Why does Lake Braddock high school girls basketball have such a high coach turnover?

I am not sure who is doing the hiring, but they havent hired the right person since Fisher left.
They had a few good applicants the last time around and went with someone who had no Head Coach experience.
They have talent, but will never be competitive until they get a good coach.

Well from what I heard same thing happened last year. The talent left because they were benched. Best and most experienced players on bench again. We are friends with a basketball family and I feel sorry for them. Not a good expeeience thus far

Natalie is a huge talent. Amazing. I think what the person is saying is there is other talent not being given a chance. Maybe if the coach would wake up and give these other girls time in game the team could win. Son says some girls being excluded because they arenit among favorites

Yep i can read a box score but maybe she wouldnt have to do it all by herself if the rest of talent was in helping her! Maybe just maybe she feels she has to do it by herself! Did you think of that? Or maybe the coach is causing the problem? So you seem to think that she is the only player on the team last time i checked basketball is a team sport!when i played it was anyway

I think the two of you agree. It comes back to coaching. Freshman who have little higher level experience should not be given all that game time at expense of seasoned players. Speed is not the end all be all. It is of NO value if you cant get the ball in the hoop. My son knows this game. He knows the girls too. LB needs experience.

3 - you have a conversation with yourself under multiple usernames to make it look like people care
4 - you think the most mature way to handle this is to slam the coach on the internet and try to belittle him in 'pubic' rather than discuss it with anyone at the school, or the coach himself
5 - no one else cares

These 2 posters are one and the same.
the Facts:
1) Lake Braddock girls basketball has very little talent, and hasnt for many years. All the talented athletes play other sports at LB.
2) the talent that they do have is in their younger players, who need to commit to basketball instead of quitting to play soccer or lacrosse ( a Lake Braddock tradition)
3) the Coach, in her 2nd year, has done more to teach real basketball than anyone in recent memory.
4) Pissed off parents, like the poster who started this thread, need to realize their daughter sucks, and shouldn't even bother with the summer expense of playing some on some third rate AAU team.
Thats pretty much the totality of this thread. Get over it, and let your daughter play intramurals in college next year where she belongs.
So there you have it.

Coach K
There is talent there. Girls who have played together for years. This coach runs them off one by one. There is data to prove that. Just because you were a great player does not mean you can coach. Coaching is about more than the sport you coach. It is about setting an example that a school can be proud of. It is about fairness, compassion and service. Most of these kids will never play professionally. When the leadership is not right then it is kids who lose.

Thats not true!
This coach has very little experience and brought coaches in with very little experience.
She has taught them little to nothing, losing to teams they should be beating and not even being competitive.
This team has some talent and could be very competitive.
They had an in house applicant, a male, who would have brought out the talent of the exisiting players as well as would have brought additional talent within the school. They chose to hire a female, who has no experience, shame on the administration for not hiring the best person for the job.
The program will suffer for the next few years.

Perhaps someone who knows the coach or athletic director should suggest a confidential survey sent now to both last year and this years parents on how to improve things. Everyone can learn somethng from every situation.

I don't think spreading rumors and innuendo is the answer either, but that didn't stop you, did it? Why would parental input be so important to you, if you weren't just a typical helicopter parent who brought your video recorder to the game and your kid barely played?
You grow more and more transparent with each post.
Did you learn anything from coming to an anonymous forum to bitch about LB basketball yet, Mom?

Sorry, but I agree that a change needs to be made with coaching staff.
I dont care who is sitting on the bench or who is playing, that doesnt need to be discussed on a message board.
The talent is in the school, the school has 2500 kids, it needs a coach who can bring the talent out.
Getting the talent out of the players that you have as well as recruiting additional talent from within the school is critical to the success of the program.
Most of the parents in the program, as well as past alumni, feel that the current coaching staff does not have that ability. They are not exprienced enough to know how to run a successfull program. The administration should have regognized that before they made the hire.
This team under the current coaching staff, was not competitive last year or have they been this year, it is time for a change.

I agree that it does sound like that but I asked why so many coaching turnovers and this led to people believing that it was about how bad a coach is! That is not what it meant AT ALL! Maybe it has been due to parents kids coaches etc who knows! Some came on here just nasty nasty! No need for that! If it is a coach that is saying kids suck then that is even more nuts! The pm that I have recieved from Fairfax dude is crazy! I AGAIN am not a parent!

I do have close ties to the program. People generally use these boards when they feel they have no voice. That is the underlying message here. There is both a perception and a communications problem. I am sure the coaching staff are dedicated and hardworking. No one takes these jobs for the money. But anyone associated with this program should NOT say that any team member sucks. That is certainly not what the staff says. Every member of that team deserves respect from their teammates, coaches, and parents. Not everyone can be a gifted athlete. And no team at this level can succeed without 10-12 girls who will commit to hard work. Shame on the person who said someone sucks. Everyone on that team has some skills or would not be there. Teams are made better in practice. And you never know who could develop over a season or a year. For the sake of these girls I pray that is not someone working on program.

The youth programs have nothing to do with coach turnovers! You are on a mission to create unecessary drama that we are all tired of hearing about! Why dont you keep your opinions to yourself from now on and maybe go coach you sound like you would be great cussing and saying kids suck!

Lake Braddock was very good in womens basketball back in the day.
Trowbridge teams in the late 80s and 90s were very good, winning the States in 1989.She always had some very good teams and competed for the Region title every year.She also had some great players, Teter, Cunningham, Mortlock, McClintock, Jarrett, Quigley to name a few.
Fishers teams were usually competitive, they won the region in 2003. Overall he did a really good job. He had some good players, Saup, Robertson, Dye, Lindemuth, Quigley, Payne.He chose to leave, he was not forced out.

I am sure the administrators at Lake Braddock are aware of how unhappy and disappointed everyone is with the coaching and the direction the program is going and will make a change after the season.
They made a mistake with hiring a inexperienced coach and it hasnt worked out.
The proof is in the product that is on the court. Its not very good.
The confusion, players not knowing what to do, not using time-outs. That is a reflection of the coaching. They have the players, you can clearly see that, they just need a coach who can develope the talent and to put it all together.
The school the size of Lake Braddock should be competing for District and Regional titles every year.

Derrick Fisher left 5 years ago. He was done. The last year he was there he was not into coaching anymore and it showed.
Harris was hired and given the 3 years all coaches are given before they decided to replace him. He is now at Stafford and having the same problems he had at LB. NO Control.
New coach has VERY little exsperience coaching. She played and has playing exsperence but coaching and playing not the same. 2 years as asst. on Madison and 1 season as head coach of AAU team (Does not do AAU anymore)
I was one of the final 4 when she was hired. I have way more exsperience coaching but LB wanted a women. Give her a chance, I think she can do the job but needs time. She will be there at least one more year.
No seniors because they did not want to sit on bench again as they did last season. To bad as there was talent there. Best Frosh coming in this year went to PVI because of coaching problems

I am pretty sure the current coach will not be back next year. She will either leave on her own or be asked to leave. Normally you get 3 years to get things right, but this is going from bad to worse and the players and the program are suffering.
1. To many problems with the direction of the program and she doesnt have the experience or the flexibilty to change the direction.
2. She is not in the building, so she has no chance to build any kind of relationships with the players or potential players.
They have someone in building (should have been hired in the first place) who could change the direction of this program next year. They would have the total support of the players as well as the parents and community.
It shouldnt matter if they are male or female. The best person should or should have been hired.

At a great program like Madison, 2 years as an assistant is a considerable amount of experience. I watch a lot of girls basketball, from an x's and o's point the 2 years as an assistant and a lengthy playing career should more than adequately be enough for a high school coach to know what they are doing.
Now if we're not talking x's and o's and are talking interpersonal skills, game management, etc. than that is a different story.

From all these postings, there is obviously a perceived problem. Most parents, not all, are just as concerned with the experience of kids as they are wins and losses. They want thngs to be fair and for adults and school leaders to set a good example. If what the person said about talented upperclassman being benched last year and perhaps to some extent this year is true, then that is where problems started.

Totally disagree that 2 years as asst. at Madison is enough to become a head coach. Harris also was only a asst. at Marshall before becoming head coach at LB. both coaches have had the same problems and it all comes from no exsperiance at being a head coach with all the responsibilities. It takes years to be able to understand all the problems you will encounter. But parents need to back off and let her be the coach. They are not seeing what the coaches see 6days a week. They only see the games. Players earn play time in practice

You can coach for 30 years and still encounter new problems. If the coach has a vision for the program she is fine, as she obviously knows her x's and o's. There is no rule that says be an assistant for 10 years before you become a head coach. When problems do arise, hopefully she has built a relationship with her former coaches where she can seek guidance from them, almost like a mentor role. There are also countless coaching discussion forums on the web to exchange experiences.

The problem is that she is young and inexperienced, with only 2 years as an assistant she doesnt know how to prepare for a practice, game plan, deal with player problems, all necessary skills in running a program. Most assistants in high school programs, work with a position group in practice, then take stats at the game.
Sure, she can have more experienced coaches as mentors, thats how we all learn, however, this is something she should have done, prior to taking over a program.
I think most in the basketball community were very surprised she got this job with very little experience and it doesnt look like she had a plan to be able build a program.
She has problems dealing with the players and parents as evident to the large number of player turnover.
If you can not get the players to buy into what you are doing in the program, then you will never be able to motivate them to give their best.
She is in way over her head, sinking fast, the program and the players are suffering. I see no way that this can continue.

If you watch them play, they do lack talent. This garbage about having talent on the team is just parents who think their kids are good. Talent does come in waves and Lake Braddock has been losing long before this coach took over.

The most pathetic thing about this is the person who said kids suck on the team. How can you have any kind of morale or program if someone close to the team is willing to say that? It makes me sick. And it is a sympton of a larger and more serious issue. There is obviously a problem. And I do not think it is simply a parent or two. I do agree that the coach and administration has an obligation to fix it. They cannot ignore it and play blame game.I repeat what I said yesterday to the person who said some of kids suck. Shame on you. If you are closely connected to program please leave. You obviously dont have the best interests of all kids at heart.

Blame the parents, or that they have no talent, that is always a easy out for the staff.They excepted the position, except the responsibility.
I do understand that you will have parents that think their kids are superstars and they are not. An experienced coach will know how to handle that, without upsetting the balance of the team.
A good coach will develope the talent they have and try to recruit within the school, others, to fit around them and move forward, not make excuses.
I disagree, they do have some talent, watch them play.
It does take some time and there is a certain amount of growing pains in having a new system and coach in place. However, this is the second year and you should be seeing results, but they are still not even competitive. That my friend points to the coaching.

The coach must of thought that all the kids are good or they would not be on varsity. So you lb fan must have a child on the team that you think is the best. Sorry that is just what it sounds like.

Think a little bit, LB has to field a varsity team, it's the 12-15 best girls that tryout, it doesn't mean there is 12-15 varsity caliber players, realisticaly there is 6 or 7 players that are of a varsity caliber, and only 1 that is an above average varsity player.
The results may not be to everyones satisfaction so far, but lets face it not everyone wins, there are losing teams. The number 1 purpose of a high school coach is to develop student athletes into adults. The winning and losing is really second nature but people fail to acknowledge that. The VHSL Mission Statement even states this.
Oh and to the poster above it's *accept not except, I usually don't correct grammar but you make Lake Braddock look real bad after acknowledging your an alum.

"Real" Varsity Starters are at PVI, in the halls at LB and Butler.
Coach and Staff needs to coach AAU if they truly want to succeed.
No one on the Staff does it, no one. LB Administration knows this and chooses to sit and watch.
JV Coach should be on the bench. Time for some changes....Earn your way, or exit.
Team will stillwin 7 games a year regardless of Staff, at least have a plan.

Staff coaching AAU is pointless. For one you're only allowed to coach like 3 players from your high school, and just encouraging players to play AAU is all a coach really should do. AAU does make players better by playing year round, but at the same time is shady as hell.
Why should the jv coach be on the bench? It never makes any sense when you see a school with more than 4 coaches on the bench, it should just be varsity and her staff. What does an extra coach bring to the table but a distraction?

I understand that they have to field a team but even second string has to have potential to make varsity. So what your saying is only six players should play and nobody else? If thats the case then just have a team of six! I understand about practice players but some on that team could have been left on jv to get more experience not to be on the bench not getting the game experience.

I would be careful quoting VHSL mission here. I still dont think W vs L is the total issue. Talk to the kids that did not return. The issues run deeper. If as you say the goal is to develop student athletes into adults then the examples set by the staff are the most important issue of all. And all the kids on the team deserve opportunities to develop. If the goal is to win no matter what then that is different.
Experience is almost always a huge asset. If the team has struggled and will continue to do so then it seems developing thw kids should be short term goal. And no one can deny that experience helps in that realm. Experience is something you have to earn.
What bothers me is that no one seems to appreciate the time and hard work all the kids put in to create a team. You cannot practice with six kids. To say that the others dont belong there is not nice. Unfortunately there will be no real success for either goal until there is trust. Coaches must earn that.

And coaches see talent differently. No two coaches would agree who shoukd play on that team with the exception of the two captains. All would agree on their talent. The real truth is all the others have their strenghts and weaknesss. And who is to say they can't develop if they are given chance.

Im not trying to be smart! Im asking if that is what you are saying? The coach obviously thinks all the girls have at least varsity potential right? Maybe only one with d-1 chance but two or 3 POSSIBLY with low level d-3 chance. I thought high school basketball is suppose to be for fun? A chance to have a memory and experience that will last forever. I do agree it is supposed to also teach kids how to be adults. So we do agree on a few things! But if girls are not having fun what does it matter? Lets be real here no college coaches are going to come out to see any girl who plays for this school. My apologies maybe only one. Most college coaches see girls through AAU.

Girls basketball is not important at LBSS. Soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse rule. Better athletes focus on these sports. AD could help here, but girls basketball is not a winning tradition for him to support. (Varsity football wasn't either, but a few blue-chip athletes changed that losing history.) Boys basketball doesn't have a winning tradition either, but a good coach ekes out enough wins each season and stays competitive with his stall-ball offense.

I usually don't correct grammar either but it's "you're" not 'your' (conjugation of 'you are' !!..but good point on the 'accept' instead of 'except').

The AD knew what he was getting when they hired the coach. She is not going anywhere this season so you should show her your support then she can concentrate on getting the team better. Coaching AAU would help her to give her more exsperiance at coaching. Her asst. coach also does AAU. If you look at the player honestly there are no D-1 players. Natilie might get there but only because of her size not from her talent. She is getting better but right now she is not D1- level. I guess she could get there with time. Has only played AAU for 2years. The two small guards did not even play county basketball.
Natilie tried to transfer to Robinson over the summer but LB AD saw her playing with Robinson at summer team camp at VCU and then she was not transferring. I'm sure she would have had to sit a year if she did

Problem is there are multiple AAU players who are barely playing. These kids all have some skills and game experience and could contribute to this team. No they are not college bound. This happened last year. It does not make any sense to exclude them. This season needs to be about this season. The kids who work hard six days a week deserve this.

That's the thing, playing AAU will undoubtedly make you better, but anyone can play AAU and just getting better does not necessarily mean they are good enough. There's a lot of AAU players that will never make a varsity team on the guys side, I admit I don't know as much about AAU on the girls side though.

Several players play AAU. Three on the same team and they have play together for many years. The best player on the team is hurt and will not play this year. All the top players on girls high school varsity teams play AAU. But many players do not play AAU and many high school team have these players also because there is not enough players to fill your team. So almost all girls high school teams have both players that do play AAU and players that do not.

Why is your son talking to you about the girls and their AAU experience? The reality is there are thousands of AAU players that are not good, just because someone does AAU does not make them better than the starters on Lake Braddock. Trust the coaches that see them 6 days a week at practice.

LB coach must have seen these AAU players play, if they have played 100's of games together. Obviously some of them are not very good, otherwise they would be on the floor. The parent jealousy is a bit much.
When "the talent" does not play this week and LB wins, what next ?
Wonder if this much time is spent if the kid does not have good grades.
Is the AAU coach on the bench, or in the program ?

A lot of theories here, but some missed points.
Martino gave this coach a shot because she was his daughter's AAU coach. Its who you know sometimes.
While Rocky has his faults, he would have been a better choice to get something out of the very little talent pool. Say what you want, but the kids love him.
Just because LB has 2500+ students doesn't mean that the halls are bleeding with talent (on the boys side either) I would say that only a handful that could help are not playing.
The transfers did hurt them, and they left because of issues with the staff, one previous, and one current.
Let's not get it twisted, Lb is not a hot bet for basketball, boys or girls, but since we are talking girls, it's not Oakton, TC or West Springfield.
An earlier poster had a point, youth league feeders do have some baring on the player's development. At one point in time, BRYC was among the top in the county league which produced kids that had some talent. It by no means is the only factor, but it plays a role. Interaction with your feeder system via camps, clinics etc. can go a long way towards helping the future of your program.
AAU - just because you are on a AAU/Showcase team, it doesn't mean that you are good. One would think so, but we all know that there are some political picks in there. Now there should be a correlation with a standout AAU player that is working on their skills in the offseason that shows itself in the winter.
While I am not for or against the staff, but no staff is perfect and has to learn and grow. We live in a microwave society where we want instant results. While it may not make some parents happy, but its not a sprint, its a marathon and it takes time to get to the top. I think the question here is, is LB a stepping stone for those that may go on to be better somewhere else, or does it want to position itself to be a contender in the Northern Region, or even just in the Patriot.
If you are a parent, and you feel that your child has not been given the opportunity to show what she can do, then continuously voice your opinion, (if its valid) to both the coach and the DSA. Also, make sure you do everything in your power to help your daughter improve, and that doesn't always mean going out and hiring a shooting coach. We don't spend the required time with our kids really to help them improve on the fundamentals. (I know this sounds like a coaches response, but I can assure you I am not her) How many hours have you logged in rebounding for her? My point is they assistance outside of practice to improve their fundamentals.
Now, to answer the original question, the turnover has been more recent: Harris did not have much to work with, and parents did not see it that way and did what they could to get him out. He's now doing decently at North Stafford. What will happen with the current coach, who knows, but we all know that winning cures all ills!

In the building, I think you made some valid points
Here are a few more.
The handful of players that are not playing, could possibly help them be more competitive and start the building of the program.
LB has some very good girls sport teams, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, and Track are always very competitive in the region. So they have the atletes in the school. They could be coached up and be developed into role players. I do relize that all are not basketball players, but they are atheltic enough that they could be utilzed to help the program. This would allow more competition during try-outs and bring the best out of all players.
At WS and Oakton, they have some superstars, but they also have athletes around them to help in a support role.
Most feel that this program should be competing for the Patriot distict title every year, as they do in other sports.

What is wrong with all of you ppl? Everyone has good theories but the fact of the matter is, the talent is just not there. Even the big tall chick is horrible but she is just bigger than everyone else, so that is getting her over. There is not talent on the bench, there is no talent in the other levels. I know that may sound mean to some of you parents but that is the truth. I know everyone thinks their kids are good because they was good in youth league or on an AAU team but that is different than high school hoop. I don't think a lot of you know anything about hoop, I think a lot of you are speaking from emotion because you want your child on the floor more. If your child is not playing there is a reason, this lady has NO TALENT i say again. You guys are expecting her to work a miracle, turn shit into chicken salad, but you have to honest with yourselves and your children.
Maybe there is more she could be doing,or maybe she is doing all she can with the poor talent she is working with. You can teach as much as you want but if the kids can't physically do what you ask it's not on her as the coach. You guys act like there is so many issues as being a coach, the main issue is parents trying to live through their kids. Just because you was good as an athlete doesn't mean our child is going to be good. Parents need to relax, enjoy the ride and joy your child is having as a player. If the kids are not doing that or think they can do better then hey MOVE!!! Take them somewhere else, I will bet my pay check they either get cut or not play a minute somewhere else. AGAIN, PARENTS RELAX AND ENJOY!!! Her experience has nothing to do with it, I don't care who you get to run the program they will be terrible...better yet if the job comes open i say all you know it all's need to put your name in the hat as the next coach. Then let's see how much better you can be with the group of ladies at LB.

Everyone take a chill pill. LB basketball is not a force to be reckoned with...never has been...never will be. Anybody with REAL talent will find their way to West Springfield or some other traditional powerhouse. The lack of a winning history dissuades girls from selecting b-ball over other sports. The local youth programs are all about participation and parent-coach preferential treatment. Do not expect this to continue at the varsity high school level. Typical of FFX COUNTY, so many youth athletes play AAU/travel/select/showcase b-ball that it is no longer representative of elite (best of the best) talent -- same way the AP/Honors curriculum has been dumb downed to accommodate all the "above-average" students. The AAU program is paid for by parents and pimped out by the coaches/assistants/trainers who lure each parent (player) into thinking their kid is the next Sue Bird or Candace Parker. PARENTS: KNOW YOUR ROLE -- Support the team, watch the games, encourage the players. That's all, folks.

Sure, maybe your kid can play JV at some D-III school; it'll be a valuable experience for them. But stop complaining.
Sheesh.

Sure, maybe your kid can play JV at some D-III school; it'll be a valuable experience for them. But stop complaining.
Sheesh.

Leave the lady coach alone. She's doing the best with what she has on that bench -- which ain't much, but her players play hard and compete. That's all you can ask for. Parents are delusional in FFX CO. If your kid ain't going pro, have a beer, kick back, and watch the game on videotape. You mad, bro?

