Tavis McMillan has flaked on his commitment to coach at Minnetonka HS. He has accepted a position with one of the pro teams to do scouting work in the area.

Does anyone know why he went looking for another job after making a commitment to Minnetonka?

Don't fret, Pat Quinn is still available. All the boosters need to come up with is $2,996,000. Pass the plate gentlemen. Let's Get R Done!

Heard that Younghans is still interested in the position. Bet they could get him for half of what Quinn needs.

I believe Younghans compensation requirements are a case of beer a week and a date per month.

I would love to see him coach Minnetonka. He would create intensity.

This would be interesting. I think he would do a very good job.

Besides the energy Younghans would bring, he would bring another important element to Minnetonka...loyalty...15 years at EP and 4 at Wayzata. What a horrible example the kids from Mtka have had to endure..Pauly and McMillan.

You are dead on. He is a tremendously loyal person. He was an old school hockey player. Skate through a brick wall for his team. Minnetonka would benefit from having him step in. Hope it works out for both parties.

Tom Younghans is a great person and he would do a good job for Tonka. As to the "loyalty issue" and the "bad example" of Pauly and MacMillan - grow up toomanystiches.

In the big grown up world people leave for other job opportunities.

I don't think McMillan was there long enough to set a horrible example and I know what you mean about that SOB Pauly. He had the audacity to make Tonka a winning team after 10 years and got them to a State Tourney

What a horrible example he has set

"I don't think McMillan was there long enough to set a horrible example and I know what you mean about that SOB Pauly. He had the audacity to make Tonka a winning team after 10 years and got them to a State Tourney What a horrible example he has set"

Probably one of the better quips I have heard lately-funny.

Also let me be the 1st one to slap A.D on the back for making a mess of situation again--this appears to be strike 3 for him.1)bolin2)hillman3)mcmillan--good job--and this is a team that should contend for that section. By all accounts though I heard this is a team that can get over the debacle they have been apart of unfortunately and gel together at right time, we'll see. For the record I vote for Younghans also, but doubt it will happen.

Interesting post at "Chapman Resigns." Is Wally going to Minnetonka?

demongoed · Post by **demongoed** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 12:59 pm

How involved are any of the parents of players in this mess in terms of holding the AD accoutable? Sounds like Tonka has a chance to step up in the next few years, but the AD is successfully screwing it up. Is this typical of him over there? Any names being floated around?

flatontheice · Post by **flatontheice** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:20 pm

Wally wont ever...EVER...ever go to Minnetonka.

tomASS · Post by **tomASS** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 5:29 pm

I would point the finger at the parents before the AD - You don't think they insisted in being part of the process?

Tonka hired one of the assistant coaches from Pauly's staff. I don't know which one but this is the word.
