Stop reaching. This thread is hurtful to a decent man and a coach a young man's role model and hero. He is iconic to this school and cannot image the way he conducts himself be nothing more then over protective of his image and what he represents. He is a teacher of young minds. PLEASE STOP this horrific rumor. He is still listed as the coach on thier web site. These threads ruin lives.

Two years ago one of his players WHO LIVED IN ARLINGTON and should have gone to Yorktown HS was discovered playing for the Arlington Legion team. Apparently Legion baseball does a better job verifying official residence than FCPS. Thomas knew about it and looked the other way.

The whistleblower was fired and Thomas stayed with no punishment.

A McLean High School baseball coach has resigned after being charged with a drug offense.

John K. Thomas, a baseball coach at McLean High, was charged with possession of marijuana and driving without a license on Feb. 5, said Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell. Fairfax County Schools spokesman John Torre said Tuesday that Thomas had resigned as a coach at McLean High School.

Thomas is also a special education teacher at the high school. Torre said he will continue his teaching assignment at the school as a special education instructor.

Thomas, 35, of Fairfax was stopped by Fairfax County police for displaying an improper vehicle registration at about 2:45 p.m. Feb. 5 on the exit onto I-66 from eastbound Route 7, Caldwell said.

As a former player for JT none of you know anything about him. He's a great coach who would do ANYTHING for his players. He wanted nothing more than to teach his players and constantly told us to make good choices. So even if he doesn't exactly practice what he preaches he was a positive influence on me and my teammates. He got the most out of his players and was the best coach in the area. I'd go to war for JT.

If it was anybody else who found themselves in this position, I'm sure I'd feel sorry for him or her. Not John Thomas. He has skirted too many moral issues and worked to the detriment of too many athletes in pursuit of winning games and chasing titles for it not to catch up with him someday.

I always thought it would be arrogance and coaching issues that brought him down.

I have worked with JT and can confirm that he and McLean do things the wrong way. He is a jerk who cares nothing about his special ed students and does everything so his name is glorified in the local baseball world. He would pull his players out of class to go over film while am assistant watched his class. You only liked him because you won a district championship, but he taught you every wrong way to do it. Face it, you beloved coach is a jerk amd a cheat and this is exactly what he deserved.

It is amazing how the posters on Mclean Patch are turning this man into some kind of god. It is just not true and I hope the truth comes out so the school doesn't quietly return him to coaching when the furor dies down.

I suspect that possibly is keeping negative comments off of McLean Patch for posters who are afraid of being identified, and also because the editor has written "Please refrain from attacks in the comments on Coach Thomas" while allowing comments glorifying this disreputable person to stand.

I guess he needed to mellow out with pot after being a maniac in practice after games he probably needed to shoot up just to come down Man was an absolute maniac on the field during a game his players may have liked it but he was the biggest asshole to watch constantly yelling flipping out on umpires to the point of many of his arguments looking like they would turn into fights as he attacked umpires in the most physically intimidating way he could without actually touching the ump. He was a pathetic excuse for a role model but the Mclean people and players loved it because they follow their leader and display the worst of sportsmanship as their behavior mimics this dope heads lead every game and act as bad as he does. Mclean Baseball is pathetic and it's a good thing that this creep is gone.

Turns out centerville wouldn't hire him because they didn't want the baggage that he brought with him. Of course, being the egomaniac he is, he was spinning it that he turned it down because he's going to coach at Lake Braddock next season. Classless jerk.

not really:

You are a know nothing.

The kid from Yorktown, once outed by the FCPS investigator, Kerr, was sent back to Arlington/Yorktown. The family lived in Arlington but owned a condo in McLean which was rented to another family.

FCPS should have gone after the family for the $13k in tuition the FC taxpayers shelled out for him.

Any kid who lives in Woodbridge and attends FCPs does so under just two exceptions:

1. kid of an FCPS employee
2. homeless status

Please contribute ONLY when you know what the hell you are talking about.

The 2012 season will be John Thomas’ 7th as head coach of the McLean High School baseball program where his teams have compiled an overall record of 93-44. Prior to becoming head coach, Coach Thomas served as the Highlanders’ pitching coach for one year during the 2005 season. Throughout Coach Thomas’ tenure as head coach at McLean, the Highlanders have qualified for the Northern Region tournament every year and have seen ten players go on to play college baseball. Coach Thomas was named Liberty District Coach of the Year in 2009 after the Highlanders captured the Liberty District regular season and tournament championships and established a school record for wins (18), and again in 2010 after McLean took the regular season Liberty District title for the second consecutive year while winning 19 games. Coach Thomas has coached four 1st team All-Met baseball players during his tenure at MHS, and five of his players have earned baseball scholarships to Division one schools.

A 1996 McLean High School graduate, Coach Thomas served as team captain twice for the Highlanders during his playing days. He went on to play baseball at the University of Virginia and spent four years as a relief pitcher in the Cavaliers’ program before graduating with a degree in Psychology in 2000.