Yes this is Rocky Carter, teacher and assistant boy's basketball coach at Lake Braddock.
I was initially told about this thread by a friend of mine this Saturday in which Leigh Janis ( Kampman) our Girls Basketball Coach, was being slammed by people. I didn’t pay attention to it. Didn’t care about people and their opinions on message boards.
Then yesterday I was greeted at 7:30m by a teacher also telling me about the same thread, but this time I was told about how my name was brought up and why I wasn’t hired, and how there were more qualified candidates than Leigh, how she is a bad coach, and just otherwise ripping her apart. The teacher also implied it looked as though I posted things on there. That really bothered me as I don’t post on FFU and stopped posting on VA Preps sometime back.
I went to my AD and told him what I was told. I gave him my word as a man I have never, nor would I ever, say anything to, or about, anyone on some message board. I had already told him I was very disappointed in how Leigh was being treated before I even knew of this thread. I said I was going to look at the thread later and probably respond. He was very much against my doing so.
What has been written about Leigh, in my opinion ONLY, is both not true and absolutely UNFAIR to her and her players. It isn’t right. I hurt for Leigh in how she is being what I consider slandered by parents/coaches/applicants, etc. It doesn’t matter who they are. It is just plain wrong. She is the same age as my own daughter.
Having an opinion about someone is fine. But I want to make sure the truth regarding me and LB basketball is known:
I work for whom many consider one of the best basketball coaches around in Brian Metress and I am having a complete blast, and have done so for the past (6) years. I have not been involved girl’s basketball since 2005, except for training a young lady in the summer for free in 2009.
Yes I applied for, yet did not get the GBB coaching job at LB. And yes there were others who did the same, and they too did not get the job. Yes I was disappointed. So what? It wasn’t the first time, and it surely will not be the last, I was disappointed in someone’s decision about me with what I wanted to do. It happens. I’ve moved on.
Sadly, parents from the LB girl's BB team few years ago wanted to get rid of then-coach Carl Harris, who I consider a great man and mentor of kids. They blasted him constantly to my AD. Unfortunately my AD made the decision to release Carl from coaching. He then hires another coach and now a different group of people is upset and wants that coach out. Frankly I don’t understand it.
Leigh Janis is going to be a very good coach. Just last night they beat WT Woodson. They are getting better. Anyone can see it. I personally think she is great for these kids. She has great passion. I honestly told her just a few weeks ago that it was my hope she coaches just how she played; aggressive and with passion. And she is doing just that. I am proud she is our coach. She deserves the chance to be successful. I promise, if she is given that chance - and I know she will be given that chance by administration and others – she will do great things for Lake Braddock Girl's Basketball.
I ask everyone to please stop posting such nasty things about her here. At the very least she deserves the respect of having people tell her face-to-face instead of saying it anonymously on some message board. She has no way to defend herself, nor should she want to on such a forum.
Again, she is doing her very best for your kids. She wants to, and expects to, win every game. She absolutely deserves each parent’s support, along with the community’s. She has my unwavering support, though she doesn’t need it nor has she asked for it. She has some great young ladies on that team who, if they are just left alone and given the support from everyone around them, will become very good basketball players and have fun in the process.
Remember this – Leigh was not responsible for Carl getting fired. Leigh was not responsible for me or any other applicant not getting hired. She applied just like everyone else and was the one chosen, period. Besides, who’s to say things would have been any different had myself, Dave McRae, Crenshaw, or any of the other applicants been hired? No one knows what would have happened.
Leigh is a very capable and good coach. She deserves the opportunity succeed, and she will, with or without people’s support, though it would be much more fun if she had it. She deserves it.
Let men pose this question: What if it was your daughter in her shoes? How would you feel? What if it was you?
I just ask that you take a step back and reflect. Is this fair?
If you have any questions, please don’t put it on here. Email me at tarheelsaaubasketball@ live.com as I won’t respond to FFU.

For those concerned about the kids and kids at LB who are not getting to play, this is an incredible opportunity and life lesson. If your child or you are a child that is sitting the bench or not a favorite of the coach, hard work can change that.
I have had (3) kids play High School sports in Fairfax County, I played HS sports in Fairfax County. We have had some good coaches and some less experienced coaches, all turned into good experiences because we participated and encouraged our kids to work through the impediments. They are now successful adults in large part because of the experiences they gained as HS athletes and the work ethic it requires to participate.
Supporting the LB Girls basketball program and coaching staff and taking the steps to become better through hard work is the answer, not whining and complaining, whether through an annonomous blog or directly to the AD, Consider the incredible energy a young, talented coaching staff can bring to a school and team and maximize your upside. Stop whining and get to work!

I laugh at the people who say "Lake Braddock was never a force in girl's basketball" on this thread.
The '88-'89 team went undefeated and won a state title and had numerous D-1 stars on it. Karen Jenkins went to AU and Laura Teter played at Mason. Also, soccer start Collette Cunningham (Mary Washington/NC State) was the PG on that team. They lost the state final in '88 and went 30-0 in '89 to win states.
So there's that....

Well said Rocky. Please read his post above.
This program needs the support of the parents and players. Rocky is right, no matter who got the job it might be the same, you never know. Got rid of Harris but not much has changed so maybe it's not the coach.
Leigh has lot's of basketball exsperience and she played at a high level. I think that was a big factor to her getting the job, so she could share that with these players and show them what it takes to get there also.
All she needs is a chance so give it to her. Even Billy Gibson and Fred Prister had to have their first years at coaching and I sure parents were upset with them at times.

Don't mention Fred Priester on here, the only thing he figured out how to do was recruit girls through his summer camps.

Class of '89 here. You need to go back and read page 1 of this thread as I had already posted this information.
And to the person posting as "Joe Gibbs" who gave my pal "history lesson" a hard time about this being 2012 and the Bruins were state champs back in '89 well, "Joe Gibbs" was responding to the people who said "Lake Braddock was NEVER a force in girls basketball". Are they a force NOW? No. Have they EVER been a force? Yes. These are 2 seperate issues though.

(Cute Madison dance video..BUT..) Big Mac is right. This is not Orange or Culpepper Va or Podunk where someone with two years Asst coach experience can take over a program to get their feet wet and learn the ropes with their own program: to learn how to work with colleges, parents and the girls as well as the feeder programs (very valid point that other high schools have this and it is ignored at LB). This is Fairfax Va. with one of the most populated schools and largest school systems in the country. This is especially true as some of the parents at LB who had girls playing the year the new coach was to come, contacted parents of players at Madison (two starters as these parents knew each other from their girls playing AAU) Those Madison parents stated, and I quote, "Oh yes, she is the pretty one who knows how to call time outs." Their daughters never interacted with her (but spoke highly of Katie). The new coach never sent out a bio or letter of introduction and with no other real coaching background they were trying to find out something.
Nice to say parents need to back off and let her be the coach, nice sentiment but does not address the issue at hand of coach turnover because inexperienced coaches being hired. This one was the third Vogues coach in a row by the way (this one just one year for a 12 year old Regional team she took over from the current Lake Braddock Athletic Director who coached the same team with his daughter on it the previous year! Oh what a tangled web we weave. I will give you time to let that sink in

The Rocky Carter posting states she deserves the respect to have it said face to face. Two seniors and one junior who had played most of their young lives tried that preseason, they asked for a meeting, they sat in her office and shared their concerns and she shut them down and told them this was her program and they had no input into anything. All three quit afterwards (and the fourth senior decided to not even try out after last year). Not much respect for that, who is to know if someone else was hired that the outcome would have been different?? If I was a betting man I would say I am 99% sure if you or any of the other seasoned coaches were hired they would have handled this differently. More seasoned coaches would not be dropping the F bomb on them numerous times during practice either...key word Experience...not for a AAA division VI team. Bring in your Vogues transplants on Freshmen or JV but this was one anymore!

South County, Lee and West Potomac on a different level than West Springfield, Annandale, TC Williams, (Robinson). It is the coach who should have had someone tape annandale or scout herself and draw up plays accordingly, not whatever alumni , teachers, parents or concerned spectators are posting on here.

The cold hard truth is this is what sports has become at the high school and the youth level.
It as political as this election. I guess the good news is the kids learn a hard lesson about life at a young age. Nothing is fair. And it won't ever change til the parents learn to take a stand. For those blaming the parents on this blog, you could not be more wrong.
Go watch a game. Watch the screaming and yelling. Talk to the players both past and present --but don't talk to the ones being given opportunities they have NEVER earned and still don't earn. They think it is great. Listen to what the college scouts in the audience are saying.
Talk to people who are really "in the know." and what you find out will shock you.

I think it has been clearly established on this blog that this person should have never been hired for this job. Will LB admit their mistake or continue to treat fans to poorly coached games, so-called varsity players who run with the ball and play like house players -- not to mention to what others are saying in the stands. The coach should resign.

i think whats been "clearly established" is that you are a typical helicopter parent. Too much of a wimp to address the situation head on, you resort to anonymous postings on a "blog" (really?) to rabble rouse and accuse.
Oh, and the reason your kid is on the bench? Because she's not any good. Period.
your internet priviledges should be revoked.

Who ever the parent or non parents are on here it does not matter because it appears to be the only place anyone can vent or try to get the truth (and I do not dispute many of these things are the truth coming directly from the girls, or are able to be verified on the internet) out which is always swept under the rug by the AD and the school board , as the AD is in collusion with his hand picked, resume padded Vogues picks as stated a few times above. I googled it after reading that. It seems everyone knows , I have a child that graduated lake Braddock. I have friends who still have kids there, I still live in the community and like to attend games from time to time but it is difficult to watch anymore. My family and I used to go to their Friday night home games, both Girls and boys. Not anymore for the girls, Lake Braddock girls are hard to watch They are so poorly coached. Their big-Natalie would have been better off to go to a private school cause she is getting no development there.( in fact, probably more harm than good even if stats look good) I did hear from one of the parents of a player currently on the girls team (who DOES get playing time, not that it matters in what I am raising here) who told me according to the girls, this coach yells at the players to "GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES",more than once, then gets yet another technical screaming at the refs, after not going into the locker room at halftime last night telling the girls she did not want to see their faces,great example of maturity and teaching your girls to pout and stomp your feet when you dont get your way. Lee was actually neck and neck with them. pretty sad. I just might go to a game again just to count the turnovers of the 2 new freshmen I watched twice (one played a season of travel basketball and the other never played except for her church for fun) and record it. The coaches and people in the stands all talk about it. I am sure their parents would disagree but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , well lets call it like it is. If the coach reads this blog she ought to know people talk, LB has a reputation now of not caring about the girls basketball program. It is clear by the experience and maturity level of this new hire. but once again nobody, parents-wise, will say anything because if you speak up their kids pay with playing time, it is how LB has ALWAYS been So they suffer through unless they take their kids to private schools, the AD will not approve any transfers either cause I know that big girl over at PVI with all the D-1 offers tried to transfer to Robinson. That mom sat in meetings with the AD and the principal with all the experienced applicants' resumes she brought along with her because she knew all the applicants and she told me she was told they were going to '""try someone who is more relatable, who has been there, played in college, a girl". comical it is so pathetic. I think Natalie tried as well, it is so sad, look how far she has come in a couple years and imagine if she had an experienced coach! I spoke to people at one of the boys games who said there are players on the girls team who could not even initially run a three on three drill in practice. HUH What? Varsity? now I read all the seniors and a junior quit cause the coach would not give them the respect to listen . Not her fault? If given a chance she will be a great coach? again let us call a duck a duck. The AD should not have this degreee of unchecked power to continuously bring in his inexperienced Vogue picks. The girls, their parents, the school and the community deserve better.

There are players on that team who should have been played ALL ALONG over those freshman. They could NOT do any worse. That is why so many QUIT. They had spent years playing and what someone referred to as "Coach Hothead" benched them. And I was personally told by a parent that her child was benched because she spoke up last year. Ditto for this year. It has happened to AT least two players this year too that I know of because I follow this sport. And don't anyone dare come on here and say they suck. Don't blame the kids or parents.
I can't even imagine how the parents and the girls must feel. The whole high school system is talking about it.
People come here because LB DOES NOT LISTEN!!!!!!

Y'all keep complaining. I read this, and then looked up their record -- 6-10 overall, 5-4 in conference. Not great; not bad; certainly not worse than LB girls have been doing for a while. Just because the self-appointed coaching society/whining parents league isn't happy doesn't mean she doesn't know her business. The dogs bark on this board; the caravan moves on.

They QUIT. As in, they dont play anymore. As in, other kids were better, not snot-nosed and lazy.
Just because the quitter's parents cant watch little Suzie dribble off her foot anymore, doesn't require any action whatsoever from the LB coach or administration. And the whining from some fat-assed helicopter-mom who wouldn't know a basketball from a football doesn't make it "right".
And you whiners come here to rabble rouse, pure and simple. If your kids knew what you were writing on a public message board, they'd be EXTREMELY embarrassed.

I think it is much deeper than playing time much much deeper. So until you know the whole truth maybe you need to keep your opinions to yourself. Better yet go watch a game i have and its awful.

Unlike some people on this blog who call people names and trash kids, some people have more class than to put certain things on the internet. So Circle of Whine is a friend of the coach, a coach or some parent who does not know basketball. Maybe one of these days someone will post "the whole story."
Wins and Losses are not the only measure of a good program. Ok, sports crazies, go ahead and slam me now. But some things are MUCH more important than basketball --- like setting a good example (what did the earlier poster say about stomping off at a game) not using bad language (and I don't care that professional coaches do this it is hs) and other things that are blatantly wrong but do not belong on here. YES PEOPLE I SAID IT. Some things matter more than winning.
This is the fault of LB adminstration pure and simple.

If your kid is coming up in that school wanting to play girls basketball run as fast as you can to another school. This is not a place to discuss the big issue just be careful and don't trust anyone if you have an issue. I promise it will be lied about and swept under the rug. If you want your kid to learn the right values take them to west Springfield or Robinson. I'm not saying all schools don't have issues but at some as a parent you are not allowed to voice anything. If you read this blog it seems to me that a lot of parents now and the years before are angry.

Well, I have a hard time when people tell me there's a big issue, but won't say what it is. My daughter's a couple of years away; anything could happen between now and then, but you're not doing your position justice if you won't even say what it is.

for the people (angry parents, obviously) who slander this coach, give it a rest. your posts are transparent and unnecessary.

Sorry, you still sound like a blithering, whining, know-nothing mom. You're the type that demands a refund of all your groceries from Giant because the plastic bag, which you DONT recycle, was ripped when you got home.
Waddle your fat whining ass into the AD's office and air your "grievance". He'll give you your 15 minutes of whine and you can feel better about yourself. And for God's sake, get off a message board. Your kid is reading your bullshit.
And, FYI, you know nothing of CHARACTER. If you did, you wouldn't be here. Also, you write like a 6th grader.

What is Character
()
Date: January 27, 2012 10:43AM
I am not a parent of any child there. But I feel badly for them.
I was however a coach.
I did not use curse words or stomp off in fits of anger;
I treated every child with respect and dignity;
When kids came to me I listened to their concerns and did not blow them off;
(as one poster indicated was done last year)
I treated parents with respect and did not punish their children for the parents concerns (that was in a post too)
And most of all.............
I adhered to the same standards that were expected of the players regarding their conduct.
That is character. Win or lose. That is character. Parents, players, alumni, etc. not only have a right to expect it but to DEMAND it.

Hey I am in AAU circuit in this county. Been to a few games this year. And I know the kids who play AAU. A couple of those kids who dont start and don't play should be. Go ahead and say I an angry parent if you want. But if you spent as much time as I have around basketball you would know much of what is being said is valid. Something about this situation stinks and it is not the girls sweaty sneakers.

Strong willed is ok as long as the driving force is kids welfare and not for your own ego.
Having no direction at this level is not acceptable.
I am friends with some of parents. They are afraid to speak up so they shake their heads in dismay. They fear the fallout because the admnistration has a history of looking other way. They are ready to punish kids for rule violations but turn a blind eye when it comes to adults. Poor leadership on behalf of administration. People can say what they want about C. Harris but he was and is a man of the highest character and with flawless integrity. AD needs to think long and hard about what is the right thing and not easy thing.

The administration definitely does not look the other way. They always support the parents before their coaches. Have your parents complain to the AD and see what happens to the coach. The coach will want to leave....trust me. Even the coaches who have a winning program get little support which is baffling.

The problem with these girls that aren't playing is their parents didn't prepare them for high school basketball. They played on the same AAU team with the same coach from about 6th grade on. Their parents never took them out of their comfort zone. They never told them hey when you get to high school you may not like your coach and you will have two choices play or quit. By not preparing them they set them up to fail. The whole ride home these same parents are telling their kid you are so good and your teammate x is much worse then you why does she play more? Your coach is so stupid. What they do unknowingly is break down the team and erase any respect the coach has earned with the player. For the parents on this thread such it up and deal with it. Tell your kids in life nothing is fair. The only thing they deserve in school its an education not playing time or a coach they like.
BTW - the coach must be doing right by one of the kids who was recently nominated as 2nd team all-met. When was the last time LB had that honor?

Why do you think these girls have played on the same AAU team aren't there four soph four fresh and four juniors? How do you know who has played together unless you are directly involved with that team? I just looked at their roster and four from each grade. How do you know what the parents say to the kids? I have a child who plays a diffrent sport and always tell him to work harder and if he has a bad game I never sugar coat it. So you judging what parents say to their kids is your opinion. Unless I am in car with other parents or hear them I don't pass judgement on what they do with their children.

Natalie Butler is a true talent. Of course she will he honored. She earned this inspite of the staff not becuase of it.

Hey preparation is not needed for this team. Couple of starters had never even heard the words AAU til this year. If you read an earlier post it clearly says two never even played County. Just maybe the coach is wrong. Maybe it is politics. Who knows. Yes one of the lessons of life is things are not fair. Another is to stand up for what you think is right.

Im not saying you are coaching staff! I was merly asking questions to your post. I do believe that all children need a positive example whether that be by coaches, teachers, parents etc... I'm not saying this coach is bad i have no idea if she is. I'm not a parent of a child there so I don't know but It just seemed like your post was stating that the parents are telling their children they are good? Some parents may but not all parents do so you sound like your pointing fingers at ALL parents sorry if I read your post wrong. But it also sounds like you either have a child on that team or are close in some way. Sorry if my post offended you it was not meant that way at all. I'm actually tired of hearing the nasty arguing.

So OBVIOUSLY "Season is almost over" doesn't have a fucking clue as to what he/she/it is talking about, since Brenda Frese was at the game. I mean I am right, right? Or, maybe AAU season is now in full swing. Dumb ass.
I can only assume she was looking at Butler. Not too sure what all the hoopla is about LB and their coach. I have seen them play Robinson, twice in the Christmas tournament, and last night. If anyone on the thread thinks for a second that that team hasn't improved, then there is something extremely wrong with what you consider "improvement".
In the Robinson game, LB was blown out. It was something like 17 or 19-2 at the end of the 1st qtr. Rob let up and so LB had some dignity left.
I saw the Christmas tournament and you could tell they had improved, albeit not very much, though they should have lost to LC.
Then tonight I saw a team that was nothing like the same team I saw in December. They actually looked like they had some idea of what they were doing.
So, in closing:
LB's coach can't be doing everything wrong if her team is getting better, and you idiots who post on here killing this lady are nothing but a bunch of people who honestly don't have one iota of what you're are talking about.
That is all.

At a USJN tournament there would have been over 200 schools in a the gym. Looking at about 1,200 girls. So again recruiting is not done at the high school level anymore. In the case of the jr at LB she doesn't play AAU so you may get a few trickling in. If she was on the circuit she would have offers already. Like the other jr that would have been at LB and is instead at PVI. Last count she had 4 offers. I will take offers over Brenda Freese watching someone any day of the week. I take nothing away from the player my point was in 2 weeks the season would be over and LB parents could focus on another coach to complain about. Translation I was on the coaches side.

See if you can absorb that.
We don't have time to explain sensible things to those who should already know that. OY!

When you take kids who have never played and don't know the fundadmentals and start and play them over seasoned players game after game of course they will get better. They had no where to go but up......
You are probably the same person talking about kids sucking, etc. etc.
Of course nothing will change. It NEVER does with LB sports. LB more interested in status quo than doing the right think.
Talk to the parents.....if you can get them to talk. Most too afraid and who can blame them?? Sit in the stands.
The Coach is a good person and was a great player.......no one questions that.

Good people dont curse at players in practice and during games..good people dont refuse to go in the locker room at half time cause their team pissed them off...and get techs good people dont drink at parties where team parents and players are present and then drive home afterwards, they set an example...good people dont not respond to parents requests for a 10 minute meeting in order to decide if they want their daughter to play for you...good people dont shut up all the seniors and a very good junior player when they ask to be heard causing them to quit the team (and no you are NOT a quitter if you refuse to be abused)and finally,you absolutely are NOT a "Great" player if you played D-3 ball for a few years at Mary f-en Washington ! lol a google search will find you some assists and jumpers in 2006-08, equal press to the turnovers and fouls and you;ll be hardpressed to find a game where she scored more than 16 once. So no lets not pretend this job was landed on anything other than a 'connection' with the AD...enough to disregard some extremely qualified candidates.

I live in the neighborhood and used to attend Friday girls and/ or boys home games with my dad until I head about some of these things. Looks like someone finally brought up another big elephant in the room that was not previously addressed., only took three pages to get to it, the party most everyone knows about where coach and her assistant coach brother drank(covered by a koozie like that fooled the girls),the team was there, parents were there (I will verify this as I spoke to 2 personally so this is not false gossip. I also saw one of the LBB players at Noodles and asked her about this party and she said "I have been told not to talk about it so I'd rather not" WOWWwwser ) All drove home afterwards. This drinking at a LB sports affiliated party was brought up to AD who told concerned citizens who asked him that he had researched it and it was "handled". His official line is that things were exaggerated. ----drinking, driving, drinking driving, those two words should not go together EVER, no exaggeration to it !
Things were 'handled'REALLY? How so?I dont recall any coach suspensions at the very least! The sports participation handbook for Fairfax county sets forth strict policies for offenses. Be curious if there is even a letter of reprimand in the file which I doubt. If a student participating in a sport drinks they are at the very least suspended but if the coach drinks &drives it is ok. after all, she is perrrrrty . Coaches are of a legal age so it is ok? the AD pumped up the resume of his hand picked Vogues pick as stated in previous posts, he does not want to reprimand or research this, there is a vested interest in sweeping this all under the Fairfax cty/ LB good ol boy network rug. Great example setting. I think of it every time I drive up Burke Lake road and pass the tree that is a memorial to a young Lake Braddock girl whose life was cut short there , from apparently thinking this could never happen to her. Maybe she watched this behavior condoned somewhere as well....The crap that seems to REALLY go on at LB goes far beyond whether the 2 little freshmen with no basketball experience should be on the team, or if they have improved after starting out not knowing how to run a three on three drill in a varsity practice, or if the team can get a couple more wins than previous Vogues coach Harris. It has gone from horrible to just plain bad so there is improvement.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Not sure how this person responding to recent posts could conclude there is a "bitchy parent' issue in the previous post when that person was clearly just a neighborhood person who sounds like they know some of the parents and attended games. Clearly they mention nothing asociated with play time of their daughter. They are concerned about character and immaturity of a coach who sets the example of drinking and driving. Drinking more would not cure the clearly deep seeded issues associated with that program that seem to run past even the Vogues/LB Athletic director . Serious allegations here should not be taken lightly that could end up with more girls wrapped around trees and some jerk sums that up as a 'bitchy parent'.

