Eddie--<br>Thanks. The NCAA is definately a piece of work thats for sure. The school and coaches can get out of a scholorship after a year but the student-athlete can get punished or have to sit out a year for opting out. Personally, I'd love to see a free one time transfer for every athlete. Kids m...

The NLI must be signed by every scholoarship athlete, not just 95%. Also, there exists a financial aid form that must be signed to renew the scholorship every year. Though many athletes believe that there scholoarships are for four or five years they are not. They must be signed and renewed every ye...

I skated with Fairchild on an outdoor rink over the holidays and two minutes into the game I asked who the kids was. He is a big time talent and will look great in an East jersey. I thought he had to already be playing for East when I asked who he was. He has great hands and is a very good skater. D...

Must have been an interesting night in Duluth. Glad to see some rights have occured throughout this whole process. I feel terrible for the Wentworth staff and I believe many people do. I would urge both sides to rally together around the East program right now. The entire situation has been unfortun...

What to do now is the big question? Personally, I would like to see the grievance process be what puts Randolph back in as coach so that some of the politics are left out of it. But then what? I would love to see Randolph keep as much of last years staff on board with him if thats possible. I imagin...

Brooke, Jr----<br>You are correct that not having contracts renewed does happen everyday. However, one thing to keep in mind is that high school coaching is basically a volunteer job. No high school coach is getting rich or making their livelyhood from coaching. So, why be so harsh about the real wo...

Here is the link to Mary Camerons article. Makes it seem there were people out for Randolph thats for sure.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthtribune/news/opinion/8445431.htm" target="top">www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthtribune/news...

Thanks for the great updates. As I felt from the beginning, it seemed a wrong was done. Glad to hear things are looking up for the Randolph camp (not that any of us are anti-Wentworth in any way). If everything goes according to what Star Trib had to say that would be great news taht due process cam...

Lee--What about your take on the grievance process? It would seem to me he has a great shot at winning this. Anytime a teacher applies for a position they should get it before someone from outside the district. If nothing wrong was found than his application should have been valid and given the job ...

Lee--<br>Yep, I was writing a reply and when I hit "Add reply" the next screen that came up was that either the post I was repling to was deleted or mine was. I know I was done writing it and tried to post it but it wouldn't work and then I tried going back but by then my message was gone....

Lee--<br>Thanks. Its funny because in my reply to him I said I'm sure you just got yourself banned for attacking me. Character thats for sure. I just though some might have enjoyed reading about my take on recruiting, cutting seniors for 8th graders, wreath sales, and players playing football. <br><...

Lee- I know that you deleted the post I was replying about with a long reply that coudn't be posted but is their a way that my reply could be put on and I will take out the aspects directed to dropdamitts. I felt it was worth talking about on this topic. If not I understand and I appreciate you dele...

LSandA--<br>Inform us a little on why you are a memberof the anti-Randolph campaign. You seem bitter (calling a man a baby) and I'm wondering where it's coming form? Also, I have yet to see any writer on this topic write about a players talent, like you are claiming? Rudy, offered points that have s...

I don't know all the behind the scenes things and I'm sure none of us really do, but I'm pretty sure that the books being opened and things were in regards to the DEHAA aspect of it. For those of you that don't know that is the Alumni Association that does quite a bit of fundraising for the program....

LWo---Thanks I appreciate your help. I understand he wasn't fired but in all essence he really was from his coaching position. No other coach from another position has ever had their contract not renewed when it came to coaching so why did it start with him.<br><br>Also--as far as I know he complied...

Well, I'm sure that some of you have been expecting some more comments from me so here goes.<br><br>Crazy how a group of athletes who just finished a great year where they played don't want to rock the boat. Of course this years team will support Randolph especially because many of them probably did...

Things are always interesting up North. The whole situation is messed up but hopefully the school board or the grievance will give Randolph his job back. I would feel bad for Coach Wentworth, however he is a good guy and will understand. <br><br>It's interesting how they keep talking about the wreat...

If Marshall wants to play East so bad then move up to Double AA and they will probably play twice. Thats really all it would take. They are a private school and East does not have much to gain by playing them. If they lose they have the potential of losing more players and teh emberassment. So, if p...

What happened to Coach Randolph does rile me up.<br><br>I do understand your point however being cut can be a great thing and such a learning experience. I was there as a kid as I was cut from both PeeWee A and Bantam A teams but playing B's only made me better and more confidant. Thankfully, I got ...

LSand A--If you don't want to take place in reading about this then don't. This IS an open forum where we can discuss anything related to HS Hockey. <br><br>You are right coaches lose jobs and players get cut but most of the time its for a reason. A player can get cut for a ton of reasons and its to...

One of the bigger issues is that if a teacher applies for a coaching position he/she is supposed to (I believe guaranteed) the position if they are the only internal candidate. In other words if you are a teacher within the school district and you are the only one that applies for the job you should...

Eddie--You can't just lay that little tip out there and not tell us if he has applied for the other positions? He did start out as a Hunter and brought them to a state tourney? It would be interesting to him coaching against East. Also, makes you wonder if any players would jump ship and head wheree...

Both coaches are great but what happened to Randolph is wrong. Anyone who gives fifteen years of his life to one program, and gets canned for no reason would be upset and would want their job back. He deserved to coach until he decided he didn't want to coach anymore. He is a great coach and a great...

Sounds like he is really considering a few of these offers. Coaching runs deep with him and if he takes a job whoever gets him is very lucky. I'll be a fan of where ever he goes though it will not seem right seeing him behind any bench other than the Hounds. Interesting thats for sure.<br> <p></p><i...

Just wondering what people think of this development? Also, he makes comments about job opportunities in the Twin Cities. Do people still believe this to be Minnetonka? <br><br>Here is the link to the article from the News Tribune. I hope this works. If not could someone figure it out for me. Thanks...