Coach Thomas is also a Special Education teacher in the Social Studies department at McLean High School, and serves as an Associate Scout for the Houston Astros.

I think he's here because he wants to be a coach, not a teacher. More foul-mouthed than most of the students.


Just not very good at teaching.

It would be best if they just let him coach and keep him out of the classroom

yeah, coach is cool, but not a great teacher in the classroom. but on the field, he's great

I dont get why there a lot of bad reviews of him. He seems like a pretty chill teacher. He talks a lot of current events

Looks can be deceiving. He was pulled over because he is too stupid or lazy to update his registration on his vehicle, which when caught is a simple fine. So like every other pull over of this type, the officer asks for license (which you are not allowed to drive without and he did), registration, and proof of insurance. When he couldn't provide identification, that right there is probable cause for a stolen vehicle and it is law that they detain the subject until proof of ID can be determined since none was provided by the subject. Since he did not have this, they searched his car for some form of ID and found his bag of goodies instead. Or if he was smoking it, then they have probable cause to search because his vehicle reeked of it. Like previous poster said, go back to law school you JT cock smoker.

Jesus, haven't you ever seen an episode of Cops? You must be the type of moron who thinks police aren't allowed to do anything to you. Typical McLean arrogance.

Sborz was supposed to go to Langley, but transferred in during his sophomore year because JT was his Canes coach (wow surprising that happened).

As long as you're a jock, Merrill will tolerate just about anything. All the drugs sloshing around there pissed off the parents so much that they demanded a community meeting to find out what the school planned to do to crack down on it.

Laughable.

Pupil placement brought many of these "scholar/athletes" to Madison. According to their pupil placement paperwork, they wanted to pursue Advanced Placement (AP) coursework, whereas Marshall's advanced classes follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. By the FCPS regs, that is a legitmate basis for "pupil placement" from your normal base school to the next nearest school that offers AP vs. IB. The problem is, most of these baseball players who wanted to pursue AP coursework at Madison could barely tie their shoes.

The irony is that Madison is now losing kids (some of them baseball players) to Marshall, because UVA in particular loves students who follow the IB track in high school, and college baseball coaches (like those in basketball) barely pay attention to HS baseball because there are tons of showcase events for "travel/club" teams and individual showcase events for the good players. Check out Andy McGuire (a legitimate Madison player) if you need any evidence of this. You don't need to put up with the BS and drama that Pudge has going on over at Madison to get college coaches to look at you.

For all of Pudge's success at Madison, where he has had any say in things, he steered his players to VMI, a veritable powerhouse in college baseball... NOT!Recent grads have gone to play at much better colleges/baseball programs, not because of Pudge, but in spite of him.

Sborz pupil placed into McLean, I am not sure what the justification was, but his parents and the Langley coach did not see eye to eye. His parents also pulled him out of Great Falls Little League in what would have been his final season, because playing with his buddies was holding him back. I wish him well at UVA, and hope he eventually makes it to the Bigs. The odds are against that, however.

Since this is his first offense, my guess is the charge will be reduced to something minor after maybe some community service etc. If the full charge doesn't stick, I wonder if FCPS can legally keep him from being reinstated.

My kids have played travel baseball players from McLean as well as Stars and Canes, all of which Thomas coached for. He was very well liked by kids and parents. Any coach is going to get badmouthed on a site like this. Just too bad he let some really DUMB behavior bring a sh#$storm his way.

It strikes me that for all the mass horror over Thomas' affinity for pot, it is a common thing...more common than parents want to admit. In fact, I've known parents horrified at their kids trying it while the parents were secretly doing it themselves! Doesn't change the fact that it is against the law at this time, however, and that's all that counts. But we are a society of hypocrites sometimes.

If he is busted on possession he is done with schools---and teaching btw. No private school will hire him.

But like most teachers who bitch and moan that they are WAAAYYYY underpaid, he can take his BS degree in PSYC and shop it around to Fortune 500 firms and see if they will pay him $45k for 9 months work---good luck with that JT.

The idiot should have practiced his drug habit at home and not brought it to school. Many kids have been busted for pot in their car on school grounds so it really makes no difference whether the weed was in his desk drawer or in his car. BOTH are on school grounds.

Lastly, I doubt it was the first time.

Lastly, anyone can tell that you're an obsessed piece of shit with a personal vendetta against the guy.

If JT screwed up, he screwed up. If it means he can't teach or coach in the future, he'll have to deal with those consequences. Either way, he's going to land on his feet, while you're still be a fuckboy.

That is what is wrong with the system. Transfers are for ACADEMIC REASONS ONLY.

Both schools (mClean and langley) are AP so what the hell did he get approved for? Parents sign a letter of understanding that the kid will take the class/course they are getting an exception for. AND THE SCHOOL MUST FOLLOW UP.