This thread is getting really redundant. If even 10% of the stuff on here is true (and of course we know EVERYTHING on FU is true--no rumor or innuendo here), AND if parents are not getting heard at the school level, then they need go above that level to the cluster office WITH EVIDENCE in the form of affadavits, etc. and demand that their concerns be addressed. Believe me, this has been done before with coaches being fired as a result. Better yet, just call the Post and get one of their reporters on it. FCPS hates it when they make headlines about stuff like this.

Well, then call the Post but continuing to post on here won't do a thing. Or, better yet, do what everyone else does and move your future WNBA star out of the district or to a private like Paul VI. Heck, even one of LB's current GBB players played with Robinson for part of the summer, including team camp, before deciding to stay put. And it worked out well for Zanellato on the football side to make a switch when he and his parents weren't happy with how he was being treated/utilized/peddled to recruiters, etc,, etc. at Robinson.

Lets ADD to the 10% truths on here and not make it sound like Butler decided to "stay put" at Lake Braddock on her own. The family applied to Robinson to do the IB program and German emersion and the AD denied it. The school nixed that one just as it did when the Curtis' girl who went to PVI tried to transfer to Robinson for the IB program. Butlers were looking at the private schools as well but Natalie would have had to play JV for a year at that point as is the WCAC rule. The Zanellatos were able to MOVE into LB district or they would have had an issue as well.

Never named names and never said she did. And if the JV rule is true, how did the kid who played Varsity at a different FCPS school her Freshman year and transferred to a WCAC school her sophomore year (last year) play Varsity right away? And it is still not an untruth to say that her family decided she should stay put. They could have made a different decision and moved or let her play JV at the private school or just sit out a season, train and play AAU which is where 99% of recruiting occurs anyway. She's a great player and D1 coaches will find her wherever she is.
At any rate, I have NO sympathy for LB parents at all. The LB football coach is the biggest, most classless ass I have ever seen. If he had a losing record, he'd be gone. LB's parents just tolerate him because all they care about is winning. Believe me, if this GBB coach had LB on the path to States, we wouldn't be hearing a word other than the usual classless behavior of LB fans from the stands.

Call the freakin' Washington Post. Tell the Fairfax Connection. Tell the folks at Patch. But you don't have the stones; you'd rather just drop mysterious anonymous accusations. Way to accomplish precisely NOTHING. I hope the coach keeps her job forever, just to shove it up your collective asses.

10% Truths
()
Date: February 09, 2012 06:45PM
Very simple to look up the WCAC rules. Anyone can play Freshman or Sophomore year immediately. When you hit your Junior year you can no longer go straight to Varsity. Butler is a Junior so she would have had to sit out for a year on JV. I personally think the higher caliber practice team with varsity there would have raised her game and taught her more with the well connected and knowledgeable coach there but certainly understand the sacrifices that would have meant to give up friends and the comfort of a short drive to school. The Curtis girl played Varsity at LB her freshman year and transferred to PVI her Sophomore year and played immediately, till injured. Just saying, You did not paint the full picture, you painted it with half a brush stroke. Not everyone can pick up and move their lives and purchase a new home at the drop of a hat when AD and his Robinson buddy decide to finally answer at end of summer to NOT permit the transfer. Seems to be an agreement there in place. The moveon. post states they "decided to stay put" that is not the full truth. now you have it. Last few posts talking about going to the press and that everyone is a pussy for not doing so. parents and community have been attempting to work up the chain and are seeing the resistence and stonewalling from AD. It is an appalling and eye-opening experience I am sure. Did they contact a school board contact?? YES !! They were told they discussed it with the AD and it is a non-issue. They have simply been trying to keep it in house but there have been attempts. I would bet after the season is over you will hear more. Maybe the seniors who quit or their parents will speak out to make things better for those that follow. but current parents know if they speak out they are punished, daughter benched, that is quite simply the 100% truth

The lesson here is drinking of any kind does not mix well with high school sports. It is clearly not supposed to happen per rules.
Fairfax County, like almost all counties in this country already do, needs to educate staff and then enforce its zero tolerance policy. It is about character. In other words, don't tell me how to behave, show me. Way more important than hoops.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
When something is true it is not slander so take the big legalese and shove it. If someone wants to post here they can and you can stop checking it . You can google stuff here and see it is true. It is what it is what it is and it is true.
enough is enough of the abusive unchecked power so after the season we should all look into approaching the "cluster" and ask for an investigation. we meaning parents, kids, concerned community members, alumni, former parents and kids who left for private schools, players forced to quit etc. you can see how AD has hired the last three coaches from his Vogues organization over very qualified candidates.
--Enough is enough. many have apparently known about the drinking party where coaches drove home but noone brought it up till page three here . The resolution is NOT to tell the athletes to not play you moron. This volunteer sport participation is at a public high school where residents pay taxes and kids and parents have "usually" (except on Lake Braddock) put in a lot of time, dues and effort to reach playing varsity for their school team. They have a right to play for their school if they have put in the time over the years, they have a right to expect that they will be given a fair shot with the most qualified coach who has earned the right to run a program at a school the size of Lake Braddock. They have a right to be coached by a mature seasoned coach at this level. It is a dream for many that is not resolved by just not playing because a rogue A D can do whatever he wants and hire the least experienced pretty candidate. You attempt to address the problem but as stated for three pages the AD has a rubber stamp from some stacked 'approval committee' .other leagues available? There is only one high school that your child attends and one basketball team. You don't QUIT and wait for AAU season or just not play. The answer is to try and change the system if it has no ethical standards. The system is broken and rampant with abusive power that sweeps everything under the rug, punishes the parents and kids for raising anything and this is definitely not over. Enough is enough of the sacrificial lamb play toy of the AD called girls basketball at LB.

Love the Rosa Parks analogy.? And I suppose all women who previously did not have the right to vote should have left the country as well? And homosexuals should kill themselves cause fighting for equality is a waste of time, and blacks should have stuck to their own drinking fountains. What a complete jerk
In a democratic country people can usually speak up but in Lake Braddock there are numerous families who have tried to do so over the years and have they have been punished for doing so. In a democratic country the powers that be have checks and balances. It is not a perfect system but it has allowed this country to prosper.There is a legislative a judicial and the executive branch. The president can not make unilateral decisions without being reigned in by the other branches and answer to the electorate. At Lake Braddock there are no checks and balances, it is clear the athletic director has all the control over any decision related to GBB. It is a dictatorship. He does well in most of the other programs so the principals pat answer to people who try to even bring up anything to him is that he has hired an AD to hire coaches and it is HIS decision all the way. There is a review committee which he is on but they just go through the motions of an interview as it is clear to everyone the AD makes the decision. So the review committee is a joke. I do not have a stake in the battle but I feel sorry for them. My son played on the boys side years ago so I am aware of how things work there. LOl wish I had a blog to vent on during those years but HEY you guys really should follow up and call for an investigation!!

Took two pages to find out principal did not care, took three pages to find out there was a drinking party some coaches drank at and drove hpme after and the athletic director knew and nothing noticible was done except to cover the fact and minimalize it.

@#$%^ Take action is the only thing that will empower you and those after you. If not you than who and if not now then when. I want to hear about it when some parents or someone with direct experience takes ACTION !!

Nice little circle jerk of people who don't like the coach you've got here. Not that you're going to do anything about it but complain. Gutless punks.

Even more hysterical was watching the athletic director talk to the new pretty young coach after he hired her. She was attending her then Coach fiance's team Oakton playing Lake Braddock in baseball. A bunch of us were sitting on the lawn watching the game and we watched as the AD spoke to the pretty coach. it was like a shy 7th grader turning red as he spoke to the pretty girl in his math class he always had the crush on, shuffling his feet, shifting back and forth. I remember we were all laughing it was so sad. AD had no game, no swag. now that was hysterical and makes me wonder

The people here have pointed out some serious issues and others have said parents tried to get resolution.

OK all
So DO something
Band together.
Ask the parents of the seniors, and the junior who quit, and the parents who took their kids to PVI maybe?? to try and band together and make a change since the players of current parents woud be punished. It is the modus operandi of that AD there to divide and conquer. While my son played there and there were deep concerns about the boys side he would never allow a parent meeting in his office. He would say he did not like things getting out of control etc. I recall this in particular. He has been doing this for many many years. I tried to do it when my son was there. My son was being recruited by all the private schools and AAU teams going into 9th grade but we went with all the honor of playing for "your community, your school". When the coach took a disliking to him if he questioned anything he said he was benched. If my husband or I would ask why he was further punished. It was like Stallag 13 in those walls. My son got injured and their coach was upset with him and made him feel like a pussy for not playing but well, it does not matter. Hey it all turned out fine but you cant just complain and not take action. I wish I had done something at the time. Dont regret your non-action or in 10 years it will be another Vogues coach other parents are complaining about and you will then be just another poster on a blog who never did anything to make a change.
I remember it took a few brave parents of the girls team to band together and made tapes of the previous coach's games. i/e/ a tape of them actually losing to either Lee or WestPo when they were up by ten with under two minutes to play and they actually lost the game. I mean you have to try for that to happen and never call a time out. or run a stall play right? They pushed and pushed and the AD had to bring their concerns to the coach who just resigned after this. I remember those parents sitting in the stands taking over / under bets on how many turnovers this game (35 rings a bell) yet they never practiced fundamentals like passing etc. So the AD sure showed them ! And another inexperienced Vogues coach is brought in. (Like Mr Carter said, It is not her fault), She was just told by AD to apply and she was hired. It is the hiring structure you all need to address. She is young and naive, one can not really fault this whole thing on her . she had no experience to warrant this size a program . Someone tells me to go to Fort Knox, gives me the key and says Have at it, Well my first thought would not be 'What am I getting into here and do I deserve this. Am I qualified, Am I fit to lead a program this size?". I am walking into the vault and loading up. It is human nature for an optimist to believe it will all work out. She does not know what she does not know at this age or stage.
This blog started out asking about 'why the turnover'? You need to address the fundamental root of the problem. The lack of checks and balances (good one previous poster) in the hiring process. I am familiar with the other applicants and what happened in our community is clearly a travesty of power. This actually could have been a true district contender with the right choice for grooming this program.
I know you all say the principal is part of the network but are you sure the school board member the AD approached was the right one in the chain? Address a letter to the board and ask them if they are aware a school board member told you the AD had researched the drinking episode and told them it was a non-issue. It would carry more weight if you sign your names. If a school board is found to be complacent in something like this they open themselves to legal action for not doing any due diligence if any of the girls at that party were to drink, drive and die and then it is learned they were previously at a party their coaches and parents drank at but nothing was ever done. Not to mention the Post feeding frenzy. It is that simple, as they like to say in this blog. At the very least the AD should have researched it and taken action based on the results of that independant investigation. That is a serious issue at least as serious as the drinking and driving itself.

So to be clear the people on this blog, and a number of them, said the coaches of the team drank at a team function and the school took no action when notified? Is that accurate? And this violatea FCPS policy, correct?
I can see why parents are scared. Their kids would suffer.
But why no action.? Can someone explain?

Okay assholes, here you go:
Reason there is turnover - in order:
SAD Martino
Asshole parents of LB kids
Local youth basketball teams not preparing players
Soccer
Asshole parents of LB kids
SAD Martino
Surely, the coach was on the floor and blew the 10 point lead vs West Potomac.
Surely, the coach sent the kids to PVI.
No matter who the coach is/was past few years, you would get the same results!!
S A M E R E S U L T S Thank God, pretty girl has Big Girl to save her ass.
Coach will be back next year, then leave when Butler leaves. New coach will have shit left, shit coming in and then we all can shampoo, rinse, repeat, shampoo... all over again. Maybe the boundaries will once again change and give LB an even larger base to pull in kids from.
New coach has Dad coaching the game from the scorer's table anyway or should we all wait for Page 5 to chime in.
Stolen season ?!?!? did you look at Lee and South County ?!?!?

Ms Cluster I think you are mistaken. From the way I read this blog the AD did not go to the school board. The parent(s)? went to a school board member who then asked the AD about the party in question and it was the AD who came back to the school board and told them, him or her that the whole thing was an 'exaggeration' and a non-issue. No girls or parents were ever given the opportunity to anonymously contribute the truth.

If so, call child protective services, the parents aren't qualified to care for these great basketball players! The parents are horrible role models and dangers to society!
Someone find the CPS link on the county website and post the contact info here!

If one was reading the blog or if they used their brains... their daughters were there some of which are old enough to drive. Or a spouse who was designated driver. You make stupid unfounded assumptions. The coach and her brother did not have a designated \driver.

Yes, Butler's success is because of her and her dad. She is a great player and an even better person.
A shining star within a program covered by dark clouds.
I live in the community and from what I have heard there have been attempts at change. Parents can have a drink or two. That is NOT the point. The point is FCPS forbids this for coaches and teachers. Almost every athletic group with clout forbids it. And most places follow through. It is a county regulation folks. When the AD and principal know and refuse to act then what are people supposed to do? Stage a sit-in?

Is is possible that the coach was disciplined -- a reprimand, a letter in her file, something else -- and the system isn't obligated to share that discipline with a bunch of people who are plainly looking for ANYTHING to use to bust this coach? What obligation would they have to share the results of any employee discipline with this sewing circle?

If the varsity women's team basketball coaches did in fact drink at a team function, this article speaks volumes.
Coaches shouldn't drink around their athletes
By Craig Smith
Seattle Times staff reporter
Q: Situation: Basketball team wins big game and one set of parents invites all the other parents, players and coaches over to their home to celebrate with pizza. The hosts have soft drinks for the students but offer the adults alcoholic beverages. Is the coach making a mistake if he or she has an alcoholic drink in this setting?
A: Yes. Personally, I didn't think it was a big deal if the coaches had a beer or cocktail, but the half-dozen coaches and administrators I consulted sure did. And the more I thought about it, I realized they are probably right.
John Ruby, who coached Foss of Tacoma to the 2000 4A state boys basketball title, said drinking alcohol in front of players "blurs the lines and will make it difficult to be fully in 'coach role' when the players have that image to look back on."
Jerry Parrish, retired North Kitsap football coach who is secretary-treasurer of the Washington Coaches Association, said, "The coach is making a big mistake if he accepts an offer of alcohol. Kids do not need to see the coach in a situation where beer, wine or whatever is being consumed."
One athletic director said he recommends his coaches ask if liquor will be present at any gathering and politely decline the invitation if alcohol is going to be served.
I liked the answer of one of the state's most successful basketball coaches who in so many words told me that he would have a beer with his assistants after a tough game, especially on a weekend night. But he would make sure there were no kids or parents around when they sat down.

Idon't thnk anybody's arguing that if a coach drank in front of her players, that would be a good idea. We don't know if the coach was punished. I'm getting the impression that a lot of people on this board think she should have been fired if she did have a beer in front of the players, and that's just kind of stupid.

I'm getting the impression that a lot of people on this board think she should have been fired if she did have a beer in front of the players, and that's just kind of stupid.

I am gonna repost this. People don't need to look to far for a reason to complain.
This, coupled with the possible drinking, tells the whole story. Kids get suspended for five games if they do it.
REPOST:
I am not a parent of any child there. But I feel
badly for them.
I was however a coach.
I did not use curse words or stomp off in fits of
anger;
I treated every child with respect and dignity;
When kids came to me I listened to their concerns
and did not blow them off;
(as one poster indicated was done last year)
I treated parents with respect and did not punish
their children for the parents concerns (that was
in a post too)
And most of all.............
I adhered to the same standards that were expected
of the players regarding their conduct.
That is character. Win or lose. That is
character. Parents, players, alumni, etc. not
only have a right to expect it but to DEMAND it.

Again -- I would agree that it wasn't a good idea if the coach drank in view of her players. But we don't know if she was punished; I don't know if it's even a punishable offense, although it certainly should be. But I would bet if it IS a punishable offense, it's not a 5 game suspension for an adult. All we know is that she wasn't suspended. There's a whole world of possible punishments out there short of suspension or firing. And, face it, firing her is what a lot of you want.

Disclaimer: I'm not qualified to comment on this particular situation...don't know any facts or details beyond what I'm reading here.
That said, I've seen a disturbing trend in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia recently of parents trying to go through various different avenues to try publicly to assert their influence and get coaches fired.
I have a few friends who have been coaches in the past, and I can tell you...the environment is poisonous for coaches these days. After a group of parents works in the public forum to get a coach fired, that school becomes something of a pariah for good, qualified coaches. For example, a head varsity basketball coach in this area makes MAYBE $5K a year. These people just flat aren't going to want to work for a school where it's well known that parents will march on the principal at the first sign of any discontent on the part of the players.
Parents: If you don't like the coach, and it means that much to you, then just take your kid off the team. There is life outside of high school basketball.
Just my two cents.

noone is on here not one post saying FIRE THE COACH as far as I recall. I am reading a current of feeling sorry for her thrust into a situation that was way above her head that she did not have the qualifications and experience to lead. The character issue is palpable. The current on here is about the athletic directors abuse of unchecked power hiring inexperienced Vogue coaches. pay attention. It is a matter of character, setting an example and not drinking and driving . a letter of reprimand if not previously done will surely now be slid in by the AD before any school board reinvestigation or cluster group contact. Appears Nothing was done at the time as stated the AD told parents and school board member it was 'exaggerated'. He would rather cover his behind for his hiring decision than research and take action. Depraved empty character tanks across the spectrum. Are you paying any attention? You cant set this kind of an example to your team, behavior during a game with techs, not cursing at kids in practice,not refusing to go into lockerroom at half time, not responding to any eMails, not having ten minutes to meet with the parent(s) of kid who left for PVI despite a few texted requests. I know that mom offered to meet her before work, during her lunch hour or any night and coach could not make the time to meet the starting center's mom for even 10 min except to offer one meeting time before a summer game when she had already been sent schedule that girl would be at NCAA pre-Jr Nationals meeting. The mom was open minded and wanted to meet the woman and talk basketball is all. One of the applicants was going to bring his 6'2" daughter, who is also highly recruited,with him to Lake Braddock . That applicant had state titles, D1 playing experience and knew the recruiting world and contacts inside and out. 20+ years of coaching experience and dealing with players and parents and we could go on about all the other applicants. There would have been a very different team dynamic here with the seniors who quit, the junior guard that quit, the PVI girls, the tall experienced daughter addition and natalie. They surely would have known how to run a 3 on 3 drill at the outset of the season. There are just so many sad 'if only's' here and an AD gets to bring in his hand picked Vogues inexperienced coach. It boggles the thinking mans mind.
I also would like to know what is meant by the coaches dad coaching the games from scorer's table. I have not been for a while. Is this true?

lets put this Washington Post press in perspective
Awesome article for white suburbia Fairfax County school and wonderful accomplishment. She is a great young lady and from what I see and hear, humble. I want to see her play with and against some real competition though ! Some teammates who have played on more than church teams or area BRYC level AAu teams. They played West Springfield with Georgetown commit Logan Battle out (but then again she is barely 6'so it would be interesting)
I am sure the 9 coaches that have been to see play want the same! Play against or with Faith Randolph, Lindsey Spann, Rhamat Alhassan, Pandora Wilson, Lanay Montgomery, Zoe BEard-Falls or Casey Curtis(both pre-injury), Jade Clark, Mooriah Rowser, Lindsay Allen, Kate Gillespie, Jonquel Jones, Brittnay Jenkins, Dejane Boykin, Arianna Freeman, Marlena Tremba, Dada, Alston, Tashia Butler, Tyshell King, etc etc with other teammates that can play, I mean really Play and have basketball smarts. Put Lake Braddock on the floor in any gym against Riverdale Baptist, Good Counsel, St Johns, Holy Cross, Aberdeen, Mcdonogh, Gaithersburg, HD Woodson, Northpoint and they will leave crying. Undoubtable that there will be offers based on the progress in such a short time, the potential and the height. A rose among thorns. True, as stated above, A shining star within a program covered by dark clouds and we still would like to see in a competitive setting with all good teammates.

Truth is Coach Harris and his team need to be re-hired now and a formal apology issued to them.
They were and are people of the highest standards that kids can look up to and be proud to play for.
They set an example! Time to do the right thing Mr. AD.

Yes, watch the game tonight and who Pretty talks and runs idea through.
It is not her younger Assistant coach- who is more qualified and a better coach, it is not the other loud mouth tall lady on the bench or even her brother.
It is her dad at the scorer's table.
Most of their lazy asses don't do anything for the basketball community or for AAU.
What is the concern with them being Vogues coaches? Vogues has been around since late 70's, many current AAU teams (Stars) are simply break offs of them. Also, would not consider one year of 7th grade Regional team a qualification. In fact, she missed many weekends of those.
Enjoy your last game tonight LB folks, the lynch mob will be outside waiting for you all.
Yes, I am an unhappy parent and yes, it has to do with playing time for mine !!

Real problems here. This is clearly NOT one or two parents. It is a community.
Win or lose tonite, later in the week or at regionals, this team has problems.

A simple problem to solve this problem for now.
Move the varsity coach back to Freshman or JV where she belongs. Send her to communications training. Let her get some experience.
Hire Vern Butler. Look what he did for his daughter per today’s Post. And I am serious about this. Bring integrity and experience back to that program now.
No one would argue with giving that job to Vern Butler. He knows how to both coach and play.

Nothing wrong with the Vogues. My own daughter played for them years ago. problem is with the athletic director being so intwined with the organization, He coached for them, his daughters played for them, he has hired at least the last three coaches from them after padding their resumes there. So involved with them that he has free will to disregard 5 other extremely qualified candidates THAT is the issue. America is a democracy and high school should have some of the same principles of checks and balances in hiring matters. You could give LB Priester (Vogues coach and Oakton coach who just placed the Coyer sisters at Villanova// NFHS 2010 Mideast Section Coach of the Year ) any day. Say what you want at least the man knows how to train and coach the game and does not check with daddy at the scorers table. An AD should not have free reign to place unqualified, yes I said it, candidates as varsity coach ever again especially when the applicant pool was so deep.

Let us see how the TALENT does in AAU, this go around.
Has anyone seen that post handle the ball? Curtis? Not
Now, there were 5 qualified candidates? Not
Go film tonight game too and get that lynch mob in action. Parents, you have scared away the next ones too.

