Yes, they have a new coach already, the players just me him at the Summer League game.Seemed likes a football guy

Freshmen and JV coaches leave all the time for various reasons. The JV Coach at Braddock though is said to be the lead candidate Chantilly's Varsity Girls job that just opened up.

Great for Coach Furr. A nice person and role model. He also had enough Of the Zoo at LB. best wishes. Lucky girls

No hires these days are suprising. But not the guy for the job.
Give it to another young buck that will put in the time off season.

There is no such thing as a leading candidate, that is only in your mind.

What is going on is that you don’t know how to write English properly. I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s your second language.

Uh oh the grammar police from LB is back.

what's really sad, M.C............is that you are probably wrong

Yes because only people from Lake Braddock, (and FCPS more specifically) know how to spell! Hardly. In fact, judging by this thread/site I’d argue the opposite.

Darn that evil Lake Braddock, running lives left and right from girls basketball to grammar!

Got me there! Though judging by their writing, I doubt the other poster will notice. Wait a minute, you can read AND write, you must have gone to Lake Braddock! ;)

All right, I’m going to be serious here for a minute... All this talk about how unfair the coach and the athletic director are got me thinking about something else I find unfair…

Lake Braddock (the body of water for which the school is named) isn’t really a "lake" at all! Have you seen it? It’s a POND! It and the school should be called “Pond Braddock”, or “Braddock Pond”.

Honestly, who in the world looked at that body of water and decided it was a lake? What is it, maybe 10 feet deep?

Perhaps this is the reason for the trouble going on! The school was named incorrectly and therefore the balance of things is all out of whack!

I suggest the name be changed to “Pond Braddock Secondary School” in order to right this wrong and bring equilibrium back to the school and its inhabitants!

Who’s with me?

I think renaming school will set it right. They can be Pond Pollywags

I know right? Burke Lake should also be changed to Burke Pond. It should be a crime to call these ponds lakes.

Let’s go Pollywogs, Let’s go!

HEHE, MC nice one! I see what you did there!

If we are going to rename school, wouldnt that be a great time for fresh leadership?

I have now decided More Complete should be new coach.

Yes JV staff left. Frosh too. They were not too fond of treatment of girls. Did not want to prepare good players like they had before and watch current coach bench them for kids who had never touched ball. Harsh but true.

The pomd idea actually is a great one. Ponds stink more than lakes just like this situation.

Yes! I bet I could straighten the whole thing out in a matter of minutes! I have no prior coaching experience but I’d let everyone play, and we could win the state championship! It would be like that movie Hoosiers! Only it would be girls instead of boys, and there wouldn’t be a town drunk to cheer us on, and it wouldn’t be in Indiana, and it would be at Lake Braddock which is a big school, in a big town and not a small school, in a small town, but other than that, exactly the same! I’m getting excited just thinking about it! When do I start?

I say you start next week.
Principal is Thomas.

I am serious.

Anybody who thought deeply enough about pond vs lake issue gets my vote.

This is destiny.

Where is the petition to become Pond Braddock. Name fits. ESP with all sports dram

The Frosh coach left to go back and coach at her old school. The new JV coach is not a football guy. He has been coaching basketball for more than 20 years in Connecticut and Virginia. He has been a travel D1 coach at SYA for the last 10 years and coached the Girls JV team at Centreville High School the last 2 years where he went 30-2. He does have varsity experience and I heard he will be a Varsity asst. at Lake Braddock.

I didn't know Dave Vennergrund was now at Lake Braddock. If the post is correct, he's good for a jv girls coaching position. Not a great coach though overall and I imagine he will clash with the current varsity girl's coach.

That whole SYA travel program on both the boys and girls side is as incompetent as they come. The board always picks fellow memebers to coach those teams and the teams usually underperform.

Sounds like new JV coach would be good at varsity. So who left varsity sTaff. Frosh coach thought LB program a joke so of course she went back to WS. Cold hArd truth.


I can guarantee there will be no 30-2 record at LB.

Anyone woykd choose the Gibson program

Well whether it translates to varsity or not remains to be seen, but this sophmore class coming up went 29-3 in their two years together at freshmen and jv, the program is getting better.

Last year 9 of the 13 girls on varsity were freshmen or sophmores and they went 9-15. That's REAL good for a young team like that. The dilemma will be there was no seniors on the team and with all 13 girls back what will happen to last years jv girls from the 13-3 team. Either way this program is being built up, the girls have varsity expereince which is incredibly valuable, I do not see why this coach is getting berated on here.

