Why are districts so willing to push out coaches that have great track records and are so dedicated to the program? I look at Sayville and have to cross my fingers and hope that doesn't happen in my district.


If 2 or 3 people complain enough, skittish AD's and superintendents will cave to the pressure. High School lax is crazy now. Look at the last few years....SWR, Sayville, Glenn, Sachem North, Huntington, HHHW, and a don't forget Smithtown West a bunch of years ago. Not one of these coaches deserved to be out of a job. These were coaches that put in a huge amount of time for their programs, but were treated poorly. It's HS not the pros. IMHO


Sometimes the coaches think it's the pros and not high school. They take liberties that they shouldn't.


Parents are way too involved with the management side of HS sports. When a coach has invest 10+ years in a winning program and is beloved by the vast majority of players, a few parents of kids who are unhappy their kid isn't playing should NOT be able to cause the removal of said coach. Parents really need to stand up and support the great, committed coaches because they deserve our support.


That may have helped in a recent situation, but only 3 did.