Now there were 5 qualified candidates YES! The parents that year got their resumes and one went into principals office with them!
1.Calvin Crenshaw- would have brought Dyamond with him
2. Rocky Carter- currently at the school oaching boys team with Metress and teaching phys ed // and a saint as you can see by his post on this blog. coached AAU for MANy years and led the girls basketball program at Annandale for a while
3.Dave Mcrae
4.Paula something who was a pupil of crenshaw and had a basketball training business , played D-1 ball and played ball professionally in Europe. She was not even interviewed. appears that AD could then say he wanted to hire a girl who the girls could relate to and that is why he went with coach he hand picked. This 'wanted to try a female' is what principal told parent who brought him the other 4 resumes Ummmmmmmm brilliant reason, cause pretty coach has different hardware between the legs.
5. Jim Watson
Would you like to now debate their qualifications and years and years of experience, D-1 placements, D1 ball playing experience, state titles, years of high level AAU experience , commissioner of BRYC, and that is just for starters. Years of experience dealing with players and parents and so forth. We can go through each one and compare it to the new hire
---Yes DO go ahead and tape tonights game you might see more character shining through--- Pretty coach threw her water bottle across the floor at West Po game and screamed "Goddammit can't anyone fuckin play defense? "Put a video on her and send it to the school board.
You must be some D-3 college scout or pissed off LB parent if Curtis is no good cause 60+ schools sending letters and eMails non stop seem to think she is. 6 offers already- D-1 -- and Ivy leagues also asking for SAT scores so you are clueless. Ivy leagues cant make 'offers' She has been out with a broken hand most of the season but had a great summer.
Yes, Priester really. He is an EXcellent coach and can teach the game of basketball. Award: NFHS 2010 Mideast Section Coach of the Year- The Mideast section includes Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Well over 500 wins and you want to debate if he can coach? BWAAAaaahahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaa He does not have to check with daddy at the scorers table.

Go watch pretty girl scream at the girls in locker room when she is one causing the struggles. When you play weak players expect to lose. No coach would ever play freshman on a team with no skill but pretty girl has pumped thier heads so full of crap they are nasty to the other players. No REAL coach would of even put them at the varsity level. So to you people who are just talking to be talking maybe you should blog elsewhere.

Surely the parents of these AAU players know this is not the way you run a team
My daughter has friends on this team. There is no morale. Frosh have been given every chance. She benches the kids whose parents speak up.

So Lake Braddock takes the first round against Woodson. Big girl scores about 30 as Woodson has no answer to that size. Woodson does not even have anyone over 5'10 or 11. Good luck to the girls in round 2.

This is not funny! This is scary that coaches are allowed to act like this in front of teenagers that parents are trying to teach their children to be responsible adults. It's a shame that the ad cares more about his coach than his players. It worries me what these kids are learning guess its ok to party hard in college too. That's it go bruins drink hard in college.

It's scary that parents are trying to teach their children to be responsible by hosting a team party with alcohol where all the adults drink and drive their kids home and then the coach is accused of having the problem!
Drunk driving = felony!
Bad coaching = 4 (hopefully 5) pages of underground material about a school with no tradition of winning girls hoops!
Stay classy LB parents!

Coaches who drink at team functions violate FCPS policy. It is a reg. Look it up. VHSL does not condone it. Responsible school systems take action. I dont believe anyone said parents were drunk.
Not the point. YES the coaches were WRONG. Repeat. Wrong.
Look either enforce the regulation or remove it. But don't cover it up, downplay it or act like it was no big deal. Coaches have to lead by example. It was and is wrong. What about bad language, disrespect of players and parents? Temper Tantrums?
The kids deserve better. Sleep on that

I've read them. I challenge you to produce the regulation that prohibits coaches from drinking at an off-site, non-school activity when other adults are legally consuming alcohol. I KNOW VHSL does NOT prohibit it. I've never seen it in writing in FCPS other than the "morals" clause of contracts for teachers and school-based employess.
Personally, I can't believe a coach would drink in front of players. But if it's legal and the kids' parents are all legally consuming alcohol in front of their kids, what additional damage does the coach do to these kids? Classless? Yes. Wrong? Why? Kids take more direction from coaches than parents? What f'd up logic is that?
Parents lead by example. What about anonymous internet allegations, rumors of back room deals to get the job, parents whining about playing time on the ffx undeground? Internet temper tantrums?
The kids deserve better. Sleep on that!
Come on, so close to five pages of meaningless blogging!

This sounds like the parents are saying an overall issue not just drinking or playing time. It's apparent that you have read are either involved or just a troll. I'm guessing troll due to ignorance and just plain nasty person. I think the parents are concerned about role models it's very apparent that they are trying to do what they believe is right. Unlike you who has some vendetta against parents. Better yet you think you can do better why don't you call that school and ask for her job since you seem to be a lonely person. I say to all parents at that school do what you believe is right.

History of drunk driving laws
The first jurisdiction in the United States of America to adopt laws against drunk driving was New York in 1910, with California and others following. Early laws simply prohibited driving while intoxicated, requiring proof of a state of intoxication with no specific definition of what level of inebriation qualified.
In 1938, the American Medical Association created a "Committee to Study Problems of Motor Vehicle Accidents". At the same time, the National Safety Council set up a "Committee on Tests for Intoxication".
In the US, most of the laws and penalties were greatly enhanced starting in the late 1970s, and through the 1990s, largely due to pressure from groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and leaders like Candy Lightner. Significantly, zero tolerance laws were enacted which criminalized driving a vehicle with 0.01% or 0.02% BAC for drivers under 21.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The above is the Wikipedia history of drinking and driving laws. Capeche?? Someone is seriously posting an arguement here that nothing OTHER than a MORALS clause prohibits coaches drinking at team events?? I think that is PLENTY! God forbid we expect soneone to set an example and have morals !! They CHALLENGE people to submit a specific clause to prohibit drinking and driving home from an event? R U Kidding Me?? This is not a referendum on whatever parents drank who may have been driven home by child or spouse as stated earlier. it is known that coach and brother drank and they did not have designated drivers. Fairfax County has employed said individual and she has brought brother on board. Whether she and he are over 21 and of consentual age is not the question. The next HUGE thing is that the AD did not investigate the incident in question and the third thing is that it was blown off as "exaggerated" and swept under the rug. Herein lies the problem. There is a Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) that every student / athlete must sign, surely the same standards are expected of Fairfax county teachers and coaches?
Rumors of back room deals to land the job...?? You obviously are not tracking this blog. Links were copied straight from the internet as proof the ADS turned over HIS 12 YOld team team to coach Pretty and then hired her over very qualified candidates. This has been discussed for three pages and names have now been posted. (and these are only the names we know of, could have been more) 3 Vogues buddies in a row is not rumors

EXACTLY what is being discussed on this blog. !!! The reason being everyone turns their head cause AD has so many winning programs so as some one stated before, the GBB at LB is the 'sacrificial lamb' with a rubber stamp approval committee where the AD can install his inexperienced Vogues buddies ! EXACTLY. There is plenty of talent that live(d) in this district but 4 quit ( cant tell me some of these were not good!), 2 transferred to private, One could have been brought on board. There COULD be a winning tradition if nurtured by a respected, seasoned experienced coach. Another factor stated previously The athletes coming up that are playing select often quit for soccer cause LB basketball coaches never have taken any interest in nurturing a relationship. Other programs do this consistently. I remember the guys coaches from 2 other schools attending an 8th grade basketball game and coming to a practice of the AAU team my son was on. Not Lake Braddock. It is the same on the girls side. It is the little things that build a successful program.

HUH? Great to add another mention of the win but I see it having been discussed they won the first round last night I see someone wondering how they were doing while the game was being played and I also see a woodson parent mentioned the shot was a 2 and not a three and someone said a win is a win is a win right? And yes, ALL the players put in a lot of hard work all season and the coaches put in their time as well, and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China related to the fundamental issues being discussed on this blog?
VERY happy for the girls !! GoNatalie wih 30 points and a Post article as previously stated a few different times and so ??
If Venom = Frustration and truth then Venom it is.
I also see a lot of posts took place yesterday during game time so unless parents are skipping games to post on FU then you might be wrong. there are also alumni, neighborhood people, fans, former players, parents of former players. LaDiDah is the SAME person coming on here trying to make it sound like it is just a sewing circle of classless bitter parents which is obviously not the case. And you have no clue whether calls have been made and what is in the works.

Yes, if you call giving two freshman with no experience at all time to improve and start and building them up so there is great angst on this team and these kids get better cause they get court time and benching kids who have played all their lives no attention and zero chances then the coach deserves a an Olympic Medal. (Before you go there IN THE KNOW, these kids do not “SUCK” )
No I am not a whiny parent. But I am a fan and follow this game. And yes I do know kids on this team. Yes I am friends with some of the parents. Despite the lines given to kids about “playing time is earned in practice, work hard, etc. being fed to these kids day in and day out, it all comes down to who you know and what you will tolerate.” Question her and your kid pays the price. Win or lose it is losing season for many of the kids who have worked hard and been given nothing. How about some kudos for them once in awhile for showing the class to hang in there day in and day out and practice hard. They are the true heroes on this team. Those kids and Natalie who has led with grace, dignity and style fitting of a true champion.

Dearest profiles in courage. I am sure you would like this all to go away so you minimize it and put people down and isnt that the pot calling the kettle black, You live on here with 30 different monikers disputing every possible claim even when proof is provided and NUMEROUS people from all walks concur with the FACTS. You are trying to quash the uprising but it is too late. I called the school board member previously provided. I called on her work number and her personal number and I provided my contact information. I provided my name. If you read the profile resume of the district 6 Lake braddock school board member you will see she helped formulate zero tolerance so I do not think The ADs charm and minimilization of the events will win the day. I wuld not have wasted my time if I did not think it would make a difference. I contacted the Cluster group and I sent them the link through my personal eMail so it is not anonymous. I am NOT a parent of a child on that team (nor of any of the young ladies that quit this year) or you can bet my kid would pay the price cause I too know that is the truth at LB. You need to shut the hell up if you dont know what you are talking about. Or...maybe you DO know what I am talking about , you have a stake in this battle and I have a pretty good idea who you might be but I will not get down in your gutter and sling mud with you. One thng is for sure, you have a stake in this battle. I can not imagine anyone else who would have an issue with a group coming together with a common issue, blogging anonymously, and seeing the truth come to the forefront because at LB and in Fairfax county they never like the group to come together and compare notes and they castrate anyone who speaks up. Coming together has happened here and I know there is enough TRUTH here to warrant some investigation. I know others have contacted as well and more need to do so.
Speak up people ! I do not even have a reason to fight your battle except that I know it is wrong what is going on there in the inner school community. Do the right thing. I am a mother and I can feel your pain. Speak up for your child and those that follow. MANY facts have been included in these pages. If you have a child that has been through this abuse then speak up or forever hold your piece and you will regret it! I KNOW my son would be proud of my actions. If you see someone raped, shot or abused and do nothing you are just as guilty. Granted this is not quite this level(smile) but it is still wrong what is going on there.
ProfilesInCourage or LaDiDah, whatever you are calling yourself today-You have such a disdain for oppressed people blogging anonymously and you have such high character yet you respond continuously with the same tone trying to disband the sewing circle'. Speak up then Put you name to it profiles in courage. put up or shut up.

Why would anyone suggest that kids, parents, alumni, community leaders should do nothing if they see a wrong they want to make right?
This is not about or against a person. It is about a broken system. Win or lose- a broken system.

I am a parent.
Much of this is 100 percent true. Most I would say.
It is a regular soap opera all designed to protect a young coach placed in a position without experience but too angry to listen. The school will do anything to protect its coaches. She and they could care less what they do to young girls in the process. It is disqusting and wrong. Yes my daughter has not been treated fairly at all along with 4-5 more. It is the cold, hard truth. Everyone talks about it in the stands, etc. But everyone knows if you speak out then you get punished. And some of their kids are playing so it is everyone for themselves in our world. Nasty posters: what would you do and say if it was your child? Now that an investigation underway it is lies and cover-ups all over again.
I will stand up for what is right even if it means I stand alone

This school will not protect its coaches trust me. There is a spring sport coach who caught a lot of flack even while winning and trust me, the school did not protect this coach. The coach stood up to the admin and parents and doesn't take any crap. So, to all the parents who think this coach is so bad, let me ask you this, "What type of product did you bring to the coach to work with?" The varsity level is about building team cohesiveness and not about working on fundamentals; your kid should have learned that in AAU. So easy to blame the coach when in reality, it's your kid that sucks. Look at the records of all the teams that aren't successful. How many of those kids prepared to win? How many of your kids played AAU ball prior to the season? Teach your kids self accountability before blaming others; that's what is wrong with today's parents--so scared to take the kids' gloves off and tell them they suck when it's so much easier to blame the coach. If all the kids played 8 years of AAU then maybe it is the coach. But I totally doubt that. Just remember, a coach will have their turn to tell you that you suck as a parent so if you want to hide behind anonymous posts, then good luck.

WOW..this baby Einstein comes off the playground to add this kind of stinkin thinkin to to conversation, add this one to all the other transparent monikers you've used the past few days but this one is one of the most assanine comments so far. AD hiring coaches to clear out a program of its seniors and one of their best juniors and send two WCAC caliber players to a private school? yah that;s it. I have known the families of these girls that quit for many years. They never complained or lifted a finger when other parents approached the AD about Harris. You have no CLUE what you are ranting about Einstein.
So he picks THE most inexperienced applicant over at least 6 extremely talented applicants to get certain players to quit. Did you REALLY just suggest this? If that was his thinkin then you and he combined tip the scales at a IQ of 50. The 'drama of this board'.--- and yet you seem to live on it.
And Phoenix, have you been paying attention? You say this school will not protect its coaches. Yet the drinking and driving was minimized and swept under the rug by the AD and the principal is a rubber stamp. What am I missing here?Oh thats it. crazy logic I am Curious This spring sport coach, did the AD shuffle his feet and turn red when he spoke to her or him?

As stated earlier on page 4
##Now there were (more than) 5 qualified candidates YES! The parents that year got their resumes and one went into principals office with them!
1.Calvin Crenshaw- would have brought Dyamond with him, D-1 player, placed many D players, coaches at St Stevens St Agnes, won state titles, coaches showcase AAu team 16-u teams NO Limits, interacts with parents kids college coaches 20+ years
2. Rocky Carter- currently at the school coaching boys team with Metress and teaching phys ed // and has the character of a saint as you can see by his post earlier on this blog. coached AAU for BRYC community boys teams for MANy years and I think led the girls basketball program at Annandale for a while and coached at Lee High School. An already in house very qualified candidate
3.Dave Mcrae - Coaching through the ranks at Annandale-coaching at various levels and teams since 1998
4.Paula something who was a pupil of Crenshaw and had a basketball training business , played D-1 ball and played ball professionally in Europe. She was not even interviewed. appears that AD could then say he wanted to hire a girl who the girls could relate to and that is why he went with coach he hand picked. This 'wanted to try a female' is what principal told parent who brought him the other 4 resumes Umm brilliant reason, cause pretty coach has different hardware between the legs.
5. Jim Watson - BRYC commissioner- former player and coaching local teams in our community for many years
and
6. Parker Roach- Many many years same as Watson above also a private trainer for whomever asks! I know I saw him in the gym on his off days on saturdays working individually with boys team members FREE, currently asst coaching at PVI Catholic

WS probably has more players playing AAU than LB. But that doesn't matter because it's the coach's fault. Well, if you all truly believe it is the coach, then why not take your superstar kids to a private school? Question, since I do not know basketball, how many turnovers, missed free throws, missed shots, missed defensive assignments did the coach have?

So if everyone only knew the lies that have been told by the ad. Isnt that considered slander? When someone calls someone a name? Lawsuit perhaps?

And this is the answer to What was the final score?????? Can you quit your bitching long enough to share the final box score???? Never mind, I looked it up. 70-37 37 is less than what WS had at half time.

Would Lake Braddock have won the game if they had used the players that didn't start and were used off the bench? It's my understanding West Springfield is pretty darn good, so I doubt it would have mattered either way. Some people here are acting like Lake Braddock would be regional champs with another coach...fact is...they wouldn't be. It's Oakton or West Springfield this year (as it is most years) and I guess Madison or Mt Vernon might give them a scare.
Should the Robinson coach get fired? He lost to an average Chantilly team in their district tournament.

No your right LB would of still lost but i can promise you it would not have been that bad with a diffrent scenario. For the LB parents this is not about wins and losses. Have you not read the entire blog? The coach was pacing saying what do i do what do i do. Well duh you dont play people with little to no experience. My other question is how in the world did that number 20 get defensive player honors? Now thats crazy! Have you seen her play? I do not think anyone is saying fire her. You must be phoenix with a new name. So phoenix let me ask you are you so smart that you know everything? Why dont you just give up who you are since you seem so confident in yourself.

No BS going on with TJ. He is a phenominal coach and Robinson parents know he knows his stuff. It is about more than wins and losses. He genuinely cares about ALL his girls. Though he did have a great season beating everyone but Oakton (Fred Priester's team) and some high profile out of conference team. He does not shy away from choosing great competition for out of conference scrimmages,games and tournaments. That 2 pt loss 27-29 defensive battle against Centreville was indeed a shocker. Kudos to that Centreville coach and their girls.

The two times Robinson played Chantilly they beat them down. The two times Robinson played Centreville prior to the Concorde district championship they beat them pretty handily but the coach and girls adjusted and they won a well coached game and it was against Centreville not Chantilly, No one questions TJ Dade's character and coaching experience. No one would ever catch him drinking at a team event and driving home afterwards either.
Would LB have won if they used the current set of players in any combination ? Hell no but MAYBE if they had hired an experienced coach and developed the talent 2 years ago of those seniors and junior that quit, the 2 PVI girls that left and brought in Diamond Crenshaw with the best of what LB currently has. Pay attention.

So true to the last blogger. Maybe just maybe if that coach didnt play two fresh it could have been better. Its obvious she is not ready for this level. From what i was told she kept saying what do i do what do i do. Does that sound like a coach that has experience? NO NO NO

Look, I have no dog in this fight so I'll say this. If the parents brought a great product for the coach to work with, and she failed, she needs to go. If the parents brought a mediocre product, then the parents need to have some accountability. Unless you have been to her practices, then you don't know what she is coaching them on. Point is, there is accountability all around. Stop bitching anonymously, go to her first, be an adult. If you don't get the resolution you seek, then request a meeting with her and the AD.

Allow me to sum up the blog in relation to this observation.
1. This coach denied numerous requests to meet with the parent of the previous starting center the summer she was hired. She offered ONE meeting time when she knew that player was at an NCAA event and that parent offered to meet her breakfast, lunch or numerous evening offers. I would look to leave as well if a young inexperienced coach shows that much level of interest in her new team that she can barely find 10 minutes in her life. How will she possibly find time to network with college coaches or nurture the upcoming athletes in the area in youth leagues to stop them from choosing soccer vs basketball. Not impressed to essentially tell that parent kiss my behind because AD told the coach that parent had gone into principals office with all the resumes of the qualified applicants and wanted an explanation. She had no coaching pedigree to warrant being offended by this! SO, coaches fault and not impressed..maturity level just not there.
2. Along those same lines, losing the second player, Kendall to PVI as well. For goodness sakes her sister plays on the team so how hard could it have been to reach out to the parents and player (years of ballin experience and with the Vogues) and make that EFFORT to show you care and you WANT her !! Not a phone call not one attempt Not impressed. Ego should play no part in the head of a programs thought process.
3. Jenni Castillo, Kara Weidinger, Hanna Aboulhosen, Gaby Erestain, all quit when they were shut up in the coach's office after trying to bring her some concerns and talk. basically told them this was her program and it was her way or the highway so they were forced to choose the highway. Not impressed
4. Players on the bench were explosive on JV at Lake Braddock and at the AAU level and had promise till this coach brought others up over them who themselves admitted they were shocked and felt unprepared. No question THEY knew since they never played outside of church if at all. Not impressed.
5. This impressive list posted of the extremely experienced candidates just boggles my mind. That alone speaks to the insanity of this who thing , to bring in someone to run the varsity program at a school this size with over 4000 students. One of these candidates would have brought his 6'2 highly recruited daughter as well.
So I would have to say the parents brought it, the community had it, the actions of the AD and the coach disbanded the possibilities and chased away the talent.
Could-a been a whole different outcome. Should-a hired someone seasoned, proven and capable to run a varsity program at a school this size. Hiring someone because they are a girl is just insane and insulting. Would-a likely been a different outcome.(surely more than 37 points and this blog would not have existed) But when an AD has free will and free reign with rubber stamp principal and non responsive school board. Well, such is life. It teaches the girls just one thing. Life is not fair sometimes. Not Leigh's fault AD gave her his team and then told her to apply and then he hired her. Her character is what is at issue in this blog as well as her coaching experience. This is indesputable. Ergo, the system failed and IT needs to go

Well I am a parent and I am proud of my child.
Yea she was benched in favor of church leaguers and kids with no fundamentals after working all her life. She and four to five others who gave years to the program last year and this and were tossed away like garbage.
If nothing is done so be it.
At least she behaved with class, professionalism, and spirit to the very end.
A lesson her coach and the AD can take away from this circus. I earned a new respect for what an amazing young woman she is. She has learned that the system fails kids. And who you can count on. Hard lessons but good ones.
Unless you have lived this you cannot understand. Stand tall LB girls. You earned our love and respect.

Good luck to the girls in Regionals. Maybe once the season is done the horse can be put out to pasture and the parents can work on cleaning up the manure that they feel was left on the court. Then again, given the tenor of this thread, maybe they'll just urinate on it so that it raises a bigger stink.

Things That Are Not True

I'd say Product lineSummation makes a pretty strong case that there has been an epic failure on multiple levels by the AD, the school's administration. Academic institutions often are like little bubbles that many -- though not all -- who operate inside them become so insular in their thinking and perspectives that they completely lose any sense of reality. They protect each other and unless there is a crime committed or law broken, there is rarely any accountability. Bad teachers and bad coaches just seem to get shuffled around from school to school where their problems just seem to resurect themselves time and time again.
For the sake of these young women on the LB basketball team, it is clear a major change is needed. They among all else have been failed by this coach and the AD who not only hired her, but has permitted her lack of character and judgment to continue way too long. She is over her skiis at this level and needs to go to a smaller school or a JV team to learn how to coach and teach without acting so borishly like Bobby Knight. That is not to say you can't yell at a player once in a while -- all coaches do. It is what you say and how you say it that can either motivate or denigrate a player. The latter is easy to do...the former takes thought and patience and LB's coach is lacking in both.