John was the assist. JV coach at Centreville, Dave V was the head coach

Dave Vennergrund and John Giannnelli were co-head coaches of the JV team. It came down to Tom Watson and John Giannelli for the Varsity Head coaching job. Centreville went with Tom Watson so I guess John Giannelli went to Lake Braddock. Lake Braddock vs Centreville first game of the season.

But he is JV coach

And it was POLITICS. Lets call it like it is. There were no seniors cause they all quit in disqust. Everyone knows this. Now the whole JV and frosh staff quit. This is not some coincidence.

Let me explain the difference between these two threads for those of you just joining us...

The baseball thread, or the football thread, (or any other thread about high school sports) generated about two dozen posts over a period of six months.

This thread generated that many posts in TWO DAYS! Why? Because it was/is the same person posting over and over. Any FFU regular could tell that there was something rotten in Denmark. A typical thread about school sports does not have that many responses. One could only assume that the thread starter was pretending to be different people in order to make it appear as if their point is one shared by many. Fact is, it is not. I just had to point that out. I find it comical that one could perpetrate such a façade and then act as if they were above reproach.

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming….

+1

Well I can tell you the jv coach leaving had nothing to do with disagreement toward the varsity coach. He is a finalist for the Chantilly job and if he does not get that did not want to coach jv anymore. The freshmen coach left because she lived closer to her new job and wanted to coach at her school, who wouldn't.

You are trying to make something out of nothing with all these coincedences. It is the same two or three parents posting again and again and again and again. The fact was it is a young team, they weren't playing the seniors so they quit, they weren't playing the jv players, then who were they playing? The big girl has developed quite a game, and just because some girls had a great jv team does not mean they will play right away on varsity. I may not know the whole story to Lake Braddock's program. Quite frankly I am not going to go read hundreds of meaningless posts by the same few people. I have seen these situations countless times where a few parents try to bully a young coach and think little Sara is a WNBA player. The fact of the matter is the program is getting better and will return lots of key players, lets judge them on how they do over the next couple years, not on the rebuild.

Fairly accurate although there are no such thing as finalists
This already is the next couple of years. There are NO key players, just 1.
Closer? West Springfield and Braddock are walking distance from each other.
The players quit because coach is a witch.

Well the school board got involved. SteveK, aka friend of the current coach.
You got the bullying all wrong. It was other way around.

None of this is worth it and neither are any of you
Your young coach mistreated kids.
Notice I did not say did not play.


Bottom line is why wouod anyone want to associated with this shamof a program and its out of control AD

Oh please, just STFU. If you think JV Girls or freshman basketball matters, you are delusional. Very few JV kids will ever play varsity in a FCPS school, and those that do, end up as varsity bench girls, unless they grow 6 inches between their freshman and soph years. And Freshman players in ANY FCPS school are so bad, its basically just a gym class with uniforms for them.

So take your grand conspiracy theories and shove em. You're an idiot, and just the same old parent stirring shit on this board for the last 5 months because your kid sucks and it has to be "someone else's fault". So you manufacture coincidences, "character" issues, and POLITICS to cover over the fact that your kid sucks at basketball.

There are no POLITICS at Lake Braddock, just one stud player, 3-4 young ones that want to be in the system and practice hard, and the typical 5-6 more that can do one or two things well that fill out any FCPS roster. None of the "seniors who quit" were any good anyway, including your daughter, you whiny dipshit.

What a nasty person and so mean about girls. But that is you.
Any idiot that says there are no politics at LB needs mental health counselimg now. I am sure the yellow pages can help. Seriously you moron, get help.

Here is my take. Coach is young and trying. Has a lot to learn but don't we all? She will get better and I am hoping is learning.

The real culprits here are AD and principal for throwing Leigh into viper pit with no warning. And then giving her awful advice along the way. And not helping her when she made some not so great choices. Again no one is perfect

Stop trashing teenage girls. More complete has a lot more class than that.

I wasn't trashing teenage kids. What I said about girl basketball players is generally true at ALL FCPS schools, and specifically true at LB. GENERALLY speaking, there are 2-4 good girl basketball players at ANY FCPS school. (Let's define "good" as capable of playing in college at any level, shall we?) You could pretty much say the same about the boy's programs as well. And if you think Freshman girl's basketball is anything more than gym class with uniforms, you're delusional, too.

The person(s) I trashed, and most deservedly so, were the whiny helicopter parents who started this thread, and then decided to perpetuate it for mere attention and spite. And every one of them knows what a weak-ass, dipshit move that is.

