As much as  I disagreed about the initial decisions, I honestly think that Mr.Lebo made the best out of the conclusion and acted just as promised.

Not picking on you, and if you can ever get away for a game night, let me know. Join me as my guest.

I am sure that you would enjoy the evening.

It is inspiring to me to see how much you still care about the sports programs and the city as a whole.

 

As you well know--we have much bigger fish to fry(and they are frying in the pan as we post).

It's over--we now have 2 new coaches and new groups of student/athletes to support

It's not like you attend the games

 

Mr.Lebo is doing his job(do you want him arrested also?)

The procedure went as anticipated and as it always goes

Did I like how it all went down? No--but I was not involved

Can't help it if a few adults mucked up everything un-necessarily(glad that I wasn't associated)

They all feel very badly about it

Time to let it go--move on

We have other city issues that are far more important(as you well know)

 

So--we are left with the remnants of a very devisive selection process, and will once again be starting over. Looking at our talent levels at 2011-12 schedules, I can't see football or hoops matching the last few years' level of success.

 

Still we must unite behind new coaches Everhart and Andrew to make their transitions as smooth and successful as possible. Those unhappy with their selection and the process are more than free to move on. They have spouted the talk--now walk the walk. We will move forward.

 

Maybe Mr.McCrabb from the MJ will print a correction/clarification to his front page piece detailing the bball coaching committee process and the alleged quotes atrributed to specific individuals.

 

If it is Butch, was he in the interview room?  Does he know Coach Andrews?  Can he say for cetain that Coach Miller was the better choice or is he just going by the threesomes recommendation.

 

My understanding is the MAJORITY of the committee preferred Coach Andrews. 

 

I am comfortable with MHS admin's choice. From what I have heard, Mr.Andrew interviewed the best of the final 3.  Don't assume that the majority of the committee was strongly behind the Ky.coach.

 

Seems the real "rigging" process was done by Mr.Darbyshire, Mr.Withrow and Mr.Cohen, who pretty much guaranteed the guy the job if he applied and showed up for the interview. Well--the "local guy" got the nod and these "movers and shakers" did not get their way for once. And of course, they are outraged and crying about it now.

 

Mr.Withrow is a great person, deep into actively working within the program. Mr.Darbyshire and Mr.Cohen are also rock solid citizens and supportive of the community, though pretty much "meddlers" in the mix. Kinda like the MMF invading the hiring process. The "meddlers" wery instrumental in getting the last coach removed by their constant complaining and back-stabbing. From what I heard, Mr.Darbyshire initiated a physical confrontation after the interviews. Sore losers most definitely. Well--welcome to the club around here as to not getting their way. If they all exit the program, we will be fine. Their loss in the big picture.

 

I rarely back Mr.Lebo--but I stand behind him here. The final choice was up to the athletic dept., not Mr.Cohen or Mr.Darbyshire. The fact that they can't deal with not getting their way is comical and incredibly telling and appropriate. Today's front page article is just depressing.

 

The Ky.candidate took a job at Louisville Male the following day--he had applied for that job and was already offered and ready to accept. 

 

The decision was made--why go this direction now? What is there to gain? Are these "meddlers" really caring about the program, or more so about their incredible egos?