She’s obsessed. Honestly, you are looking at someone who has mental health issues. It’s incredibly sad. It’s also remarkably similar to the Lamb Center Thread. One person, changing names, saying the same thing, agreeing with themselves, talking to themselves, obsessing and thinking about what to write all the time…

I think Kahunas are Hawaiian priests! That would be painful if you grew a pair of those! Do you mean "cojones" or balls?
I'm guessing "your" the tool that posted a bunch of ex-players full names on this forum and the one who made fun of a kid while identifying her number. Do you have any common sense? You need to grow up and turn off the computer, internet tough housewife!

Why did all of you say it was Centreville that beat Robinson.
It was clearly Chantilly.
Or the Washington Post is wrong...
Girls’ final, 6 p.m.
No. 4 Oakton Cougars (23-0, 10-0): Roster, statistics
Chantilly Chargers (14-10, 4-6): Roster, statistics
And to the person who said I must be using a different name. Wrong. I've coached AAU, I've coached in FFX County. I have no loyalties in this at all. I remember the LB coach from when she played, but haven't seen her coach.
My point was...without talent...she isn't going to win. And if she wasn't going to beat WS with the bench players...then is the complaint about the wins/losses or about something deeper (and yes, I've read the entire thread. I wont get into the alcohol thing because I didn't witness it).
And if it's SOOOOO horrible. Have your kids leave the team. If they aren't going to play in college, who cares if they are playing house league or high school if they are miserable?
But I wouldn't know....even with a state title....

At least not for some people.
It is about character and what is right.
Sure unhappy kids can leave but is that the lesson you want them to learn.?
Accept what you think is wrong and move on.
You did not win a state title teaching kids to run away.
I would like to know what you do think about coaches and drinking though since you brought it up.

I was not at the function where the drinking is said to take place. I can not comment on it since I didn't witness it and am unable to judge whether or not it was out of bounds. I coached AAU for many years and had parents drink beers/wine over dinner when we would be out of town for tournaments. I never did, mainly because I'm not a big drinker, but I don't think it would have been inappropriate to do so since the parents were as well. This case may have been different, but I will refrain from judging, again, since I wasn't there.
No, I didn't win a state title by teaching kids to run away. But I also didn't win a state title by catering to the complaints of parents either. We had our "bench players" who were juniors and even seniors one year, playing behind Fr/soph. It happens. If I had heard one complaint about playing time, those kids probably wouldn't have made it through to the end of the season. As someone else pointed out, if you think your kid got shafted, show up to a few days of practice and see what the real story is. It's real easy for a back up to look good against other teams back up players and think they should be starting. Good to practice, watch how those are run. Then formulate a complain if you still think there is on. No good coach is going to play their "favorites" over a more talented kid. That's career suicide.
My only objection is to the pettiness of calling the coach "pretty coach". What do her looks have to do with anything? That's when I tune out the argument. When people start dwelling on things that have ZERO to do with her ability, they've lost me. From what I recall, she was a talented player and was a smart player as well. That doesn't mean it will translate into wins as a coach, but I would be surprised if she was saying "what do I do" in the manner of her being clueless. I've comment to my assistants before on sidelines saying "Not much I can about this" when a team is more talented or "What more can I do" when you've taught them everything but they STILL don't get it done. Coaches get frustrated like everyone else when their best laid plans don't work. I'm not saying she didn't say to her assistants "what do I do" or ask them for advice, I just wonder the context of it.
Having been on the sideline more than once against Billy Gibson over at WS with a couple of different teams, I'm sure I've said "what do I do" when playing him. Sometime the answer is simply, "nothing". He's a great coach and usually has great talent. Hats off to him.

Dearest 'More Complete' who has NO life
Excellent suggestion MoreMoreComplete. The community could use more volunteers. Maybe they could even teach English as a second language to someone.
I returned from a Friday night out late last night and read this to see if there were any responses about the talented coaching pool possibilities that were turned down in lieu of current Coach. Of course there were not, just more nit picking by the same immature poster. I don't see a real issue wth calling her Coach Pretty 'dummies' because a thinking man can only assume that since she was hired, as stated by the principal and the AD, because she was a 'girl' , that they were not thinking with the head on their shoulders! She had zero qualifications to take over a varsity program in Fairfax county. She played ball once in Fairfax county ( does not transfer to being a coach), played D-3 ball ( does not a coach make either) where she was somewhat underwhelming and coached a 12 YO regional local team ( no experience for taking over the lead position at a huge school in FFX cty) the AD gave her. And sat on the bench as an assistant at Madison where the parents of a couple of the girls could not even be sure who she was when asked. To those girls parents she was just Katie's friend. On a qualifications scale that registers a two IMHO. I think I can understand the frustrated parents referencing her that way when you see the qualified candidates. It is the travesty of the unchecked power that causes the frustration. Also not sure how a winning coach can defend placing players on varsity who could not even run a three on three drill initially and still cant dribble. But that is not the issue that irks me. I have no child affected but feel their pain. Hiring system practices that allow this is the root issue.
Anyway 'more complete' Did you spend your Friday night on Fairfax Underground again? I have absolutely NO clue what this thing is called. A "Forum" or a "blog" but I have seen these things called a 'Blog' so I called it a Blog when I posted my candidates breakdown. Are you saying I am this same person posting all over as well?? I relisted and expounded on the candidates as posted earlier in this thread because someone requested it. As previously stated , a parent that hiring year rounded up the resumes from many of the candidates. I called it a Blog, do you know why? Because I do not live on this thing like you appear to. I would not know what to call this beast that seems to have a life of its own, nor do I really care.
This human being read through this entire monstrosity again just to find where someone posted the word 'BLOG'. Really? How truly pathetic I am prone to think many of us who have made the occasional contribution or observation here do not make a habit of visiting these 'forums' and have lives so we just don’t know what they are called ! And you state "this persons posts are remarkably similar to "The Lamb Center Thread"." WTF, I had to google it. Do you make a life out of reading and posting on different Fairfax Underground blogs, threads, forums?
In addition to volunteer opportunities as suggested above, there are meet-up activity groups galore in the DMV area. Find something to do to enrich the world or at least your own sorry life.

Dummies, You are right about name calling. I have not done that and I won't. I do not agree on coaches drinking though since it is hs and kids get suspended. FCPS needs to clarify rules.
You surely were not serious that you would throw a kid off if they asked how to earn playing time or if their parent did? Please tell me I misunderstood.
Finally this is more than a person or two. You of course don't know entire story.
As is always case, things will go on as usual. Kids will learn that the system fails them. AAU coaches who do know the story have stated it is wrong. She, like all of us, has made lots of mistakes this year and hurt lots of kids. I hope that she learns from them and continues to develop herself.

I thought the TEAM was Centreville but apparently it was the venue. My bad.

No, I said if I heard a COMPLAINT about playing time. If a parent/player came to me and said "what can little Sara do to improve her game and have a better chance at playing" I would tell Sara and parent(s) exactly why Sara wasn't getting the playing time she thought she deserved. And then I would invite parent(s) to come watch practice at some point and see if they agreed with me or not on Sara's shortcoming(s). Discussion is one thing...but if a parent ever walked into to talk to me and the people I coach with and said "My daughter should be playing more...." and making demands. That isn't going to end well for the player most of the time. I'll listen, I'll take notes and if I suggest they come to a practice or two and then never take me up on the offer...and I continue to hear complaints...I'm not dealing with that. Coaches at the HS level make next to nothing in money when you add up all the hours...so there is no way I'm going to let some parent try to run my team for me and dictate playing time.
Again, I do not know the situation at LB. I don't know the coach personally. I'm speaking on a broader topic of parents thinking they have the right to demand playing time for their kids. I'd guess 4 out of 5 times (and probably more) the parents have never once showed up to an actual practice. If they do, I certainly have more respect for them to be able to show up, look at things and then make a decision. It usually goes 1 of 3 ways in my experience after they show up to a practice. 1--you never hear about playing time issues again. 2--the player suddenly starts working out before and after practice to get better or 3--the parents are still convinced their kid is better than all the other kids and pulls them off the team and transfers schools. I've seen #3 happen one time in my career...and the kid didn't play at her new school either.

That is very helpful. You will note in several places on this blog that this coach woukd not talk with players both last year and this when they did not understand. Of course you are 100 percent correct that demanding something never a good idea. The problem on this team has been the preference given to frosh who do not have fundamentals down and no prior experience with basketball. This has been noted by coach after coach in the stands. Of course class status is not relevant but knowledge of the game and grasp of fundamentals should be.
Never a great sign when none of seniors return nor does a junior AAU player who has dedicated her life to the sport. The AD would not release players to transfer. Perhaps some of the more experienched coaches can mentor this person.
Most of LB practices are closed anyway.

It is too bad that from the sounds of this blog, forum or whatever, the girls robbed of so much joy. HS sports should bring joy and smiles nit tears and heartbreak.
Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you us the little girl who fell n love with the game and never looked back......play for her

Classy coach
You know you have lost the game and you single out a few kids and give them less than a minute in the last game when they practiced hard all year too.
It all comes down to lack of character. lack of concern for your players. Lack of so much.
Parents I dont blame you.

And those rumors ALL come from the mouth of the Athletic director who is a mastermind staying up nights to spin his stories he will sell. Rumor has it he told HIS higher up that all the girls were hugging and kissing their coach in the locker room after the last game and it was so heart-warming. A COMPLETE crock according to the girls. You have to get up real early in the morning to beat that man to the bullshit finish line.
So since the parents all intimidated into silence, the system will never change. The school board says parents need to come to THEM as they do not reach out for independant calls. How tough would it really be to simply pick up the phone and call the parents of the girls whose hand was forced to quit or the kids that left. How tough? 10 minutes would solve it. They just don't care and would rather listen to the AD BS than find the truth.

All: It's not what I saw, it's what I didn't see and I'll leave it at that. Bottom line, this program needs a coach that respects the program and the kids. This program needs new blood. The AD will always protect the coach in any sport so you have to understand that. Very tough situation. Very apparent that current coach does not know how to be a coach. Seems like the program has degraded by what I have read and that's a part of coaching. And yes, the AD is cocky and I have no idea why. Read earlier posts and seek the assistance of a coach at another sport that very well could help you present your case to higher ups. Season is over, boost the kids' confidence any way you can.

I think Phoenix means get an experienced coach to talk to the AD.
AD does not listen, but it is good thought.
Almost the whole team quit last year and no one cared. It is so much easier to look the other way and take no action. After all it is about the coach and NOT the kids.
People in authority are aware of this terrible situation. But people with direct experience in this program must speak up now.

If you could speak to the kids you would be sickened. The kids have had enough, parents etc... But if you have concerns LB wont listen they have not in years believe me i know. I think it would be in the best intrest of all involved if the AD retired and the coach resigns. But they wont!

Should be fun to hear how her Vogues AAU team does this Spring.
Start another topic on that one, see if gets to 7 pages.

And how pathetic that the coach actual subs players with less than a minute to go when the game was long-since lost? Why not play as many of your players as you can for reasonable amounts of time to give them as much game experience for next year as possible? It is so obvious this coach is in way over her head on so many levels. It's an embarrassment for the school and provides no positive instructive learning for her players.

Lol. You had to google it? I bet you did! Too much trouble to look on the front page of the forum? Perhaps you never look at the forum but rather spend all your time in this thread posting over and over about the same thing with multiple anonymous monikers. Sounds like fun.

It’s blatantly obvious to even the most casual observer that all these “people” making the same point repeatedly are but one “person” using different accounts, and using the same tell tale grammar and slang.

That’s great that you think watching it’s academic is an example of how “enriched” your life is. The problem is, you’re a coward. But don’t let me ruin the fun, enjoy talking to yourself. I’m sure if you and another like minded idiot post enough times using enough different names you’ll get the coach fired. On the other hand, probably not.

Enough Is Enough
()

Seriously, enough is enough. How many more examples does the administration and/or AD need to understand that this set-up is not good for the girls.
Possible drinking at a team -mandated function (discipline or not there should have been an apology); Flying water bottles and technicals during the games; Suggested blatant disrespect for some of the team’s players; Bad language during games and practices; Playing kids with NO experience over kids with many years of experience - players who are CLEARLY no better; Lack of willingness to meet with players and parents and listen.
Finally almost the WHOLE team quit last year and the AD did not research this. I am a friend of this team and there is MUCH more. All of the above apparently happened. I applaud any parent or child from this team willing to stand up for what is right. I do not have a stake on this and I have made my call. I am a parent and I hope others would do same for me.

Parents, observers, players you have to help or LB will continue to make you out to be the bad guys. I promise they already are. Call now and make a change. If you dont nobody will and you will be stuck with the same issues year after year. This is not about playing time its about the character of the coach and AD. There are cover ups at LB. I promise you that!

Its very apparent at least to me that this is numerous parents etc... On here not just one. Thier may be one who changes their name but you are very stupid. In order to use the same name you have to register. If you try to type in same name it says its taken. Oh the ignorance of some people. If you dont like it go away. I can bet money you are a happy parent on the team. Actually probably one of the few.

I am a parent of an EX player. I called and had a nice long chat with Steve Kerr at 571-423-3154. I provided my name and phone number if they need my inout anytime, anywhere. I have no 'dog in this fight', as they say but I know the issues at Lake Braddock are long standing and the Fairfax investigators can do nothing but investigate abuse allegations. If you feel your daughters have been verbally or mentally abused then you may all speak up and make that case. They can also investigate the drinking allegations if somethere speaks up. I shared my experiences and he will make a call to the principal and the AD so at LEAST with the little I shared , these two know they no longer have free reign with no oversight on his GBB hiring decisions. He is simply going to let them know that people in the community are concerned about the goings on. The Vogues inexperienced coaches gravy train will end.
on a different note- Wow that More Complete person has ISSUES !!!!!!!!!!!Certainly knows their way around FU !! Nuts-OOooooo

No, of course not.
More Complete has a position on this issue which runs counter to yours. You flamed More Complete and More Complete skewered you. Get over it. Big deal...you lost an internet argument...I'm sure you've had greater tragedies in your life.

Hey More Complete...here is my second posting since you seem to want to keep count.
Since you really can’t defend the coaches behavior the alternative is to attack the parents? It is all the parents fault – all the examples on here – get over yourself. The AD is a coward for not stepping in and removing this coach who is incapable of leading young women. Pat Summit she is not -- and never will be with her dictatorial coaching style. Kids today are not lemmings...they know when they are getting screwed by coaches whose egos are much larger than their brains and common sense. You can yell at kids constructively to motivate them or you can tear them down to make them feel small.
There is a time to develop younger, less experienced talent, but it has to be in small doses and in specific situations. That has not been the case with the LB varsity girls team and the performance of some of the less experienced players speaks volumes.

Hey More Complete, third posting in case you are still counting (that means there should be seven more fingers for you to use).
Since you obviously don't have a child on the team OR know any of the families who have players on the team, your insights are about as worthless as a politician's campaign promise...and there isn't anything more worthless than that!
There is no excuse for the on-court behavior of this coach, let alone what goes on in practice or the lockerroom. She should be fired as should the AD for letting it happen. It's one thing to make a bad hire which the AD did. To allow that bad hire to continually demonstrate her lack of leadership ability, coaching skills and overall character is irresponsible.

I’m not trying to “cause” anything. Just playing captain obvious.
It's been fun. Good luck getting the coach fired!

This is the number that you need to call. If you want to do more than just complain then pick up the phone. A number of people called today already. Let's teach the kids that you can try to right the wrongs in this world. All it takes is the courage to speak out.
One honest voice can be louder than a choir of untruths.
Character Counts.

Parents should be supportive of the team, but they should not intervene on behalf of their kids with the coach unless there is a legitimate health or safety issue. Kids need to navigate the athletic world on their own. Heck, in today's politically correct,antiseptic rule based school environment, managing to athletic excellence is one of the few acceptable ways to avoid being a suburban candy-ass.
Having said this, exceptional behavior can justify deviating from this principle. I am not sure the facts are sufficiently exceptional here. But they could be. And if I were the AD I would really want to know, and not "know" in a shallow bureaucratic way. Simply, I would really want to know if I have an insecure leader at the helm. If I came to that conclusion, well, things would not continue. The plain truth is that in a large suburban high school with well off parents being head coach of a sport like basketball is going to be a demanding job, with lots of expectations. This phenomenon occurs in every well heeled surburban school in the country. It takes maturity and leadership, and those doesn't necessarily correlate with age, although experience clearly is a factor.
I know many good coaches in Fairfax County. There is almost universal postive agreement among the parents whose charges play for them. I am not sure this is surprising. They are consistent, good at what they do, and while not perfect, make it clear by their actions that they are doing right by the team. And yes, they know how to deal with difficult parents.
One quirky thing strikes me as bothersome here. In the context of the complaints and the descriptions of the situation, the Division III college basketball experience sends off the wrong signals. I could be wrong here - and this is not to say that a former Division III player can't be an excellent coach - indeed - with the right set of leadership skills and a solid and healthy dose of humility such a coach could be very effective. But my own anecdotal experience in highly competitive Division 1 athletics makes me lean in the wrong direction here. I can typecast many a Division III athlete I knew who wanted to make a career in sports - they were often balanced alright - meaning they had a chip on both shoulders in trying to prove they were as "good" as their Division 1 counterparts. And the need to "prove" even extended to academics. This always seemed odd to me because Division III was what it was - a decent level of college athletics but certainly not at the quasi-professional level of Division 1. In any event, this certainly is not an out of bounds question for a competent AD to ask of a coach when doing a management review. Give me a not-insecure and dedicated coach with good judgment around kids, and the rest will take care of itself.

Be careful makes a good point.
The best coaches have earned the trust and respect of players and parents.
The respect is not here because the players know that it is not about and for them.
It is all about ego. Kids can sense sincerity and realize there is none here

I am a lifelong friend of one of the players families. This is my first post here. I think the point about letting kids navigate is a good one as long as coaches are being supportive, fair and honest. However, I think intervention is required when kids are being treated with no respect and are pawns in some kind of possible ego trip of insecure coaches. I know this has gone on in regards to several girls.
The particular kid I am referencing has worked hard all her life. She stayed after time after time and all she wanted was an opportunity which never came. These parents prayed for direction and resolution. They tried but met with rudeness and arrogance. The young lady did not walk away but behaved with dignity and grace.
I still think the girls deserve a coach who puts the interests of the team and her players above all else. They realize they are providing a service and not commanding troops.
I pray for them each day too. This has been a heart breaking experience.

First, the girls coach has to go because she chases off talent, can't win, and is a poor role model for girls.
Now, the baseball program is under fire for developing talent, winning multiple district and regional titles and helping numerous kids make it to D1 colleges.
Finally, the soccer program is under fire for making the state semi-final last year.
Horrible programs? Bad coaches? Is there a common theme here?
Yes. Nosy, insecure, helicopter parents who can't always get what they want!

You want a real disaster for a program at LB, try baseball. The coach there is so good that he can figure out when kids are in 8th grade whether or not they are going to be star players. And, if one of his chosen stars is causing problems, he runs to the player's house to console with the parents while telling other kids they are going to sit the bench. It is the most ridiculous and pathetic situation I have seen in high school sports.

Chances are LB should have hired an experienced person from among 100 resumes who Knows better than some of what is here.
Maybe whole sports program needs evaluating.

When NONE of the seniors would return along with a talented AAU junior to this year's team, the AD should have asked questions or at least Interviewed those kids and parents. He did not BECAUSE he knew what they woukd say. Ditto for this year. Looking the other way and talking about making regionals in a very very weak district don't change what happened behind the scenes with these kids. You can spin all day and the truth will remain.

By the same person "over and over". Take your own advice, no one wants to hear it. Let this thread die the slow painful death it deserves.
There is something you should know about the interwebs: Repeatedly posting anonymously while saying the same thing not only makes you look ignorant, but pathetic as well. We get it, you don’t like the coach. Now please, go away.

I mean, isn't that what really happened? A few players made demands, the coaches told them to shove it and then the parents tried to protect their precious snowflakes?
No?

Answer: Zero
However, I can guarantee that there are one or two parents who will repeatedly complain anonymously on the internet. Because, you know, that’s the best thing to do in these situations.

Who are "you"? Oh that's right, you aren’t registered and change your name with every post! This is simply more evidence that you're the same person posting over and over again, essentially talking to yourself (and I’m the one who needs mental help? Ha!).

this FU site came up from my history after 3 hours of online help fixing my computer and preparing for my am conference// so I signed in to check if this thread died after the season ended..O M f-en G !! R U kidding me?? This thing is STILL going??? wow lolol and look at that pathetic More Complete dude STILL doing endless research posting a foot of "proof"??? trying to say this entire thread was 2 whiny parents.
Hey Die thank goodness you did not let this die cause what would More complete DO with his life? oh thats right. He will keep up the endless moaning and banter about everyone being one person just because we dont live on Fairfax underground full time and dont use it enough to "register" and live on here like he apparently does. We dont know where to count posts, register and compare nor do we care if it is a blog , a thread or what ever! I heard about this at a game I attended when I came back to visit friends in the Fairfax area. Oh great witty wonder, will you skewer me now? or ask your wife to respond for you??
hey die---THAT ought to get his ass wound up and good for another 2 feet of research and keep this BLOG (LOL) going. I'll bet my D-1 basketball playing daughter's scholarship on it!

There is a solid reason this won't die.
It is a symbol of sports in FFX county.
Nepotism.
Coaches who think they are Pat Summit and care more about themselves than kids.
Schools who look the other way when rules are broken and action does not suit their agendas.
Frustrated parents who cannot get action. (not all are whiny)
Long live the thread.

Be proud your child has the proper grammar and punctuation but has a bad attitude because she thinks she is the best when that could not be any further from the truth. Do you even know anything about the sport? Oh by the way you should probably stop giving the school all your money just so your inexperienced kid can play. Now who is transparent.

Sure thing. The administrators should listen, if people have indeed approached them. I imagine if enough do they will. This is why I question the validity of the complaints, if enough people thought it was an issue, it would be addressed.
As someone else pointed out earlier, it's just a game/sport. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing to get too upset about.

If the principal and athletic director can't find the courage to dismiss the coach, then maybe the players who rightfully should have been playing this year will have to resort to a "Masada" revolt by not playing for LB next season. Let the coach have her players that run (and forget to dribble) with the ball next season. Sometimes it is better to steal defeat from your enemies than it is to fight them in a losing cause. Eventually, this coach will be dismissed just like so many at the college level who fail to realize that her type of behavior and lack of class will not motivate players. She'll either change or be relegated to extinction.