And when I mentioned politics, of course I meant the stupid trumped up innuendos about conspiracy theories and under-handed dealings alleged by the dipshit whiny parents herein. Of course there are politics present whenever you put 3 or more people in a room.

Your reading comprehension could use a slight boost. Do they still prescribe Ritalin for adults?

My daughter played freshman ball at Robinson; she was a decent player, but not a world-beater. If she had gone out the next year, she would have made JV, and might have made varsity after that, but wouldn't ever have played much. That's life; that's how it works. A real player is AT LEAST on JV as a freshman these days, and most good varsities have some freshman.

My daughter decided she'd rather do other things, and she's fine, and I'm fine with her decision. Basketball's not everything.

In The Know's just stating (obvious) facts.

In the Know
Some of your statements are true
LB has 3 and maybe 4 future college players. Nat is the only D1. Sorry parents. The issue is how all girls are treated. You need 12 kids for a team. The questiom is how you treat them. Are the expectations clear? How can you make them all feel included. You need them - all of them for a team.

They are important
That is what did not happen.

OK, it's whiny.

In tge Know. Talk to more complete.
He has more class.

He at least tries to be civil

What schools are recruiting the tall girl from LB Natalie Butler? I know the team overall did not win many games but she seemed like a bright spot for the Bruins.

Lots of schools want Nat

Glad to hear no changes on this. Then again we all knew it would be same

I see More Complete posted his reasons for no longer posting on here and I see months later when I check back he still has no life except to chastise others and correct grammar. How sad is that? Volunteer in the community and get a life. I just checked back on this website cause it is too hot outside to do my gardening in my new home far far away from Lake Braddock. I had to move away from there in order to give my daughter a shot at her dreams. She ended up with 12 offers and a D-1 scholarship. I know the politics at that school and I know the vermin that is Martino. I know he hires his buddies and could care less about girls basketball at that school. It is palpable and it is real. I now also know that there are too many people on here that just cant accept reality and you must let it go! Seriously, 9 pages? This is an imperfect world. In an imperfect world shit happens when there are no checks and balances. Martino has unchecked power and he can hire who he pleases. His principal and hand picked 'committee' will always approve. I see the troops on here got school board and others involved and he even lied to them with made up stories about what he witnessed that the girls swear never happened. (I spoke to the person who spoke to Martino. I stepped up when people on this thread asked us to and called there and left a message offering to give my insight as a non-resident with experience regarding the politics over there, They called me and we had quite a conversation. They shared with me what they had been told by the AD! What a pathetic little man but he has to live with the knowledge of what he has done) I checked with the parents(more than one) who I know from talking to in the stands when I have returned for games occasionally and I know one of them quite well from when I lived there and from the AAU circuit. You see, it is not all just one or two parents on here if you read back over this thread. Maybe now today it is probably an exchange of about 5 altogether and they need to give it a rest. The same crap has gone on for many, many years. I know one of the girls who rode the bench for the most part this past season has had coaches contacting her AAU coach this summer wanting her to visit their school. I can understand these parents being upset a couple girls with NO experience but maybe a church league, who can’t even dribble come in and get playing time and these girls themselves were overwhelmed. (and I am sure at least one of these 2 inexperienced players moms is on here berating the parents of the girls riding the bench) But here is the bottom line from an outsider. We all know what is happening there and what has happened over the years. This much is for sure, If this thread has done nothing else, it has opened a lot of eyes and Martino’s power on the NEXT hire will not go unchecked. Even he would not have the size balls that would take. He has hired his last unqualified Vogues buddy. I am happy with that for the next generation of Lake Braddock girls. The current coach will hopefully now check her cursing at the girls and drinking in front of them habits at the door and time will tell if she turns into a coach who can develop a player and have a decent record after Nat leaves.

Not to worry
A new season soon
And there will be plenty to say

Please give us more "The beat goes on" and "Same" - maybe you could recap the entire "blog" for us all (again)!!!

More of the same crap for the summer league games. It's ok though they are all getting sued. From my understanding Mark Martino in particular.

Seriously - "they are all getting sued"? Uh, for what? Not playing certain players? For hiring whomever they please? For making girls quit the team? Has Martino or anyone committed a crime or broken some civil law?

Get over this now - this is unhealthy for any kid and/or adult!

Sickening.

Sorry, you're in NoVa, where parents firmly believe that their precious snowflake COULD be a stah -- a big stah, a big shining stah -- if only the coach/AD/world would give them EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT RIGHT NOW DAMMIT OR I'M CALLING MY LAWYER OR HOLDING MY BREATH UNTIL I TURN BLUE.

