Re: Dallas Texans 02 Glotz
The only shocking angle to this whole sordid episode is the naivete of the Glotz parents who it seems completely swallowed the line about developing two strong but separate teams following DM's departure! All that ever matters is producing THE top Texans (RH) team on July 1st, 2012. All other teams are collateral in achieving this rather ruthless objective. End of story.RoidRage wrote:First off, the Sunday morning game.
Rowdies win first game 2-0....0-0 at halftime. Rowdies getting the better of Glotz, but Glotz hanging tough! In 2nd half Glotz starts subbing key starters and parents take notice.
Forward to Mondays semi final game. In first half Rowdies have wind and go up 1-0. Both teams playing tough and doing well. Glotz offence actually is putting shots on goal unlike day before.
In the 2nd half Glotz has the wind and is getting pressure on Rowdies and puts 2 goals in and goes up 2-1 with about 8 minutes left in game. At this point is where real controversy starts. Glotz mass subs 4 bench players for 4 starters. Parents eyes bug out! Of course Rowdies don't sub any players and score the equalizer.
1st overtime 10 min overtime half. Glotz puts 2 starters on bench for the entire first overtime period. Higgibotham keeps starters in whole period...no subbing by him. Glotz had wind game ends period still 2-2. Both teams get shots off.
2nd overtime 10 min overtime half. Higgibotham has wind and plays starters the whole half never once puts a bench player in for the entire overtime...either half. Glotz bench's his starting midfielder and starting forward(best scorer). Higgibotham scores with 8 min left in period. You think Glotz puts 2 starters back in game...especially his top forward? Nope, both starters never see the field. Instead Glotz subs in 2 bench players. Puts one at forward and moves another girl that's a starter at defender and puts her at forward(a position she hasn't played in over a year). And to top it off he moves his left footed forward back to defender. Parents going crazy hoping he puts in top forward(already has 1 goal), but no can do.... she stays on bench along with starting midfielder with the game on the line!
Rowdies win. Glotz parents think he didn't want to beat his boss, end of story!

yes you are correct but it all leads up to winning, if your playing up then its to challenge your team, everything else is linked on how to develop your team into a winning team

Its a very Cynical club. You eather like or dont. Your DD's money paves the way for the top team. They want 2 top 5 teams in the 02 world. But it will never happen. The Ex-Glotz parents will never let that happen. They are to good to play 2nd best to Higg. If I was a parent on that team I would leave now. Its not worth the time and energy to play 2nd best on a club that will never allow you to beat their top team. Not to say they could of won that game. The Higgs girls are very very good. But from what I herd they will never be allowed to beat them. Beacuse the Money comes first then DD's second.
If that is all true, I wonder how that will trickle down to the '03 teams? By far the best DT team is the Adames team. However I have heard that team is not going to any other coach if Adames has anything to do with it.

Re: Dallas Texans 02 Glotz
Man coaching is hard. Hard on the coach, hard on his family. Whether the pressure from the club or the parents is what got to him, I gotta believe Glotz is going to enjoy life much more now. I am sure he loves his team and loves most of the aspects of coaching his team. But, sometimes it just becomes too much, and it's just not worth all the work, complaining, stress from above, and missed family time.
I can almost guarantee his wife is doing back flips.

I bet she is too. Of course, he seems to be a good coach...he could take a team at another club or something.

Re: Dallas Texans 02 Glotz
Yes tournament are not alway used to win. But when you play the number 2 or 1 rank team. You play to win. Glotz might of wanted to see how some of the girls reacted to big games. Wrong time to try it. He is a good coach, but the best coach got his way Monday morning.Blank77 wrote:Tournaments are not always played to win.

These Parents should not be mad or upset at the coach but mad at the club for losing this game. The Dallas Texans Club in the past has asked their coaches to sway the game one way or another especially when it comes to the "Rowdies". It is my opinion that Glotz was told to sit his top players for that game, there is no other reason for putting good players on the bench.
I have friends that had a DD play for a Dallas Texans team a few years ago and was told that the Club "requested" the Team to throw a game so that another Dallas Texans team could win. This club behavior was brought up back when it originally happened, but one good/bad thing was that Coach did not listen and his career with the Texans hasn't been the same. I am sure you can ask around and find out how often this occurs without the parents knowledge.
This is a sad situation for all. Heard this coach was great on the field and off.

I've got this in a nutshell: after a #4 ranked Academy team loses 3-2 in overtime to the #3 ranked Academy team, a bunch of sideline geniuses who think they can do it better decide that the coach doesn't know what he's doing, (because God forbid an Academy coach play his bench/put fresh legs in after 5 games in 48 hours, and, really, coaching a team to top 5 status in age group in NTX is easy). Parents of starters then proceeded to second-guess and go all high-maintenance, top-team-soccer-parent vocal because they felt they were wrongly denied the chance to shout "We're #1", and they really, really, really wanted that. They questioned his motives and bitched, bitched, bitched, and Coach said, "Ciao."
Academy "starter" parents who don't like to see their girls come off the field should watch what they ask for -- someday their girl might find herself on the bench with glue on her butt. Also, ya'll know what happens to Academy teams that don't play their bench? -- 1) Word gets around, and no one wants their dd to be on that bench; so then, 2) they either have a mightly slim bench, or, they have no depth off the bench, (and neither of these do a team any favors come signing day). Chances are good that here where a top 4 team is involved, the player(s) that the starters' parents begrudge play time in 'critical' moments could go out and earn a spot on and bring much strength to any team she wanted, (and that spot might not be on the bench). Maybe keeping such players around has as much value as a $3 trophy and the opportunity to claim the #3 ranking spot, however so briefly? (Just a thought).
I can't always explain some of JG's game day switch ups either -- sometimes they work ('He's a genius!), and sometimes they don't ('Why the F did he do that?'). I do know that JG tells his players that they play as a team, and they lose as a team. And, he plays his bench.

Idiot soccer parents and their conspiracy theories suck. In the end, the ones who will be most negatively impacted by their idiocy is their own dds. What goes around, comes around.

Does Glotz still have other teams at DT, or was this the only one? It sounds like he walked away from this team, not all of them?

Ralf is dead on point. Shame this stuff happens, but not surprised. History suggests that the '02's will see at least 2-3 more similar situations in the next 10 months.

Re: Dallas Texans 02 Glotz
RH was intentionally going to sit his bench the entire game in order to anger the parents and get them to leave the team. Meanwhile JG was going to do some head scratching substitutions during crunch time that he know would enrage his parents. The ensuing post-game parental tongue lashing would give JG the opportunity to resign allowing RH to swoop in to the vaccuum and swipe up the top 4 or 5 Glotz players who never would've left Glotz to join a Rowdies team under normal circumstances. Of course RH has 4-5 slots open on his team because he p.o.'ed the parents of the bench kids. The combined team vaults to the top of the '02's and makes RH a hero once again at Texans. My source told me that JG wasn't exactly thrilled by this but RH is his boss, and offered JG use of his parking spot at Ross Stewart for the next 6 months. It was an offer JG couldn't refuse.
