that organization and its officials...including local representatives. Yes, he is a volunteer coach, but he was arguing with volunteer umpires that traveled a good distance to umpire a game. They also volunteer their time for the good of the kids...and they get nothing win or lose. They do the best job that they possibly can. Umpires make mistakes just like players and coaches do. When was the last time you heard an umpire yell at a coach for leaving a pitcher in too long...or calling for a steal that did not work? When volunteers are used, mistakes will be made all around. This coach as well as everyone else involved needs to learn to respect the game and not blow little things out of proportion.

His team seems to love & respect him.  Thats all that matters.  This seems to be a one sided story [/quote]if he cared about the team, he wouldn't have given up his chance to be coaching them in all-star games. coaches are expected to act like the adults they are. [/quote]Are you kidding me!!!