Keep believing whatever you choose.

Listen

The program sucks. The coach is young and not experienced. The AD has issues. best of luck to anyone who can change it.

My child does not play. If she wanted what they are offering she would join the circus.


LB needs some staff changes and it is not just at coach level

If one more person blames the parents I might turn blue.

School board, Head of Athletics in FCPS, Thomas, Martino, Coaching Staff. All to blame.


Not parents and not kids. Blog on!

This sure has been quiet?
Did everyone move away

Wondering if there is anything new going on at LB? Any frosh players coming into the program? Any new coaches?

When they finally change coaches there will be party. More of the same stuff. Girls not happy

No one coming this year or even next year......unless an unknowing transfer arrives.

Can't wait to see moms go off when their kids are benched

Looks like LB Coach and Martino got Butler a full ride to Georgetown. Take that bloggers.

Butler got Butler a full ride to Georgetown along with her dad and AAU coach. Are you trying to start something? Barbie and Her sidekick of no help. Everyone KNOWS the Butlers would not let any serious prospects near the LB staff. Common knowledge you moron

Some of these parents are despicable. It is high school sports, get over it if your daughter doesn't play. There's bigger things in life. Stop blaming the coach, just have them keep working on their games until they prove they're worthy to the coach.

Then Butler to Georgetown, you have to give the coach some credit. She did get noticed this year. Whenever something good happens it's not the coach, whenever something bad happens it's the coach... For God Sakes.

Where did the coach get her noticed?? AAU? How?

No credit to Janis because she had NO role
Thank you Vern and AAU team
Sorry but she is not a good coach. Girls can't stand her. Those who stay LOVE game and know Martino has no spine. Natalie succeeded cause she works hard. I don't think you will hear Butkers singing praise for coach

Fact is the program is a joke.Everyone in the know knows that. It will be fun to watch the circus again.

Since I personally have no stake, it will be fun to watch the parents of the girls sacrificed this year go off.

Impeach them all

The connection to her getting into Georgetown is the Fairfax Stars. Keith Brown got the job at G'town with Aggie's help. She will not let him forget it. They have recruited 6 players from her teams. THe only team they recruited more from was Boo Williams and that was the former coaches brother. I am not going to say the kid is not good I am definitely going to say she is not Big East caliber at all. If she ever gets more than 10 minutes in a game I will be shocked!!! She is not ranked anywhere on any list that matters. Aggie is definitely behind this one. Congrats to her and the family I hope she enjoys the bench.

Nat is great kid. Giver her some credit.

She is a great kid. But she was destroyed by Freshman and Sophomores at the MD Elite camp not to mention what the JR & SR ball players were able to do. Why do you think an offer never came out of MD for her.

She is getting a full ride who cares if she plays.

If you had "no stake" you wouldn't be on here keeping this thread alive by posting the same things over and over. It reeks of sour grapes.

You can have an opinion and not have a stake More ComPlete. Just call it like it is. Why do you care? The situation sucked. Not sour grapes just a fact. It is what it is. I hope the thread goes strong til the whole lot is gone

I don't. However, I think it should be noted that to say you have no stake, when you obviously have an agenda is preposterous.

That's because you feel that you, or someone you're close to (your kid) was wronged. That's called sour grapes. It's so obvious. Let’s not pretend here.

Didn't make the team, benched, cut, not enough playing time, etc. You've got a real bone to pick for whatever reason and it's really old. Find something else to complain about why don't you. Repeating yourself doesn’t make you right.

Um no, this has nothing to do with politics. Are you implying that people who constantly complain about how unfair life is tend to lean to the left of the political spectrum?

Oh yeah? What do you call anonymously airing your grievances on the internet? I call it cowardice.

Have a nice day. :)

Team still sucks.

Touched a nerve more complete. YEP republicans complain.

People did try to use the right channels to fix things. That is what this forum is for: people can vent and complain. You can choose to not read. Not post.

It is about politics. Just a different kind. LB politics. Are you Martinos brother? The coaches cousin?

True is right

Cry me a river. I have no relation to anyone at the school. See my above response to “True”. Just calling it like I see it.

Why does More Complete care?
More Complete is coach. Known it all along.

My name is Why and I approve this message.

More Complete doesn't care. More Complete likes to point things out others seem to miss. More Complete is only trying to help.

I'm More Complete and I approve this message. (Paid for by the More Complete foundation for less bitching and more doing)
