I was going to talk trash, but I changed my mind.
What Spike says is partially true.
The principal actually gave the players their walking papers and not the coach. I guess Smith doesn't have enough guts to kick the players off himself.
But this is what I know or been told:
Smith and his current cronies never gained any respect from the players as Smith and his current cronies never built a relationship with the players. Things got heated and certain players went after his "Throat". Can you blame them? I for one don't condone this action what so ever. Being an former athlete, this is totally unacceptable on the players. Also, it is totally unacceptable that Smith and his group of cronies never built a "Real" relationship with those boys and do not care of having one. I know for a fact that there is no relationship between the players and coaches, and one parent already posted on facebook that certain cronies of Smith talk about the players.....
Now that the dirty laundry is being aired out, was the volunteer coach that resigned in the wrong for saying what he said, when you got coaches feeling and saying what they feel? Hmmm, talk about being bias.
I will support Albemarle, but I will not and I mean "I will not support this current staff and thuggish attitude from players". No way, no how.
I have said it before that "Some FREAKING body has to take responsibility here" whether it be the coaches or the players. What you have is a bunch of women going backwards and forwards with each other and getting nothing done.
I keep it 100%, been doing it since I found this "Little" board.
