Re: coaches
Well then...when a team loses why blame the coach. Don't kid yourself a coach can win or lose a game. Happen to watch AHA v Moorhead a few years back. One guy OUTCOACHED the other and won the big prize.Tigers33 wrote:When it comes down to it players win championships, not coaches...
So....your premise is just plain WRONG.

The fact of the matter is, Brad Ryan won, as bad as it sounds, in this day and age, a Minnesota high school hockey coach is judged on whether or not they win. There are a ton of high school coaches who are hard on players, in all sports, so it shouldn't be a huge shock for a player to be yelled at during practice or a game. Now I have no idea what went on behind closed doors at Orono, and I'm not about to place blame on coaches, players, parents, administration, etc. But I do know that the same thing happened to Orono's baseball coach, now that, at least for me, brings up a red flag based on the fact that the Athletic Director is making decisions based on commentary from parents, without maybe knowing the true story. I know a lot of the details regarding Orono's baseball coach, and he did not deserve to lose his job, the players lied to parents, and parents complained to AD, and AD fires coach. Not saying the hockey players lied, but it seems to be a very similar situation.

Re: coaches
You have got to be joking right? That win had nothing to do with coaching. Moorhead dominated the game from start to finish. AHA had the best goalie and a goalie that stood on his head the entire tournament. 2 of Barribals (sp) goals were short handed on bonehead plays by the Moorhead defense. AHA was out shot by a large margin in every game in that years tournament. AHA had a GREAT effort from the goal tender that year.Undercover Hockey Lover wrote:Well then...when a team loses why blame the coach. Don't kid yourself a coach can win or lose a game.
