home grown talent?

"If I were Tinkle, or Huse, I would be very insistent for public schools to commit to finding and getting better coaches in place. The coaching just is not there these days."

"That's interesting. My HS hired a BB coach in the mid 90's primarily to be the coach and to teach secondarily. He was awful at both. Took one of our more formidable teams the years after I graduated and had them lose out of districts when they had been ranked in the top 10 in the state. I felt bad for the players as they worked hard but he was a dink. Sometimes you just don't know what you are going to get."

"That's why you see Montana HS football coaches "develop" kids, while basketball coaches do not. This phenomenon is happening all over the country, not just Montana (though that doesn't necessarily excuse the quality of Montana HS basketball coaches)."

Being a current Montana HS coach with 18 years of varsity basketball experience you 3 stooges are the exact reason why no one whats to coach anymore. Who wants to take crap from a bunch of "experts" like yourself and get paid near minimum wage to do it. Maybe all 3 of you are former coaches that couldn't cut it but I doubt it- more like a bunch of fools that think going and watching a few games make them experts on basketball in Montana. When you point fingers at people -think about it- 3 fingers are actually pointing back a you.

You take the crap because you love the game and you care about the kids. You blow off everything else.

Spoken like a guy that has never coached high school or higher level athletics.

Coach John, I did not say "all coaches are bad". If you have been coaching 18 years, then you are a rare exception in Montana HS Basketball. For the most part, many Montana public schools lack quality basketball coaches.

I am also very aware of the reasons why teachers coach too. I do know many good coaches, which do not teach, and can accomodate coaching into their lives. Too many schools and comunities let poltics impact who coaches, and the kids are the ones who pay the price. I will leave it at that.

Why do you think many Missoula parents want their son to play at Hellgate now? It is because, Hayes is by far the best coach in Missoula. Hayes is a damn excellent coach

Funny how all you guys act like you're a doctor curring someone with cancer. I've seen the act from 9-10 baseball all the way up the ladder. The good coaches get it.

Jaguar, once again, where and when have you coached high school athletes? I will also add the coaching baseball is very different, especially the politics, than basketball and football.