It wasn't for AP. He transferred in to take German which isn't offered at Langley. At Langley, Russian is the class. Hell of a system. And yes this is the same principal who was caught banging her fellow employee, so if she fires him then she looks like a hyporcrite so expect him to stay.

When a Fairfax County mother got an urgent call from school last month reporting that her teenage daughter was caught popping a pill at lunchtime, she did not panic. "It was probably her birth-control pill," she thought. She was right.

Her heart dropped that afternoon in the assistant principal's office at Oakton High School when she and her daughter heard the mandatory punishment: A two-week suspension and recommendation for expulsion.

"I realize my daughter broke a rule," the mother said. But in an appeal to the school system, she reasoned, "the punishment does not fit the crime."

Hayley Russell was 13 and worried about another acne flare-up when she brought an orange prescription bottle to Rachel Carson Middle School in Fairfax County. She placed the medication on the top shelf of her locker so she could retrieve an antibiotic pill to take at lunch.

"I just didn't think about it at the time," she says.

Hayley violated Fairfax rules that prescription medication must be signed in at the school clinic by a parent and kept there. The pills sat in her locker for months. When an administrator confronted her about them last May, acting on a tip from other girls, Hayley quickly acknowledged her mistake. But it triggered a disciplinary process that kept her out of class for more than seven weeks and banned her from even visiting Carson without official permission.

Dante Verme, who was suspended too, knows how difficult it can be to cope with the stigma.

"They need to focus more on helping kids. Not punishing them. We're kids," Verme said.

In January, 2010, Verme was suspended from Chantilly High School for the remainder of the year. Just before school started again in the fall, he was informed he would be involuntarily transferred to W.T. Woodson High School.

"Before then I'd never gotten into trouble before," he said.

The suspension wasn't for drugs or anything violent. He spent a semester exiled to his home for spray painting smiley face graffiti.

"To me, I thought they treated me like a criminal just bashing you, bashing you," he recalled.

The school system wound up paying tutors more than 500 hours to teach him at home.

Correct - Sborz's family moved to the Kent Gardens area in the McLean HS district from the Langley district. And Ms. Jackson was a good principal whose commitment to the school and personal conduct were never called into question.

Does it do wonders for your self-esteem to post like a gossipy middle-school girl? At best, you sound like some lame assistant who got fired because you couldn't coach and spent too much time handing out towels in the locker room.

I heard he is coming back right after Spring Break. He will have completed his rehab, reduced his charged. Parents already starting a petition to get him back. Perhaps concerned the current level of coaching or projecting the season out.

Hard to see school wants him as thier poster boy, but guess those kids dope it up too and need coach mentorship.

Haha. Must suck to be in your 30s and still nursing old grievances toward classmates and coaches that you look for opportunities to dredge up.

Man up, loser.

Even worse if you're still talking about Buckwalter, not Thomas. Sounds like it's too late for you now. You're a sad sack of shit if you troll internet forums "pushing 50" to get back at old HS classmates. Just staple "loser" to your forehead and be done with it.

Where did Coach Buckwalter come in here?he is off doing great things at another school and as a McLean grad and former player they have not done as well as they did when he played there or Coached there! did he break the law like this idiot did no! But you are holding him to the standards of the times he was there. but now the times have changed and people like you who think pot is ok and the unwritten rules of society are falling apart before our very eyes want to bring up old stories to hurt someone Get a life jackass! And I certainly bet you don't know him or his former wife!

Letting Thomas return to coaching would be wrong on so many levels. I hope it is not allowed - it is bad enough that he is still teaching, given the way a student in the same situation would have been treated by FCPS.

Bet McLean Admin will allow the pot smoker, potentially dope dealer, probably smoker with players to rule again. Will this work?

Do as I say, not as I do? I stand before you as a model of what happens when I smoke pot. I am your role model

Absolutely! The best way to gain favor with a teacher is to show a personal interest in their outside activities. Especially a teacher as rational and self-composed as Thomas.

I hope you do Jimmy, then kiss that AP position bye bye!!! We all know you'll get out of dodge before the next one happens and it'll be thrown on the next person. What am I saying, of course they'll hire you, I mean they hired an AP for having sexual relations with other teachers. Great way to run a program and school McLean. God it is pathetic how bad you all want to be like Langley, but still end up looking like the red headed step child. At least your school colors are right for the part.

It was actually the Principal who got popped for tapping another teacher. Happened at Oakton.

And we have no desire to be like Langley.

In the end , we were not allowed to hire our coach back. We hired another, we plan to keep Coach Thomas around to help in the transition or be an assistant head coach to our new head coach.

Sorry but coaching is being eliminated along with sports, band, and student government.

You can't have it all: paid 4 day weekends and the rest of it.

Maybe we'll get real schools now.

He's still listed as a learning disabilities teacher on the McLean High School website, but not as a coach on the McLean High School Athletics website (he resigned soon after he got busted).
