Week 3 LHGCL Picks & Commentary

What's wrong with you people? Think of it as anybody mistreating your kid, and on top of it paying for it. I would jump his a#& and raise a big stink. Where's your dignity? To hell with worried and afraid to speak up. This bully needs a kick in the rear and show him the way out. What's so wonderful about him? If your kids is as good as you say, then other teams will sign them in a heartbeat. Losing the rest of the season to me is better than having to pay him to bully your dear 12 year old and scar her for a long time. How do you know the new coach is going to mistreat your kid? Can't be any worse than already is. You guys jump his case as a group and demand a new teacher of the sport. One who has respect and treats your kids with dignity.

Just speaking devil's advocate but say several leave a team they have been with years the enjoy parents and enjoy other girls and feel like family, say they leave and a week later a new coach takes over , you've made a big move and removed your dd from long terms friends and the problem was resolved. Maybe some are sticking it out thinking a solution is around the corner. Seems to be a tight group of kids and parents.

So true….how long would these same parents put up with even half of this from a teacher.

If the parents don’t demand a coaching change or they do not look to move their dds- then they really do belong together. Plus I am sure this talented group of girls will turn things around and start winning again and of course that will fix everything. After all isn’t that the most important thing.

RH made a personal apology to JS. No formal complaint made. Crisis averted.

Maybe JS called him 'schmoopy-pants' or one of the others from his long list of terms of endearment?

You might want to tell LH that because there's a hearing this week. Even scrambled a poor dad up to testify, imagine the pressure there.

Well that's one way to get your kid ahead. Probably pretty smart move.

Footage from today's hearing:

Yes that is accurate footage of the parent speaking in the coaches defense  

About right. Seems Texans have a way of ripping teams up -well maybe just certain coaches . Plotting kids against each other , ripping core groups apart, establishing few go to favorites regardless of soccer ability, now you can get ahead by just sucking up? . Any older teams want to chime in? Texans Glotz had tons of talent. Their demise only made FCD and STING stronger, not a smart move on Texans part. Big guys are so uninvolved on girls side, they have nt idea what girls coaches are doing to top teams. 4 or more kids will no doubt leave this team at end of season or before. This was set to be best team they have had in a while, will be interesting to see where they will be at end of the year. I believe Solar, Sting and , FCD will be a little stronger and South will be the top Texans team. Sad. Bypassing IF looks to be big error now. That national title seems to be getting little further out of reach with each dumb move, but closer for Solar and FCD.

Do you have a vested intrest in helping to tear our team apart?There are few people who post in here under a 'REGULAR USER NAME" from our team -me being one-. I think if we all could talk to you in person we'd tell you to shut up, quit airing dirty laundry (all teams have it) and ride out the tough times. Our team has had a lot of success over years-we lose two games and it's public warfare-Come on now.

Most teams do not have dirty laundry. But there are still some folks who are bitter about the Glotz break-up. I'm surprised that it took this long for one of the "Glotz-ites" to poke their head up.

In any case, LH '02 D1 is more competitive with Texans Higg together rather than being split apart with players going in all directions. The league benefits with more highly competitive teams rather than fewer competitive teams.

Is there a Glotz kid even left on Higg for someone to care?

dirty laundry to me means things like: who gets along, who doesn't, who yells and coaches from sideline when they shouldn't, who thinks their kid should be playing somewhere else or starting. What parents get on your nerves, who does coach favor, who misses frequently , etcetcetc. And yes EVERY team has that to some degree.

When is the hearing?

Best way to keep this team together is change coaches which ain't hard to do. Obvious that the coach is damaged goods, whether you like him or not.

A coach pushing anyone on the sideline is unacceptable period.
If a parent did this they would face stiff punishment.
I believe there was an altercation between 01 parents last season in the parking lot of UTD and they were dealt with quickly and harshly. What is the difference in this case?

Amen.

3 game suspension for RH

$100 fine and apology to opposing team, also.
Seems minor , I'm assuming star( rigged ) witness didn't help much.

A bird told me the exchange went like this. Coach S doesn't shake hands when he loses. Coach H knew this. Game over coach S extends hand for shake. Coach H says "Oh! So now you want to shake hands" coach S didn't like the comment, turned and touched coach H with the shoulder. Coach H shoved him.

If that is true, what a poor display of sportsmanship on both sides! Is this who we want setting an example for our children? Pretty pathetic IMO.

I heard that when JS walked-up to shake hands, he unknowingly stepped on a fire ant mound. RH saw where JS was standing and pushed JS off the mound to protect him from harm. What a crazy misunderstanding!

Srarting forward left Texans with full release . practicing with Solar . Let the Games begin-will people follow their lead?