I will take that bet on Butler ! (By the way, Fairfax Stars lost ALL their games in the NCAA sponsored viewing period this April so Aggie not as great as you think at getting players to play as a TEAM, all that talent and no wins) Butler can't go play for a WCAC school as a senior, She tried as a junior and would have had to play J>V. for the year. She would have been able to play this coming year but too late now// But, she will have a scholarship after this summers July viewing period and will get her press and Wash Post press dominating at lowly Lake Braddock where the coach will still not develop her talent and she will play against ALL that public school 'talent'. With her dad and college she will finally get the true basketball smarts development. I think that is a safer bet and I think that ' fairfax star' poster is being facetious. I mean come-onnnnnnn you really asked for her number and are going to call her? If your daughter has the talent she would have contacted YOU !! LOL "and will singlehandedly get all of your daughters D1 scholarships."..definitely a JOKEduh

At some point everyone needs to place blame where blame belongs. It's not the coaches fault it is the AD for hiring her with no experience. She hopefully will eventually be better at coaching and begin to mature as she learns. But the cold hard truth is the AD should have been fired years ago.

Aggie throws full blown fits. She once curled up on the bleacher in the fetal position. She's an embarrassment. She's also a cheat. She was busted 2 years in a row trying to use ineligible players in AAU tournaments. She faxed fraudulent documents from her own house and acted like she knew nothing about it. That's why for 2 years the 15 year old team couldn't participate in AAU events. She's the worst type of a coach.

Read the entire blog.
Almost all of this is true. The tantrums, coaches drinking in front of players. favoritism.
If you have any options at all DO NOT go to LB.
There are many stories out there. It is awful.
It is as bad as you have heard and worse

Enough already.
The lady is not anything close to which you described. I have met her, spoken with her a number of times, etc. She is trying her best and is getting better with each passing day.
When we played them in the district tournament I saw the boys coach talking with her, the boys assistant coach give her a hug, etc. If she was that bad, why would they even bother? Wouldn't they avoid her like she had the plague? Why not allow her to fall on her face if she is that bad. You know why they don't avoid her? Becuase she is not a bad person or a bad coach.
In my opinion, you ought to be extremely ashamed of yourselves; all of you, or according to many, YOU, singular, should be incredibly embarassed.
Jesus this is way too much.
You guys are all NUTZ!
Oooops.

i can't believe you guys are upset about high school girl's basketball...really...it isn't a sport, they aren't athletes, and the coaches might as well be monkeys with a clipboard because that's the amount of intelligence needed to coach girl's basketball. you are all disgraces.

Dearest Comeon, you obviously have not read this thread at all as to all the specific flawed character examples and the lack of experience. This is more about the AD hiring her over all the experienced candidates anyway . She is a doll baby to the guys I am sure, she is not coaching the coaches, she is coaching the young ladies she curses at. But as for the Lake Braddock mens basketball coaches, they are loving her because ...drum roll please...they will never have to worry about hanging their heads in shame and having the Boys basketball program shown up by the Girls basketball program like they do over at West Springfield. HA That right there is worth loving her over !

....still waiting to hear what the demands will be for those student athletes trying out for the LB team coming up in in the '12-13 season.
And I don't mean the demands FROM the coach...I mean the demands from the PLAYERS.
Just like this past fall...how come no one talks about the players thinking they were running the program by issuing demands to the coaching staff? That's the main problem to me. Players thinking they are bigger than the program.
You want to make demands of your coach before the season starts...better find another place to play.

AD shines in Baseball

Date: May 24, 2012 12:54PM
So Nobody will do squat! AD will make up stuff like he always does like telling school board ( a discussion with this school board member uncovered this)how he walked in after their first round win and saw all the girls hugging the coach which the girls swear was never happening. Half the team quit cause they loved her? I spoke to this board member you all posted a few pages back. He just is a pathological liar and then gets irate if someone dare question his "integrity". Defamation of character? NO.One would need character in order to defame it. It is palpable and real. He will lie and schmooze his way out of any questioning and say it is 2 crazy parents when everyone in the program who ever lived it knows the TRUTH. In this instance the truth shall NOT set you free. Other teams at Lake Braddock do well, again Baseball guys are district Champions. he can have his Lake Braddock girls basketball toy program to put in whoever he dang well pleases and the principal and approval board will rubber stamp whatever he does. he went through the motions of interviewing those very qualified candidates but it was a predetermined outcome. Lets not rehash the obvious, this program has always been his Vogues driven toy and the powers that be allow it. You know how with investments we have our mainstays, the ones that count and bring in the bucks, the mutual funds. then we have our individual stocks, our toys. that is what girls basketball program is to Martino.

AD shines is spot on. There are rumors that some of the parents are so fed up they have talked to politicians. AD is a mastermind at spinning the truth. Fact is almost every parent thinks the current program SUCKS and that the staff have NO business coaching at this level. But some have too much at stake to try and reason with unreasonable people. Couple of brave parents stood up against shameful behavior of coaches drinking in front of players, throwing tantrums and acting like it is their program. What goes around comes around. I for one cannot wait for day of reckoning. It is now the AD, principals and county athletic offices fault. They know reality and don't wanna deal. Easier to blame parents. When Nat is gone the team will get smashed in every game.

Don't know the coach, don't play in the LB district so don't think I will ever meet her. I have 2 daughters both of whom have D1 basketball scholarships. One who has already signed and the other debating on a few offers. Not bragging just giving some background. The colleges recruiting them never came to a high school game or spoke to the high school coach. Everything was done through the AAU coach. My kids practice and train 5 days a week year round. If your kid wants to play at the next level they have to put in the work. You can't everything on the coach. Especially the high school coach who gets them 3 months a year. As for the big girl LB sucked before she got there and they will suck when she leaves. The area has more female soccer players than any other sport combined.

Difficult Parents Get Kids Cut or Benched
()
Date: May 31, 2012 01:51PM
I know a lot of coaches who evaluate parents as closely as they evaluate prospective players. The reason is simple--a couple of difficult parents can ruin an entire team. So, if your child doesn't make the team or is not playing, you may want to look in the mirror. Difficult parents get kids cut or benched.
Unfair? Not really! See the above sentence.
By the way, I have no daughter playing at Lake Braddock. I'm just stating what is so obvious to those of us who are tired of this incredible attack. It is not healthy for you, your children, or anyone else close to you to continue this. It also is embarrassing to other Lake Braddock parents. You need to get beyond this or it will consume you and your family. The more you try to make the AD and coach look bad, the more unreasonable and obsessed you look to most people.

Most of the time those who history call crazy are genuises who change the world.
Not really about sports but about life. If early americans took the stance of do nothings we would be flying British flag.
Stand your ground in the small things so you have the skills and courage to do so when it really matters.
But I will give you this. Graphic is cool

The same stuff has gone at Woodson in at least two sports Truth is it is likely going on all across county. More complete. Try looking at big picture.

Create a culture of communication not fear. And finally make it a offense that leads to firing if evidence emerges of retaliation against even one child. None of this is hard. But we have an absence of leadership. I realize blaming parents allows leaders to do nothing. But it leads to blogs like this
maybe not and asshole, but most CERTAINLY a bit naive LoLz

First day reading this, but I love MORE COMPLETE. These parent(s) started a snowball rolling down a hill and if it stops growing at this point they will feel like total failures. I love it! The agenda has super ceded even their own children.. if they even have any!
I get a giggle out of people that throw out grandiose phrases like "over haul the coaching system".
Maybe parents need to overhaul how they run their children like puppets on a stick and take their high school age children's fights personal completely creating arrested development in many areas which push the kids into having to develop their independence with sex, drugs and alcohol pretty much in that order.
It's not going to change so to exonerate themselves these parents find CRUSADES to fight all those who stand in the way of their child's DREAMS.
If only you knew the joy we get watching this poor man's reality show from the sidelines. I used to have it repulse me and feel helpless with how entitled and stupid "tax payers" are. But now I just grab the popcorn!! :)

So glad your are here. By all means read the thread.
But let me summarize since you are late to party
Lots of people questioning the decision to hire an inexperienced coach;
Staff alledgedly drank alcohol at team function; (well it did happen but covered up by an AD everyone loves NOT;
Lots of profanity and throwing things ar games and practices;
Kids who never played much ran with ball - in varsity games - area coaches laughed;
Many saw, and not one or two, a failure to use the skills of all:
Some felt csrtain kids treated badly because of outspoken parents such as playing them for seconds at end of a lomg lost game for spite;
Lots of Barbie references;
Talks of investigations and numbers posted for all to see;
In summary a choatic mess caused by an arrogant AD

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.

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 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.

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?

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.

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.

Read the whole thread. Read about all things that have happened.
This is not about basketball. It is about chAractEr. And if you were not involved what you do not know is she refused to play a few of those girls who were part of that JV team that did so well. 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.
If you do not know then be silent. Please. you like so many FFX people think winning and losing are all that matter.
WRONG.

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….

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
More complete, I am guessing you are one of the good guys. And bet if youncould talk wity few parents over a beer you woukd thnk differently

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm here.
What's going on?
Are there girls still riding the bench and parents blaming the coach??
Is there still a coach who won’t play someone’s kid and an AD to be blamed for hiring said coach???
The horror! We need all the details we can get (preferably poorly written) on this outrageous scenario!

In this county it is about who you know and your connections. Many talented kids run out of sports cause they were too poor to afford training or were not stuck up the AD's - well you get the picture.
Don't be naive. It is just like politics of the election
I surely hope you don't believe your own rhetoric.
Sometimes the most talented do play. But at least half time it is political or at whims of crazy coach. Examine the many sports threads on this page alone.

It's called life. You win some you lose some. You can blame everyone else, or look in the mirror. The thrid option is to complain on the internet in hopes that others will tell you how right you are. What does that accomplish?
?

That you mention other threads is telling. Apparently you feel that your pathetic choice is justified. Everyone else does it! You sound like a child. Grow up.

Well these girls obviously learned a valuable lesson… Blame someone else, anyone but yourself. If that doesn’t work, quit.

More complete.
Everyone knows you think you are right.
This was not one girl.
It was at least six total. Not one but six.
For one minute can you not entertain the possibility that the problem was real?
If the impacted kids were not happy then why continue in a bad situation? It is obvious the AD would protect the coach. Where else can coaches do these kind of things.
You are such a hypocrite. I have followed this for a year. Perhaps the lesson is there are more important things in life than some silly mediocre high school team or some immature and not very nice coach? Life is too short to live it in an unhappy way. Good for these girls.
I believe in karma. It will win in the end.

Where are the parents of these six girls? What did they do about this injustice? What did they do about this terrible coach that should have been immediately fired?
This thread was started and perpetuated by ONE person who continually posted over and over with different names to make it APPEAR as if there was some great tragedy befalling the team.
There was not. This thread (blog) and its few actual contributors are fraudulent cowards who want people to feel sorry for them. I refuse to. Sorry if that bothers you. Karma indeed.

ooops entered by mistake.. continued..
So tonight I signed on to Fairfax Underground to see if there was any inside information about that loaded gun found in the locker at Robinson and I see that 'More Complete' guy from last summer and that Lake Braddock girls basketball thread was commenting on the Robinson thread...so I checked back on this one and OMG it is STILL going !!! More Complete is still his pompous all knowing self accusing 'helicopter parents' or correction... trying to say it is all just one parent. CLEARLY that is NOT the case here. And dare anyone point this out to him or he will degrade you and accuse you of being a parent yourself. I read this post back in June after this less than complete guy said he was through posting here months earlier and I see he is STILL the main one keeping this going.
Pathetic.. now 'get to going' on responding vehemently about what a waste of space I am for pointing out that you need to GET A freakin life !
Hey people, let the girls play, As for recent posts all I know from the AAU circuit and blogs is that Natalie was most definately not helped by Lake Braddock coach or AD. The Butlers did not even give her name as a contact. That was a Fairfax Stars connection.
Wins and losses can be tracked in the Post or on the Lake Braddock sports page. Stop feeding More Complete any postings for him to respond to and he might have to spend his evenings with Mrs Complete or heaven forbid do some volunteer work with all that spare time. This was suggested a few times before! He seems to have all the answers so why not put that fabulous education he uses correcting everyone's spelling and grammar and teach someone how to read or read to the homeless? Stop being so downright nasty and poisonous. Can't understand anyone wanting to share a beer with that guy . He is so judgemental of anyone that has a difference of opinion. No wonder Mrs. Complete is content to have him spend his time on all these Fairfax Underground threads ! SMH

OMG? Oh so much better? SMH? Freakin? You are obviously a child. Sorry your coach didn’t think you were good enough to start.
You know me because I'm registered. You, are not. Why don't you register so we can see how many times you post? I'll answer for you, because you're an anonymous coward. This is also the reason you spend time complaining on the internet about a coach instead of taking action.
Stop feeding me? What do you think you’re doing? Also, who are you talking to? It's just me and your numerous anonymous monikers in here.
To answer your question… Yes, it is funny. That you think this thread gives me “purpose” is hilarious. This thread is a joke. I happily keep it going for the entertainment value.
In addition, if you think the word “definitely” was your only grammatical error, you need to go back to class.
Have a nice day. :)

Aw shucks. Thanks. :) I'm sure there is more than one person upset.
It should be noted however, that before I stepped foot in this place, there were over 500 posts in a very short amount of time, with a very similar message, said in a very similar way.
I'm now willing to admit that there are at least two people in this thread upset with the girls basketball situation at LB. :)
I know nothing about the coach or the team other than what I’ve read here but I do know this… if someone is doing a bad job, they will eventually get fired. At least, that’s the way it should work.

No, Fischer left because he saw a dismal season coming and not much thereafter. Mark Martino, the AD, hires the coaches. In Fairfax County, you have to suck up to the AD or know somebody to get hired.

Scratch, (regarding Fischer) that is what one of the primary points of this thread has been. It has been brought up that one of the primary issues at that school is not only these "helicopter parents", numerous players quitting the sport they loved all their young lives or the screaming, demeaning, drinking "Barbie" coach but also the unchecked power of that AD who has appointed Vogues coach after Vogues coach. This time a totally unqualified pretty Vogues coach who coached his daughters. Yes, when Nat is gone time will tell. However, in the AD's instance at Lake Braddock, one is reminded of the Lord Acton quote: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." He will schmooze and lie his way out of everything to the higher authorities so nothing ever changes.

Dude, you're blowing the narrative;
1. The coach sucks.
2. She ran all the good players off.
3. Except for Butler, but . . .
4. The team still sucks, but . . .
5. OK, they don't suck NOW, but they will when Butler's gone, because . . .
6. The coach AND the AD suck . . .
Repeat forever. If you want to throw in, "Whaaaaa, my kid didn't get to play," feel free.

To follow up on "3. Except for Butler, but . . . "
Natalie is tall and you can't teach tall. She is going to Georgetown as she has been able to shine and shine bright on the Lake Braddock basketball team ,tough feat (cough). It would have been more telling to compare her to any of the WCAC bigs and play against the much tougher competition in that league! Natalie vs Amanda Fioravanti for instance , not even a comparison in regards to pure basketball IQ when someone of comparable size can post her up. It will be interesting to follow at the next level.

I stumbled upon this forum by mistake but couldn't help reading on after the first page. Having grown up in Fairfax County playing varsity basketball all four years at "one" of the better schools in the region, it is clear that all the naysayers simply have no basketball, and probably little sports knowledge. LB and the majority of women's varsity programs in the country have never been what I would consider decent. At least not in my 20 years in this area. To say a coach has talent to pick from in high school is interesting to say the least. There is very little talent for basketball in this area due to a number of reasons. For one, there is really only one good AAU program in the area and many of the players they pull aren't even from Fairfax County, and those kids who are from Fairfax County often play at private or college prep schools. This has been the case since I was playing a number of years ago. Also, other sports in the county take precedent for most female athletes in Fairfax County. Soccer for one is much more popular locally. When it comes down to it, in order to truly be competitive you have to have kids that by the time they are going into 9th and 10th grade, are starting to really focus on a given sport. This is especially true with basketball because if you are playing competitively on the AAU circuit you are basically devoting March-July every year completely to the sport, often spending 5 days a week between practice and games, plus travel. Everybody on this board and likes to complain should take some of the time they spend writing this BS and start coaching and devoting time to student athletes.

I am not sure of the points you intend to make, interesting.
Lake Braddock's team and others like it are not very good? The quality of teams vary but the "bigger" outer suburban schools in large metro areas throughout the country have decent, but not necessarily great teams. This was true in the 70's when my outlying Chicago suburban team (and other schools in my conference) traipsed down to the city to get positively clobbered by city teams, and generally speaking, it is true today (although there are Division 1 suburban top talents from time to time). Playing against a team of guys who could dunk with a knee in my throat persuaded me quickly to focus on another sport which I pursued on scholarship at the Division 1 level. I don't think you are pointing out anything new to the sport virtually anywhere. Suburban public teams tend to be decent to good, but not great.
The difference today is the rise of AAU teams. But you think this is a positive? Yes, these teams are great for recruiters and the hype machine, but the AAU experience is far from positive in my view. Playing multiple games in a short time period only encourages lousy, lackluster defensive play, and helps further a star mentality in players which does not help them. It dilutes the high school programs as well and is not compatible with rigorous academic demands, either. And the AAU teams certainly do not help towards a balanced high school experience. It used to be that the high school state tournaments in many states was one of the best athletic and social experiences of the year. AAU ball, and the phenomenon of kids playing at basketball academies has changed all of that. And you cannot persuade me that AAU ball and the over the top basketball academies make for better pro ranks. The number of talents who can truly play at this level is small. They will get the attention and development in any circumstance.
Given this backdrop, I think it is important that boys and girls have a good, in fact, even a great high school team experience. This means a lot of things - including making certain kids learn to cope on their own with issues of coaching, playing time, and team dynamics without running to Mom and Dad (Mom and Dad should only be involved if there are serious conduct issues by the coach). I cringe when I see parents getting involved in coaching matters, as it really doesn't help the kids, who if they intend to get anything from high school sports, should learn to fight their own battles. Any AD worth his salt, though, should put a very mature and together leader in as a varsity basketball coach. The head football coach and basketball coach in a suburban town is, like it or not, an authority figure and a leader of a significan source of local entertainment. I would absolutely expect a varsity coach to be measured by demonstrated maturity and leadership skills. What can the parents do if they don't see this kind of leadership? Not much. One of the hazards of a huge county school system is that the principals and superintendent ranks often don't live in the local high school community. In a small district or town, the pressures on a principal and AD to hire top notch, mature people for basketball and football is much greater - the community is involved. It is, at the end of the day, however, only high school sports.

My experience with ADs in FX is that they simply hire their half-educated, redneck, beer-drinking buddies and that's about all the thought that goes into it. then the rednecks ruin the experience of team sports for the kids. Great system for the ADs and redneck drinking buddies, not so hot for the kids.
has an AD in FX ever been fired for poor performance of the program (not personal problems)?

There is only one player on that team so accept it. It is like when Dominick Morra played there and any of his teammates could tell you only Dominic was 'allowed' to score, per their coach! Your daughter will get no baskets either because if it gets anywhere near their big she is not giving it up to a teammate if her life depended on it ! Occasionally Marcia, Mckenzie or Haley will drop one if Nat is triple teamed. There is one play on that team; positions 1,2,3,and 4 all must pass it in to #5. copious amounts of coaching knowledge not needed! We know what games they will win and which they will lose for the rest of the year. They will beat South County, West Potomac, Lee and TC Williams every day, all day as they have noone to defend Nat. It is not brain surgery. If Finnerty is shooting they will lose to Woodson. Annandale the only unsure.

I think the playing time parent is likely member of current team. Not one of the 6-7 who quit because of poor coaching, horrible team atmosphere, and an AD who does not care. More Complete live in real world. It is place where many parents and players wrote about corruption. The inappropriate behavior. The lack of character. Guess what? The AD protected her. You don't tell him what to do. He reigns. He is buddies with head guy and spins it. Are you that naive?
I do not have a kid playing. And I frankly do not care if you believe it or not. But I do know the truth. If you are such a great citizen why don't you call principal. All on the coach

A local athletic director has been hiring illegal coaches and then murdering them at the end of the season to avoid paying them. He was burying them behind the Kings Park Giant before the pressure got to him and he decided to coach soccer at an all girls academy.

I had heard this too, that the finger was shot at TC Williams after the loss... by comparison I just read an article about another local program and coach. To her, teaching character matters ! The coach from Edison:
http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/article/20130214/SPORTS/130219543/-1/lewis-makes-impact-on-players&template=fairfaxTimes
The character of the idividual, the professionalism exhibited to the girls as well as how one behaves on the court DOES matter ! At the high school level it is definitely not just wins and losses!

I can read, but thanks for the recap!
So let me get this straight, the person giving the finger isn't even on the LB staff? Well then the coach should be fired! Makes perfect sense! Guess when you dislike a coach that much you'll look for any little reason you can find. Too bad complaining on the internet says more about you than it does about her.
Thanks for posting the picture. The guy in it has little class.

While I know that this is your agenda, please understand how ridiculous you sound.
The person who flipped the bird should be disciplined or removed from their position (even if only volunteer) but fire the whole coaching staff? Anyone can see how extremely biased you are.
Let me clue you in since you seem to be painfully unaware… Just because you (or your daughter) didn’t get to play, or didn’t have as much fun as you wanted to, doesn’t mean the coach is some terrible person who should lose her job. I know that's what you want, but the desire to see her fired is based on your feelings of unfairness or being hurt, and not in reality. The sooner you understand this the better off you will be.

Yes, I can. It’s called “reality”. It is you who is blinded by some sort of vendetta due to feelings that you were wronged by this lady and are now living in your own little world where she can do nothing right.
Perhaps this will help you see how ridiculously petty and one sided your point of view is…
Everyone else = Coach of the year!

