    Looks like the AD cleared him and the other coaches multiple times and then suddenly changed his mind? Unlikely. Sounds like the AD was pressured from the Super. Looking at the Super.'s history he wrote a 6 page letter complaining about his sons lack of ice time and wanting the coach fired. Super. has a soft spot for crazy?

    If he was a bad coach how why would so many kids and parents be backing him?

    Sounds like crazy parent pulling the strings.
    Hello coach that got fired! How are you?

      Cudmore noted that "we actually go out of our way to avoid conflicts of interest. If a girl plays in the club I work at I don't make decisions about those players. We compartmentalize things so that we can be as fair as we can be."

      That doesn't solve the issue though. If a player plays for a rival club, you might be more inclined to make a negative assessment of them, thus a conflict.

        Except in Villa’s case, where every player in another club is better...

          Has anyone seen the Andover parents sideline antics? Just because they practice the offside trap doesn't mean that every play is offsides.

                What a mess Andover is.

                This is about JV. Sure, JV should take a lot of kids, maybe 22, but no more, and certainly, there should be cuts. And, there's no problem with the JV coach making cuts if that's what the head coach wants.

                If you don't want a history teacher coaching your soccer team, then you are stuck getting coaches with club affiliations, because how else are they going to pay their rent? On a JV coach's salary? Sure, if a player plays club, have the head coach or another coach evaluate that player, to diminish the chance of favoritism, but you have to figure club players are going to be stronger than players who don't play club at all.

                In the end, schools should provide reasonable cover for coaches against allegations by hyper protective helicopter parents who are upset lil didums got cut from a team on which he failed to earn a spot.

                    For sure. Sounds like there's more to this JV coach thing than meets the eye. Maybe the kid who was cut* is their neighbor or something.

                    *if you're cut from JV there's a reason for it. Maybe run cross country or take up theater.

                      dumb

                      It’s Abbey Villa-they’re all JV players

                      AVSC has sent more players to DA from last two years than GPS and GPS has 4,000 players in MA alone=]

                        And Rip Van Winkle awakens to end the debate. All the proof you need that DA is full of cones.
