North Davidson vs West Davidson

Maybe sometimes when kids move to another school, people should stop and evaluate why? In some cases it is crazy parents or delusional kids that believe they are better than they are. Not referring to the case you mentioned above but sometimes legit reasons exist:

If a coaching staff is not willing to be "ALL IN" to improve a program
If a coaching staff does not reach out to college coaches about players who could play at some level
If the Administration does not support athletics
If no improvements to facilities, equipment, etc. ever happen

If you aren't about getting things better, you may want to stop and re-evaluate the "whys" of why you coach.

Excellent post!

Coaching is about teaching boys to become men through sports. Its not all about winning, but it IS about overcoming adversity and learning to be successful against certain odds. Those who make excuses or are unwilling to adapt from failure should be demoted or fired and never allowed to be in a position of leadership. Excuses are for losers. Adapt and overcome, that's the way of the world.

Certainly creating a culture that focuses on doing what it takes to win and excel often leads to winning.

However, in the High School realm the statement you mentioned, "Those who make excuses or are unwilling to adapt from failure should be demoted or fired and never allowed to be in a position of leadership." does not often apply as often as it should as plenty of coaches that have little to no success stay in head coaching positions.