Granted the Coach should not be fired for the actions of her father as that is a bit extreme but this does show the apple does not fall far from the tree, as stated previously. Ms. Janis has been out a good chunk of the season on maternity leave but one can imagine with all the wins this year the powers that be took notice and she was nominated. They only can see the wins and losses and with a player going to Georgetown it looks good for everyone at Lake Braddock. Surely one would hope those voting her in for Coach of the year are not aware of how she talks to the girls in the huddle just last week ..as one of the players related to my daughter..."You guys are Fuck**g embarassing me !!" She is like Bobby Knight and these daughters did not sign up for the verbal abuse. More Complete likes to play devils advocate cause as he himself states he does not know the inner workings of that school, the coach, the girls or the athletic director. The girls have never played like a cohesive team as the game plan is entirely as follows.."Get the ball to Natalie!". Of course this has worked somewhat because there is noone near her size anywhere out there in the Patriot league. Even if she is triple teamed the coach gets upset if someone else who is clearly wide open with a shot, shoots and misses.
It is an embarassment to the school itself and the community to have pictures circulated of the head coaches father flipping the bird to innocent girls who merely played AS A TEAM and beat your daughters team! but nothing is ever done; character and respect mean nothing and that is a sad statement of our times. Anyone who defends these actions should do some self-reflection.

No, it really doesn’t. Has she been flicking students off recently? Had not heard that. It does show her father to be pretty classless. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she is as well.

Indeed I do like to play devil's advocate. What I DO know is that a simple glance at the first page of this thread shows the true motivation behind the endless posts trashing the coach.
It isn't FOR the team. It isn’t FOR the girls. It isn’t FOR the school.
It is simply because someone got sat down on the bench and their got feelings hurt.

Ummm, I did. Apparently you missed where I called him classless and agreed that it was an embarrassment. Look above your post. Are you blind?
None of this changes the fact that this whole thread was started with an agenda over hard feelings about being benched now does it?

Ummm, I did. Apparently you missed where I called him classless and agreed that it was an embarrassment. Look above your post. Are you blind?
None of this changes the fact that this whole thread was started with an agenda over hard feelings about being benched now does it?

Since you’re admitting to starting the thread, you would know. This is a person you feel was “unfair” and you decided that defamation of her character via the internet would be a wise decision. Way to go!
Perhaps you should have spoken to her like an adult instead of hiding behind a keyboard typing nasty things about her…. but that would take, you know, “good character”.
Or, you could realize that life, and more specifically sports, by their very nature, are not “fair” and sucked it up, it would have been “character building”.
But you chose to air your grievances on FFU instead. I’m hoping you will someday understand why that wasn’t the smartest move and spare the next person who draws your ire.
Again, not holding my breath. :)

I did not start this thread
I sysoect I know who did and why.
My kid does not play on the team.
And if you knew me at all you would know I never hide. I speak my mind to people. And have spoken my mind to people about this. Not many people have.
I just think this is entertaining but sad as well.
I believe all children in our schools deserve good role models. And I think photo is a bad role model. And I know firsthand that much of this is true. Not all of it of course. But much is true. I will never convince you. You are on sidelines in a world where you can reason with unreasonable people. I live in the real world where roadblocks are common and cannot be overcome sometimes.
You live in some dreamland where trying to do right thing always results in change. I am glad for you. Enjoy that happy place. I hope she stays. There will be more stories and more drama.
Maybe you will learn something.

Hello sportsfans! I am an out of town follower of @FullCourtWBB on Twitter. I used to live in the Burke area and I am familiar with the tendency of the AD at Lake Braddock stocking the GBB coaching position with his Vogues buddies for many years. So I DO remember that. I contacted a local sports fan friend after seeing this picture come across my feed, who told me to get some insight from this FU site. I get the drift but don’t have time to read this all! I see much is the same across the board there but it is important and palpable that Lake Braddock is being represented in a very negative light. The twitter boards are still lighting up today : for example:
bit.ly/YE8ida Father of Lake Braddock HS Head Coach flips the bird in photo behind winning team @FullCourtWBBall @DMVBBallScoop
@hoopfeed @SwishAppeal http://bit.ly/YE8ida Father of Lake Braddock HS Head Coach flips the bird in photo behind winning team
These tweets to tens of thousands of followers have the bitmap picture hyper-linked in the tweet. These tweets going out and re-tweeted to 17,000 followers on @FullCourtWBBall (THE leading journalistic website providing up to the minute coverage of WNBA, NCAA and Prep women's basketball. They are followed by all the colleges and scouting services //they re-tweeted this representing Lake Braddock !)
.. @Hoopfeed has 10,000+ followers , @DMV Elite: 1,500 followers, @LBoogie213: 1,100 local basketball followers and ESPN writers, @DMVBasketball another 800 followers, @SwishAppeal has another 1,700 followers: SB Nation's college & pro women's basketball site. Then there are all the responses and re-tweets from numerous followers of these accounts…too numerous to document for you… but I guess it is just the whiny parents who find this behavior despicable huh??? The damage has been done and will presumably continue.....only now on a national forum.

No, it really doesn’t. Has she been flicking students off recently? Had not heard that. It does show her father to be pretty classless. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she is as well.
/////////////////////////////////////
Not sure what barn you were raised in More Complete but my mom taught me that cursing at people..in this case her players, is just as bad if not worse as her father flicking the bird. Ergo the apple not falling far from the tree analogy does indeed apply. That same posting noted that she told her girls in the huddle "You guys are Fuc**ng embarassing me!" It has been potty mouth and even a bottle thrown across the court all yearlong. The many girls that quit the past couple of years have concurred this as fact and I am sure that once Butler, Strawderman and Hunter(the current seniors) leave they will corroborate this fact as well. Well, maybe not Nat as the "Get the Ball only to Nat" system served her well :) Congrats to Nat as she is a lovely girl.
That said, and cursing aside, her comment was in regards to 'embarrasing "ME" ' ?? Really? I asked my daughter to confirm from her player on the team friend and I asked that girls mom to confirm this statement because this in and of itself is so all incompassingly pompous that it blew my mind. SHE is not playing! She did not even coach much of the season...they are F-ing embarassing HER? I can see coaches will let out a curse word in moments of high frustration of the heat of the moment...occasionally. One would think a seasoned respectable coach might be saying something motivational and coach-like such as, "You guys are better than this, you need to step it up" or even "Stop embarassing yourselves out there". But "Stop Fuc**ng embarassing ME!". That is just classless inexperience.
"Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully."
One day, I can see the apple pulling something like this http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2013-02-19/mike-montgomery-allen-crabbe-shove-apology-cal?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl5%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D272346 And the tree, her dad, will likely shake his leaves and applaud her.

This pales by comparison to what she did to many of the girls who left. Some lifelong players of the sport who did not deserve to be benched because their parents spoke out against drinking, cursing, throwing things. Yes More Complete, that was why they were benched. Not because they did not deserve to play or have skills. So there goes your lame brain theory no one spoke up, More Complete. They tried and their kids were PUNISHED.
This is a national story

Really? A national story though? lol
We already know the girls tried to talk to the coach and she told them this was her program and to deal with her decisions or leave. We know they then left after she did not want to listen to them. We know some parents tried to talk/complain to her and their kids were basically benched till she went on maternity leave. One can live in a totalitarian situation and enjoy the control or they can exercise their right to leave. Yes it sucks. With all the phone calls to Fairfax County public schools, letters to the AD and principal and discussions with the sports governing body, nothing was or will be done. An inquiry was done which consisted of the good ol boy calling the Lake Braddock AD good ol boys, lies were told to cover up and it boils down to a He said, She said. It is what it is and it is a lesson in life that sometimes it is just not fair.
Accept it...
I am just a single mom who used to play basketball. My daughter does not play but I truly think I could have coached that team with that game plan of GTBTN (get the ball to Natalie) She was beast with noone in that league to go up against her. They would double and triple team her and they looked like pesky insects jumping around in the trenches.

Keep it up - at least the West Springfield stories get buried while one person worries about girls basketball!

This. Helen Keller can spot the writing styles of the -- at most -- 1 or 2 folks with the coach-attacking posts, over, and over, and over, again.

I believe that Jimmy Nasimtih was referring to Ms Janis being the previous coach of the Athletic Director Martino's daughters when she did her little coaching gig with the Vogues. I dont think he was referencing this coach training Nat as this has all been covered in the Washington Post articles how her father has pushed and trained her the past few years.
I also believe the CONGRATS LADIES post was to the ladies of the basketball team thanking them for their time and energy and did not address the coach
It also did not escape me that a post was recently posted from an out of towner giving examples of twitter followings entailing over 30,000 followers that included that TCW pic and a negative shadow being cast over Lake Braddock referencing how this cro-magnum 'fliping the bird' just represented DMV basketball. Does anyone not think this is sad for basketball in this area as well as in Burke? I am not really sure how all that twitter stuff works but I did go to twitter and look up a couple of the larger of the names posted and see all the college coaches who follow them! I see where the @Hoopfeed with 10,000 followers posted and responded about that pic. (1:00am cause I was trying to figure it all out and confirm that)

I've never been on this site, but heard of the trash that it contains. I feel pathetic even commenting, but I want to say this to any parents/fans that have spent obviously many hours on this thread.
1. You are spending so much time and energy on this site. You are quick to criticize the coaches father, yet the time you are spending on here is time away from your child. Think about it.
2. LB GBB had to be rebuilt. That's no secret. I've followed and been a part of Patriot District Basketball since the early 90's. Sometimes a program needs a hard nose coach that is not popular among the fans/parents to get the program back on track. That takes several years, not one season. I applaud her for doing what SHE wants to do for HER program.
3. I have seen this team play and I must say that there is a huge lack of basketball talent. Not saying that any of the girls are "terrible," but compared to other teams in the district, they did a hell of a job this season with what they had.
4. Coach of the Year was given to her because she clearly earned the respect of other coaches in the district. And for the person that made the comment that they don't know what goes on in the huddles and so forth...you are sadly mistaken. Other coaches all lean on one another because they all fight the same battle: parents that try and run the program. Parents that hate the coach because their daughter doesn't get the chance that the PARENT thinks they deserve. How about teaching your daughters to still fight, have a good attitude regardless of how many minutes they get in a game. That's REAL LIFE!! You continue to work hard no matter what. That's a lesson that you should be preaching to your child. Your negative energy is not helping the program.
5. Congrats to LB Varsity Basketball this year for surprising many people. Most importantly, much respect to the head coach for battling this season while being VERY pregnant. That's pure dedication. I can't imagine being 8/9 months pregnant, working long days/nights and dealing with parents that try and live their dreams through their kids.

OK, 95% were grumpy parents, and probably the same 2 or 3. Not hard to tell. So, they won quite a few games this year, and the coach was named Coach of the Year. Must rock the world of the whiners. So, if they lose next year, does that validate the collective mewling of the helicopter crowd?

I never said it was rebuilt yet. It could take another decade if there is no support from the parents. Parents bringing negative energy is what can keep a program from being even more successful. What your children hear from you at home and in the stands does nothing but conflict them. Support them whether they play 1 or 32 minutes a game and allow the coach to do the coaching. If you continue not to like it, I suggest you put your name in the bucket next time the job is open and we'll see what you can do!

It will be interesting to see Kaitlin and Marsha TRY and carry this team next year while the one point guard who never goes left and the other one who turns over the bal at LEAST ten times a game. This should be fun. I also happen to know for a FACt that two of the parents on here discussing character and this coach have girls that are two of the top six playing time girls on the team. you have no idea what kind of verbal abuse these girls are subjected to. The team gelled when the asst coach John was coaching. He cared and coached them and spoke to them with respect. She came back and all the girls fight among eachother. You just don't know, this is not about playing time for most.

I have no daughters, and I have not posted to this thread yet. However, I did watch LB girls varsity, JV and freshman ball this year. I would argue with "sad" or anyone else because this entire program is in pathetic shape.
It is one thing to say there is "no talent"; it is another to recognize that there is no coaching happening AT ALL with the talent available. (Never mind the fact that talent has been supposedly driven away by the coach.) Basics at all levels aren't happening...girls don't box out on rebounds, they have no idea how to play good team defense, and at the JV and freshman levels they aren't even running plays. The idea of an offense is to run down and whoever didn't turn the ball over gets to jack up a 20 foot shot where if it hits the rim and isn't an air ball it is a successful trip down the court.
Anyone who knows what is happening would also know that the varsity coach didn't even use Natalie appropriately. You have the region's best player, and a good coach would have taken full advantage of that and run a low post offense through Natalie instead of making her create everything for herself. It came home to roost in the District tournament, and by losing to TC they ended up facing MV and got crushed.
With what I've seen, the next few years are going to be brutal. With Natalie gone, the "band aid" of poor coaching is gone as well. They'll be lucky to win 5 games next year.

Finally the voice of reason! It's hard to watch these girls get destroyed. Those girls worked their butts off all season with barely any training. The coach focused on Natalie only and she has no clue how to teach them how to shoot actually she never worked on that. The very few who did box out were taught by AAU coaches not her. They were at times lost with what they were supposed to do because it was only get the ball to Natalie. There are other players who were looked at by colleges and the coach dismissed that. I feel bad for these hard working kids who have done nothing wrong and these girls who wanted to quit at times stuck it out and fought to get better. It's hard staying with a coach who does not believe in her players but one. The passion is gone in these girls! Look in their eyes the fun has been stripped from them. I know that not one parent on the team complained this year they were too afraid too! If a parent was to speak up their child is punished.

Better have deep pockets to buy out the site then. Quit your whining about the whiny parents because this is serious business when a picture of this nature goes viral.
I am a TC Williams parent and what this man did is despicable to our girls. Our whole school is talking about the poor sportsmanship of Lake Braddock and their coaches dad. Our kids are aware their picture has been posted on this site and floated all over twitter as well. We will see what action is actually taken by your school in addition to his note of apology. Our athletic director and head coach have been getting eMails from many college coaches a well as local school coaches about this picture. For anyone not to be disgusted by this is just sad.

The only “speaking up” has been by anonymous cowards with an internet connection. I’ve read every post on this thread. Not once has anyone mentioned speaking to the coach. Not one time. I challenge you to show otherwise. In fact, it was stated repeatedly that people were too scared to say anything and that it wouldn’t do any good anyway. Hence the anonymous repetitive whining.

Ah, the old "Tell Us Your Name!" internet game. It's usually pretty productive. Let me help -- if people WANTED to use their real names, they probably WOULD have used their real names in the first place.
And writing style is right -- it's pretty easy to tell that the VAST, VAST, majority of the coach-rippin' posts have been from one person.
But I don't get one thing -- are people really saying that the coach should be disciplined because her dad flipped the bird in that photo? Why?

To me the flipping off incident is a classless and peripheral act. I don't care about playing time, who has been hurt, etc.
From my view, the coach needs to go because she is flat out a bad coach and is incapable of leading a strong women's basketball program at LB. If any objective person who knows the game of basketball watches all levels at LB--from varsity through freshman--it is horrible to watch. There is a basic lack of fundamentals, and it is easy to decipher that there is a lack of any coaching, never mind bad coaching.
Also, contrary to what others have said, I believe that Nat Butler was handled poorly. Most are saying the whole season was "feed the ball to Nat" and I'm saying that Nat wasn't utilized properly at all and the offense that utilized her correctly and providing better scoring opportunities for all players. It is very rare for a 6'4" girl with skills to show up in your program, and any decent coach embraces the opportunity.
And I'm not the "same person" posting over and over. I've only posted using the above "name."

I haven't ever posted so I didn't know about registering. I'll be sure to do that right away.
As for "ploy" all I did was post a very mature opinion on the topic FOR THE FIRST TIME, and you and others engage in the tactic of "it's the same person" in order to immediately denigrate and attack the person's opinion rather than counter with opinions or facts of your own.
SO actually, you are a pathetic troll who can only insult due to your own lack of intelligent or coherent thought. Try to counter what I've said, but be careful because I have facts and a strong sports background with no emotions tied to the situation.

Thanks, Rev. Certainly, the comments of the coach bashers on this site will contribute to the healing process. Not.
25 people? REEEEAAALLY? Nah, no way.
I'm still a little confused about why the coach -- y'know, Coach of the Year, as voted by her peers -- should be punished for her dad's disgusting action. But you don't care -- all you care about is attacking her. And you'll attack the next coach, too, until somebody makes you happy.

Good idea!
Um, do I have to put my real name on it? Can I sign, "Dick Hertz," or "Holden McGroin," or "Heywood Jablome?"

This is a great idea. Just make sure it’s an online one that allows anonymous signatures so the same person can sign it 500 times.

Now that More Complete has been called out on that silly 'Post your real names on here' crap he responds in a six year old flippant fashion with "I don't think you even know 25 people"?? or "Yes you are" That's all you got? Noone cares you think you are superior for posting a "registered name" people been telling you for a year to get a life and go do some volunteer work. Be like Nike and Just DO It! We are pretty sure it is a HE because I believe his wife signed on here one time to defend him, or he signed on and pretended to be his wife to make it seem like someone could actually stand to be married to his know it all self. Never even been to a game, never seen the coach in action, never lived a minute inside of Lake Braddock, Fairfax high school politics. I know of numerous people who have posted on here over the past year. I know parents from Woodson have posted, coaches from other schools, past applicants, people who attend games with no kids currently attending who live in the community, parents who have moved their kids out of Lake Braddock for better opportunities at the private schools, I know of parents of girls who were on the team who quit have visited here and spoken up and contacted Fairfax county as well. I know for SURE of three parents who have been in to speak to the coach and I think More Complete needs to reread this entire thread and find mention//which he will likely do since he has nothing better to do with his pathetic life than to read thousands and thousands of posting from the past year+, and correct grammar and spelling along the way like he is the annointed grammar police of Fairfax Underground. You are an idiot continuously speaking about something you know absolutely nothing about. I will grant you there are a couple wackos on here with extreme views regarding the coach but bottom line she was totally unqualified for the job and lucked out with one 'great' ( for the Patriot league in Fairfax county) player this year. I know a couple of the parents of the seniors who quit went in and she screamed at them till she was red in the face is how I heard it. Whether that is a fact I can not attest as I was not a fly on the wall nor was there a tape recorder present but it IS a fact parents have been in to try and talk to her one on one and she is less than respectful and grown up in her approach. Her peers see only the wins and losses as they play against the team who wins because Natalie is unstoppable against no competition across the league. Simple really.
There have been links posted on here proving the Vogues connection with the AD and all his past girls basketball program choices, a Woodson parent signed on attesting to the bottle throwing across the gym floor incident, parents of past players attesting to her cursing and demeaning screaming at their daughters. Ask the girls and most of them will tell you and definitely the ones who left will confirm this. They have moved on and have nothing to lose, they are not bitter but feel sorry for the girls subjected to it if they chose to play.
At an AAU event over the past summer when some parents and kids got together one night for dinner this basketball blog was brought up and a few people in the group had heard of it or had visited it. Players represented 5 different high schools. A couple of the other parents and I laughed about this More Complete dude. You are Famous More Complete. People representing Damascus, Vienna and Germantown even know what a jerk you are.

Yeah, but she probably feels MUCH better getting all that venom out of her system. She might even have the strength to sign the "fire the coach" petition. As "Thelma N. Louise."
Yes, literally MILLIONS of angry basketball fans have stormed this board, yea, as the army of Joshua stormed the walls of Jericho, and the walls fell when a bunch of chardonnay-sippin' soccer moms with mid-life crises blew their gardeners.
Wait, did I get that right?
Maybe not. But I'm pretty sure that the Starbucks-infused screed above is hilarious.

OK
So NOWWWWWWWWWwwwwwww we are getting funneeeeee!! That was good .
I am sure this was one of the joke posters on here saying a petition is circulating to have her fired. Probably more complete signing in with 30 other names in order to stir the pot and rile up the masses and answer his own posts with his "registered name". In fact who is to say this guy does not really do this? Why are you on all these different FU boards all day everyday?
And No Dog in Fight is definitely a new poster with good syntax and basketball knowledge. And No Dog knows the difference between OUR girls and "ARE girls" and the difference between TO and TOO so you can't lump NOdog in Fight in with the others.

More Complete, your tactics are getting old. You stated parents had not been in to talk to the coach and it is a FACT that parents HAVE and when you are told this or reminded as it was previously stated, you belittle it.

Complaining is a job? How's that working out for you? Face it, at this point, the coach could cure AIDS, and y'all would still complain until you were blue in the face.

Yes, I saw a parent who got yelled at. Saw it. Heard it. Then watched what coach did to the kid. Parents do have rights MC. Are you a father? I am a parent whose kids have played lots of sports. Never heard of a coach acting like this in a varsity sport. Now, granted there are some crazies in youth soccer, ball, etc.
Just because no one has a photo from the Party does not mean it did not happen. Team events are team events. Coaches are role models. I agree with lengthy post above. But you are off topic now MC and so am I. Anyone who defends the action of that man in that photo is a moron. LB should apologize. Yesterday.
I doubt there is a petition.
There are real problems in our world MC. Go solve some. Please. Honestly the thread on poop is becoming a better read than hearing MC.

Let me translate: we still hate the Coach of the Year, and we don't like people who don't AGREE WITH US! This is NOVA, DAMMIT! If we're not happy, somebody has to PAY!
Again: who's defending the conduct of the coach's dad in the photo? Nobody. But, boy, the lynch mob sure likes to act like somebody is.

Dude, it's a message board. I don't have to shut up. That's the grace of the internet. I don't have to register a name. I don't have to do anything but derive a lot of amusement from your fury. Yes, my daughter played BB in FX County, and not for LB, and not for this coach. I've seen good coaches, and bad coaches, and coaches in-between. But I have never seen a bunch of malcontents and spoiled babies like the folks on this apparently endless thread. Personally, I hope she stays at LB forever, just to piss you off.

She got that courtesy of Nat and JV replacement. She was gone during most of wins.
You are daddy. Aren't you?
I personally don't care. Let her stay forever. Entertainment.
She owes many kids, current and past apologies. Show some class Coach. Admit your lack of experience hurt lots of kids. Not because of playing time but behavior. I know that is odd concept in this crazed place. Some things matters more than the score.
She could fix this with her actions. Easy. But is too much like daddy. Get angry and get even. When that is how you treat kids, people return the favor.

This blog goes away. Everyone agrees to live with results. Everyone moves on.
Simple. clean. Easy. No parents get involved. No ADs. No More Complete.
Coaches of year worthy of honor will embrace this. My kids plays another sport. Has a tough coach who pushes every day. She would follow him to ends of earth and beyond cause she knows he cares about her as an athlete and person.
This is best idea placed on this tired saga blog.

