Had absolutely nothing to do with working with other sports and everything to do with working with the new principal at MC. I’ve coached and been around high school ball in NC and FL for over 20 years and this guy is hands the most clueless principal I’ve ever heard of. What Metzger had to deal with this year (best season since the school opened) was absolutely ridiculous. Let me go through a few examples for you:
-Metzger was sent home from school on a 2 day suspension on a game week and not allowed to communicate with coaches or players during that time for telling a player during a team meeting he needed to be more coachable. And no, there was nothing more to that story, no foul language, no screaming or yelling (I have first hand knowledge of this)
-Principal said a few parents expressed concerns about player injuries and that they believe it’s because they don’t warmup properly. Asked Coach Metzger to reassess warmups due to parent concerns (not a single player missed a game due to muscle strains or pulls)
-Principal Questioned Coach as to why he was having a 6:30am coaching staff meeting when the work day doesn’t start until 7:30. Said that Metzger could not require coaches to come in before school
-Principal Called Coach immediately after a road game win to discuss playing time of a backup because the parent called the principal during the game to complain.
These are just a few that stand out. I would caution anyone who looks into this job to stay FAR FAR AWAY as long as this Principal is there.
