I believe the Flashes have a new AD in Joe Crawford.
This corner applauds the move.

Joe is a quality guy. He loves sports and he seems really driven, I bet he'll do a great job. And for the people who don't know, he will be leaving a job with the Brewers in MLB to be able to spend 52 weeks with his family. It really is a great story to be honest.
Something else positive that is going on---Private funds are being raised and a complete gutting and revamping of the HS weight room is in the near future for WHS athletes. I've seen the long list of items in these plans and it will be 21st century all the way with all brand new modern equipment and training techniques and a highly motivated instructor coaching it. I've seen the New Football Coach is now in town and he is promoting getting in the weight room. These are some positive steps that were sorely needed for us to be able to compete better in all sports.

I never could understand reason to make a change, however if you put up a vote to the board on whether or not oxygen is beneficial to humans it would probably end up 3–2

Success of a program can typically be directly related to the talent of the players as well as the coach.

The developement of a player's talents can typically be related to a coach's talents.

I agree with my2sons---Wins may not come in any sport basically because the talent collectively isn't strong enough,,and I agree it's not necessarily the Coach's fault. But he is correct in that---regardless of sport, team or school,,player development and improvement can be in fact on the coach. I'm not saying this is the case here one way or the other---just saying it is possible to see if a coach is doing his job well or not. Regarding WHS hoops, I can't say because, I haven't seen enough games to form an opinion personally.

All can be true, but unfortunately in today's times the influences off the court and at a player's home can disrupt some progress and sabotage the development of a player and team. Maybe not in this case as buckeye kid said but it can happen.

Didn't the 2014-15 team have 2 first team all NOL performers and they finished what 5th or 6th? It should be on the coach to be able to coach up kids to make for a highly competitive team to surround that. I know they also had a kid quit the team that year as well (could have been a possible 2nd teamer). Most coaches in the league should be able to turn 2 first teamers into a top 3 at the very least. Not sure you can say Willard hasn't had the talent to compete.

It is on the coach to coach up kids. That's why some get fired. But having 2 all-league players is not all that is needed for success. If the other 3-8 players can't step up on occasion when needed you end up with 2 good league players.

I understand defending a friend (or person you like). After awhile, you are just not doing the kids a favor. Long's time should be up.

Actually I'm defending the position. Everyone thinks they can do it but very few are capable to do it well but many feel they can give advice on how it can be done better.

So then once a person gets a head coaching job, he/she should be able to keep it until they retire or die? Of course a lot of people think they can do it. When they find out that they can't, they should step down. Then they can apply for the Willard job.
As hard as the job is, you should still be held accountable. A coach Long's team? Start out decent in 1st, disappear in the 4th. The kids tired of playing, or the coach tired of coaching? That is the way it has been since he's been there.

my2sons you have been negative on Long and his hiring for years. My guess is your an upset "helicopter" parent that felt like his kids did not get the PT you think they deserved. Because of this, Long has became the focal point of your attacks. Instead why dont you just face the fact your kids probably were not that good. As far as his teams go, I think he has lost what...2 games in his 4 years against schools of similar size or smaller. I say give him a chance in the SBC and then make assessments of his coaching abilities. He also deserves to choose a competent assistant instead of having one thrown on him as he had when they hired Vennerucci to be his assistant.

Human nature. It's up to us to control bias and see things objectively which is what I try to do. It's taken me off a few Christmas card lists over the years which is why I say less & less.

What I am saying is there are a bunch of parents, possibly like yourself, who directly take away from a teams chemistry or undermines a coach's authority by what is said at home or around players. IT is very obvious your attention is on getting a coach out rather than cheering for a team or your kid.

I believed that Long was a poor hire. Still do. I've never had kids attend Willard schools. I don't attend parent's meetings discussing how to get rid of a coach/coaches. If my goal was to get a coach removed, it wouldn't be from this site. The 1st thing I would do is bombard the Times-Junction with letters to the editor. ConcernedCitizen, you are so wrong that I won't even address anything you said. One more thing. There is nobody on this site or the previous one that can say that I don't support the Willard kids. THAT is why I was angry with the hiring of Long. The school had a chance to hire a good coach, and they fumbled.

You are like the person who takes only certain verses from the Bible in an attempt to prove what you are saying, while ignoring the ones before and after. I'm not doing a WF with you. Go ahead and have the last word.

Listen? I'm reading what you have written. I got it, you don't have kids at Willard and do not attend meetings. But as you said you didn't want the current coach to get the job before he got it. The results of his years as a head coach did not matter to you as you did not like him for the job before he ever got it.

Listen? Too funny. I'll tell you what I wanted. I wanted Willard to put the same amount of effort in hiring a basketball coach as they have claimed they have in hiring a football coach. Then, if Long earned the position, instead of having it handed to him, so be it.
Long has done nothing since he has had the job. Defend him all you want before he got the job. I understand that. If you want to talk about what is best for the kids, and at the same time defend Long, the two don't go hand-in-hand.
You just can't admit when you're wrong. Like I admitted I was wrong when Ohio State hired Tess.

You said I was not listening but how can you listen to what someone types. Thus my response. Listen?
As someone who has no kids in the district and does not attend parent meeting maybe you should become a little more connected to the situation. How many people applied for the position 3 years ago? How many coaches have the interest in coaching at Willard? With that in mind, how many people are moving into the school district because they want to live and raise their families in Willard?

Goodbye, scooter. If it will shut you up, you win.
This topic was about the hiring and renewing Long. Just like every topic you get involved in, this is how it ends up.
Go ahead, and have the last word.