How 'bout we vote to silence the whiny parents! I'm guessing if everyone who posted on this "blog" had a vote, it would end up in a 5 to 1 loss for the one demented parent who keeps posting over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Also, at some point in every coach's career he/she would be voted out of his/her job by a democratic vote by players. Brilliant idea. Your best idea yet after 12 pages of posting as different "bloggers". If you had LB so much move your kid to West Springfield but, oh, they have a better basketball program where your kid would never play regardless of your bitching about the coach.
Go live your life and get off the computer. I'll do the same.

Better have deep pockets to buy out the site
then.
Quit your whining about the whiny parents because
this is serious business when a picture of this
nature goes viral.
I am a TC Williams parent and what this man
did is despicable to our girls. Our whole
school is talking about the poor sportsmanship of Lake
Braddock and their coaches dad. Our kids are
aware their picture has been posted on this site and
floated all over twitter as well. We will see
what action is actually taken by your school in
addition to his note of apology. Our athletic
director and head coach have been getting eMails
from many college coaches a well as local school
coaches about this picture. For anyone not to be
disgusted by this is just sad.

WOW! I made one post yesterday and since then there has been non stop posting on here! Your school is pretty sad but hey we all have issues. But I can see one issue arrising just from my simple post. You have very confrontational people on this board. I have read and re-read my post. I have had my daughter read the post. I had my husband read my post and none of us can see any possible way anyone could infer that I was "suggesting that the coach should be punished" because of the father flipping off our girls. Why didn't you just stop with the "I'm sorry" instead of attempting to be confrontational? My post was to bring it to your attention that this is a serious matter when a pic like this goes viral and should not be taken lightly. We have heard your coach offered to resign due to the pic (which I think is virtuous) but that your athletic director refused this. We don't know the final fallout yet though. Just know that many calls and letters have been received by TC about this pic.

I think the issues run much, much deeper. It is my understanding that is why people feel she should resign. I hope that your girls at least receive an apology. I doubt it will ever change at LB.

You don't have very good reading comprehension do you??? Th note from TCWmom stated he following..."We will see
what action is actually taken by your school in
addition to his note of apology." The sentence is saying that a note of apology HAS been sent forward by cro-magnum dad. Clearly more is expected in the way of a punishment for his actions.

you know you read every word just like you do every word of so many of these FU blogs because you have no life.

Must have hit a nerve! Did I insult you? Did I call you names? I don't think so. However, that you seem to feel the need stoop to such lows gives us insight to your personality. Based on this and your poor grammar, I can only conclude that you are a kid. I didn't mean to get under your skin. I just call it like I see it. When you grow up you will learn that just because someone has a different opinion than you, doesn’t mean they lead a pathetic life and need to volunteer somewhere.
PS - No one wants to read a rambling wall of text. Paragraphs are your friend. You have a better chance of someone reading your post if you use them.

I am not a kid More Complete...though I am sure you like to be dismissive and belittling of an adults observation of your behavior. I am not the only one who has noted this on here. I felt it necessary to advise you that when people from around the DMV are discussing you as being a pompous grammatical know it all who has no life but to patrol Fairfax Underground, well then you are a waste of space. This is not a name it is an observation of fact. It is brought up and posted with hopefully motivational thoughts behind it.
I always make paragraphs as I write my thoughts and when it posted it just came up as one big paragraph. I don't know why and I don't care. I assume I don't care because this is not an English paper, I am not obsessive compulsive and because I have a full enough life that I do not know the in's and out's of this site nor do I make it my life's vocation. I assure you when I wrote my thesis there were paragraphs in it sweetie. You might think you are above others because you can spell? seriously MoreComplete, if you are able to put down the Cheetos and bon-bons, turn off the soap operas, pry yourself out of your lazy-boy and away from Fairfax Underground next season...just for a few hours, as we don't want you to suffer convulsions and withdrawals..go see a game. Watch the team and the coach in action against preferably TC Williams where there might be some tension and watch the action unfold.(of course next year Ms Butler won't be there so any game will do) THEn, assuming you even know squat about basketball, then you can weigh in. If you don't know the game then see if you can befriend or sit next to someone that does. I will check back in with you next season. Hopefully you can report back that you don't live and breathe these FU sites as well.
F.Y.I - I have a Master's degree in Public Administration and placed out of a year of college upon taking a placement exam after high school. I was ranked in the top 20 of my 600+ graduating class in my high school for two straight years and an honor roll student. I attended a top University where I completed my Bachelor's degree in three years. I do not have the need to belittle everyone who tries to voice their frustrations on this site. You simply have a special place in my heart because people like you who think they are better than everyone else when they have absolutely NO idea or experience in the subject at hand really annoy me. So YES, that does indeed strike a nerve. But it strikes a nerve as an adult who works full time and still takes the time to give back. An adult who volunteers at Salvation Army with my daughter to teach her about giving back. I also used to take my kids to the Carpenter Shelter every week and read to the homeless kids to teach them to appreciate what they have until we moved from that area in Alexandria. As stated previously, I am an adult who volunteers at Walter Reed when I get the chance to do so to thank the soldiers who fight for our rights and freedoms in this great nation. For YOUR right to be a jerk to others and spend your entire waste of space life on Fairfax Underground as a so-called 'registered user' nit-picking at people's spelling and grammar or making comments about things you yourself state you have never experienced. I liken you to, for example, a white man who says they empathize with a black man's life experiences when clearly they can't unless they have walked a mile in his shoes!
Now, I say again, get a life! You have such grammatical gifts then help someone who can't read to gain a brighter future. It is truly sad and yes it IS pathetic to waste a God-given life spending it 24/7 on these blogs. When you look back from your death-bed over what you contributed to society will you have a legacy of calling out 'whiny helicopter parents' and 'frauds' whose grammar you corrected? Seriously, it IS pathetic!
I have taken a couple of days off to help my best friend move his octogenarian parents out of their family home. What's your excuse for ALWAYS having a response to every post mentioning you within a half hour? Do you ever spend time with your family ? I don't care if anyone reads my post other than you. You are the only one on here that 'racks my jaw' because unlike so many on here, you clearly have a brain you are not utilizing sir. Yes, I guess in a way, that is a compliment. I don't know you, perhaps you are a quality human being but I see a man who is not living to God's potential and that saddens me.
Truck is here so I must bid you a good day. Think about it. Stop belittling people and work on yourSELF! As the Cowardly Lion would say...Putting people down to make oneself feel better, is a cowardly version of confidence.

That's okay, it was still too long to read anyway. Glad you got it out of your system though! Feel better? I’m sure you put me in my place and let the world know how little you think of me. Ironic that apparently you think about me a lot. How flattering. No offence but the feeling isn’t mutual.
Seriously, you're throwing a fit and rambling on and on. That type of behavior is not unlike a child. All because you don't like my point of view. Again, having a differing opinion doesn't mean I have ill will for people or dislike them, it just means I disagree.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, posting anonymously on a message board over and over again about how you dislike a coach in hopes that she will be fired isn’t the smartest way to go about things. However, if someone points this out, just tell them to volunteer and write long crazy disparaging rants to them! That always works!
Speaking of stoned, Zoloft maybe? You sure have a lot of energy and are very, very, wordy. You also seem to be overly upset and perhaps even angry. That’s not healthy. Take a cold shower. Your opinions don't bother me, so don't let mine bother you.
Have a nice day! :)

Thank You FamousMoreComplete! Thank you for taking the time to attempt to get that man to leave those of us who care about our school, our community and our daughters, alone. But you knew he would attack you. That is what small people do. He made fun of you so you took the time to straighten out but this is how he rolls.
You were obviously trying to just let More Complete know there are "Other" competent adults on here and his full time non-stop interference is annoying.
---**of course he is to small to volunteer his time to help others
Thank you for doing so and helping others.

This cracked me up! Interference with what exactly? Did you think you were accomplishing something? Changing the world with each post! If only it wasn’t for me interfering! Oh man, that’s classic! You guys were doing so well with the first 500 posts before I came along huh?
On a more serious note, there was a post in another thread that I thought would be useful to you “competent adults” who have spent so much time and energy here…
I coached at two high school for many years. The easiest way to remove a coach is by parents complaining to the AD. Or, by having respected coaches at the school discuss the issue with the AD.
This is not bragging, just stating a fact. I resigned from one school some time ago and shortly after the AD heard he got so upset that I left the program that he fired the head coach. Afterward I got multiple emails and calls asking me to return to the program. I would have but within a week I was already recruited by another school. I joined their program and stayed there through the season. Even during the season I was approached by two other schools to come join their program.
Here is a link to the thread.
http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/2/774422.html
Notice that it’s not thousands of posts long with the same people saying the same thing repeatedly like it was groundhog day and denying that they are in fact, the same people.

They say that "opinions are like assholes..everyone has one "
More Complete, You state to the person who tried to point out to you how absurd your constant and immediate postings are ( I see this time you have held back in posting immediately, lol,,,must be sheer torture) , that you have an opinion and they don't have to agree.
I took away from that person’s post,( which was not too long to read in full, and which made very valid points about how much time you spend on these boards as well as how you demean people touting your superior grammar skills), I took away that with your education and ability to express yourself you might like yourself better if you helped others. It is very satisfying as I volunteer in my church as well. I help in the Sunday School and assist with our Meals on Wheels and it is very fulfilling. You obviously do not like yourself or humanity in general since you spend your life on FU accomplishing nothing just as you laugh at those posting as accomplishing nothing. Do you not see the irony of your reality? Who can say what anyone else on here does to contribute to the world but it is clear you spend 24/7 on FU as your "legacy" just as the poster said. I give you the benefit of the doubt that you must have a FU app that alerts you when a post is made to this blog unless you truly DO spend your life checking this thread every minute as stated by previous poster FU APP. I will pray for you indeed.
Unlike you MC, when I offer up my opinion I try to make it an informed one. I learn about the subject first instead of jumping in as a lead character knowing nothing about the players, coach, AD, the history of the program or ANYTHING. You have an opinion but it is an uninformed one.

I am fascinated that an issue with a girls basketball team could bring us 12 pages of posts.
I am a professional in a non-sports related field today, but my father was a very good high school basketball coach for a while at a large athletic powerhouse high school. I saw him coach - he was effective.
I was an All American NCAA Division 1 guy in a non-revenue sport, but lived my youth as a frustrated mediocre basketball talent. I really like love basketball, though, and I really like girls basketball in particular because I like the effort the girls bring and the fact it is a less vertical game than the guys makes it both different and interesting strategically.
In any event, I am curious. I never found that screaming, yelling, a coach appealing to his or her own ego, i.e., don't embarrass me, ever worked. I did find it very helpful to be reminded of the level of intensity and competitive fervor I needed to dial up was very high, and not to underestimate how challenging that could be. And I found it helpful to be constantly reminded about physical conditioning and making good health decisions, and that it is the nature of most of us to think we are working harder than we actually are and that we are not quite in the physical shape we like to think we are. But this doesn't require yelling or ego.
I may be naive, but aren't we dealing with some pretty bright kids in this suburban area? Isn't it rather generally understood that yelling, screaming and histrionics and coaching ego generally don't work with this generation in the suburbs today? And more important than what you say is what you do, especially with teenagers, as you never know when they actually listen to what you say? Yeah, I get it, football is a different culture (it just is), but really, it strikes me in a high school setting for all other sports an athletic director should strive for a coach with maturity, good judgment control, focus and direction -- without being a yeller or a screamer or an insecure its about me type. Kids have to learn to fight their own battles, true, but I wonder whether any of the AD's have this objective? There is likely a fair way for parents to raise this issue without meddling, either.
As far as the guy flipping the bird behind a victorious girls basketball team, I don't understand why things don't get immediately managed by the leader of the program - the head coach. Some loser did that back in my day, and the coach would not let that adult in the building again - or at least for a long time - he would make sure of it. Doesn't the head coach need to do the same here, even if it is her father? The head coach runs the program. The solution seems so obvious, I can't see why it was not immediately done.

At LB nothing is ever done! This has been the gripes of many parents. Everything is always swept under the rug. There have been many girls on that team over the last 3 years that have lost the love for the sport due to the yelling, demeaning ways. I have to say the athletic director never does the right thing ever. When it comes to other teams doing wrong he is on it immediately but not his own teams. He is pompous and a sneak always has been. I have a friend that knew him as coach, and leader at that school many moons ago and he was the same way. How is it that this keeps happening? I think it's time for fcps to make some serious changes or you will see more and more parents, teachers, kids etc... Angry NOT just basketball. The whole school has issues not just sports.

It is crazy though that He posts a link from West Springfield about how these Lake Braddock posters coud learn something and it talks about going to the AD and the AD would address the issue !!! How dang funny is THAT! That is one of the main points of the 13 pages now of frustration (and craziness and valid points) ! The AD and his unchecked power is at the core of the problems!

The AD excels at CYA and cover ups. The coach is immature and in over her head, but given time and the right position, she could evolve into a decent coach and...more importantly...a decent person/motivator/supporter. Nobody is going to get a full ride playing basketball for LBSS, except if you are a 6-foot plus phenom...remember, you can't coach or deny height. So people, puh-lease relax, take a chill pill, go volunteer, help the homeless, tutor, do something beneficial before you post again on this WHINE LINE.

I have been reading this post for over a year now, this is some very entertaining stuff. From the beginning to the end the majority of you folks are living in a dream world, I really don't know what you folks are watching when and if you go to LBSS girl's games. Do you really believe if they had a different coach they would win more games? They had a winning season this year and you folks are still complaining. Janis is doing the best she can with the talent that is given to her, NONE of those girls are any good. She is trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit every year. I don't care if the big girl is going to GTown next yesterday, SHE WILL NEVER PLAY there, and is only going there because she is tall. She is slow of foot, has no athletic ability and if she can't just turn around and lay the ball in she is useless, look at the Mount Vernon game they just played. Here is a better idea YOU APPLY FOR THE COACHING JOB IF YOU CAN DO BETTER.
I think this was all started by some delusional parent that felt their child should have been playing and got mad. This is the problem with high school sports, parent are trying to live their hoop dreams through their child. I think all of you folks need to sit back relax, and do the following things.
1. Stop making your child believe they are better than they are? Most of you haven't played a sport in your life so you don't know anything. Put them against all kinds of players and allow them to fail. When they fail don't make excuses and point fingers like you folks are now.
2. Stop believing AAU success. AAU and High School sports are different, just because your child may have had some success in the summer that doesn't mean it will translate to high school team. AAU is just for traveling and having a good time with your friends, it's not for anything else.
3. Allow your child to earn their way. Stop bitching and complaining to AD's and principles about your childs playing time. If they don't play it's the coaches decision the coach doesn't believe your child is good enough, if you don't agree TRANSFER. If your child is so good take them somewhere that will recognize the talent you see that the coach is missing.

You have missed the whole point! This is not about playing time or winning games its about behind closed doors. It looks to me that every girl on that team had playing time this year. So im not sure what dream you are having at night.

totally agree because Blackfeet has absolutely NO clue about basketball and how it works if this is this persons thought: "2. Stop believing AAU success. AAU and High School sports are different, just because your child may have had some success in the summer that doesn't mean it will translate to high school team. AAU is just for traveling and having a good time with your friends, it's not for anything else." Clearly if you or your child played AAU then you did not do so on a level that had a clue what it is all about. You must be the parent of one of the point guards who turns it over 20 times a gme for LB . That said...AAU is THE platform where college coaches attend and do their evaluations.
As regards to the silly comment "YOU APPLY FOR THE COACHING JOB IF YOU CAN DO BETTER." 5 other VERY qualified candidates did apply and they decided to go with the pretty unqualified unprofessional girl who coached the ADs daughters so your point is just ridiculous!!
Now, please share this with your buddy Ms Janis or with daddy Classy to pass on ( since we know he is a primary poster here)...
http://blog.strongerteam.com/
--- It gives 60 qualities of what makes a great coach. She fails the test miserably
Here is an example of a great coach in the area... she started with a slew of underclassmen freshmen and sophomores and they were getting slaughtered in the fsll lessgue pre-season games but she has motivated developed and tapped their talents. Last night their freshman point guard scored 20 points to beat Centerville. Every other player on the floor contributd an even amount of points. The center Sherrill was unselfish and set picks when she was double teamed and her teammates were allowed to score. The underclassmen were not yelled at for not getting the senior best player the ball. It was TEAM ball. Share this with your buddy Janis as well. It highlights how she gets to know EVERY player and taps into their strengths and their motivations. She does not curse them out, concentrate all energy on one standout player.. she practices fundamentals and develops her TEAM!

Clearly if you or your child played AAU then you did not do so on a level that had a clue what it is all about. You must be the parent of one of the point guards who turns it over 20 times a gme for LB . That said...AAU is THE platform where college coaches attend and do their evaluations.
As regards to the silly comment "YOU APPLY FOR THE COACHING JOB IF YOU CAN DO BETTER." 5 other VERY qualified candidates did apply and they decided to go with the pretty unqualified unprofessional girl who coached the ADs daughters so your point is just ridiculous!!
Now, please share this with your buddy Ms Janis or with daddy Classy to pass on ( since we know he is a primary poster here)...

--- It gives 60 qualities of what makes a great coach. She fails the test miserably
Here is an example of a great coach in the area... she started with a slew of underclassmen freshmen and sophomores and they were getting slaughtered in the fsll lessgue pre-season games but she has motivated developed and tapped their talents. Last night their freshman point guard scored 20 points to beat Centerville. Every other player on the floor contributd an even amount of points. The center Sherrill was unselfish and set picks when she was double teamed and her teammates were allowed to score. The underclassmen were not yelled at for not getting the senior best player the ball. It was TEAM ball. Share this with your buddy Janis as well. It highlights how she gets to know EVERY player and taps into their strengths and their motivations. She does not curse them out, concentrate all energy on one standout player.. she practices fundamentals and develops her TEAM!

I will preface this post by saying I do not know neither the coach or the father. What he did was very unprofessional, morally and ethically wrong. I am not condoning his behavior. With that said though, even if he is the primary poster on here, I do not blame him. She is somebody's daughter. I coached for many years and know that if somebody had dedicated so much time to negativity towards me, my father would be the first person to stick up for his daughter. It blows my mind that most of you are here to defend your daughters not being talked to in a particular manner, yet you can bash another female (who is somebody's daughter) and attempt to deflate her credibility. If your daughters came home and said some students started a facebook page to bash her, you would be fuming!! I would expect more from men that have daughters. You are on here defending yours, so what makes the coaches father so wrong for doing the same? This is totally aside from the picture, that was wrong. Come on people. This is ridiculous! Everyone on here should show more class.

GhettoChild Please.... It is not about winning and losing It is about how you play the game. Some people actually care about character development (see story about Edison coach above..thanks for that...a good read) Granted there were or are some parents on here who were upset about the clueless guards getting more playing time after the better parents players said something to the coach and she benched their kids. It has been her MO since the beginning but the lesser talent was never developed either. She does not develop or treat girls as humans but as her chattel.."Stop Fucking embarrasing ME!" WOWWww
GhettoChild, pay attention, the GIRLS know what goes on behind closed doors cause they are the ones cursed at and belittled or told to quit cause it is her way or the highway...the parents know what goes on behind closed doors because they went behind her closed door to try and talk and were screamed at.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Coach has a 'reputation' now to those who have not lived the nightmare as a Coach of the Year due to Wins and Losses. But those in the know or who have taken the time to watch her in action know the character is lacking immensely.
However that said, the primary issue HAS been bout the good ol boy network at Lake Braddock and the FCPS system that allows the AD to hand pick his cronies who are completely inexperienced. This entire thread started out asking about WHY the high GBB program coach turnover... not about Why isnt my kid getting playing time. Let's not overlook this. One thing is clear. When Janis is gone which she will be as she cant get or develop any talent, the AD will NOT get away with another hand picked Vogues buddy. That in an of itself was an accomplishment of this thread. I am SURE future parents will assure the process gets a review

I figured the best thing to do would be start a blog and change my aliases but people figured out that it was only me and one other blogster blogging on this blog so I got mad again because they have not life since they notice this. Also, I just pooped my pants. Oops. Fire the coach!

LB leadership should have acted long ago. That is who needs to be taken to task.
She made mistakes early on. Lots of them. To help someone develop as a coach a good AD works with them. You don't defend mistakes. You help fix them. You don't bash parents or the girls trying to find a way to make it better. That happened. That is reason this thread exists. Parents in this county will not accept that old school, my way or highway. Plus that is not leadership.
How about fixing the problems so thus blog can retire. Or does that make too much sense. I know for a FACT that numerous girls and parentsvtried to reach out. Tried to communicate. Tried to do right thing.
Many posted here because normal channels failed.
The finger incident was icing on cake.
Enough!
Tnis is all so needless.

i think its a bit ridiculous seeing all the parents on here back up a coach that had the kids lose confidence in themselves. she was a sucky coach that DID NOT deserve coach of the year. the AD himself does not deserve to have a job. you have amazing coaches that were lined up for this job and he took the young, blonde girl. Martino thinks lake braddock is some wonderful school but little does he know kids dread going to practice because of this physco lady. the seasons over and something needs to be done. kids should not be playing for a team that they don't learn anything from. when Janis was gone with her son the team finally came together as a team and that's how they started winning. if Janis isn't fired... Martino is the most ignorant person out there and he will regret it because there WILL BE a season where 5 girls show up because nobody else wanted to try out...GOODLUCK TO THE FUTURE BRUINS WITH A "WONDERFUL" COACH.

Now it is time to assure the AD does not bring in another hand picked inexperienced Vogues buddy. Someone start a new thread for next season and to let us know how the process goes ! Good luck!

What are you 5??? It's competitive HS sports, you and daughter need to grow some thicker skin. 16-7 record shows me that coach knew her stuff no matter how many 6'4" gargantuans she had on the team. If you think your daughter doesn't go around talking about people in vile ways and also discussing her next 3-some or whose dick she plans to suck this weekend, then you are sadly blinded in life. At least the coach did it to their faces and not behind their backs and still produced wins. If you didn't like the coach and what she said, then you should have pulled your kid off the team. If you did that, then it sounds like sour grapes that she still won without your daughter and got the best of you. Whatever the case, you lose in both scenarios.

New Lake Braddock Coach
Posted on: Monday, April 15, 2013
Dear Student-Athletes and Parents,
The purpose of this letter is to briefly introduce myself as the new Lake Braddock Head Girls Varsity Coach. I have had the pleasure of coaching basketball for the past 15+ years and I look forward to leading this great program. While I know the families from the past year, I am also eager to begin working with those families that I have yet to meet.
I look forward to building a program that this community and school can be proud of. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for the girls to grow strong character through healthy competition, and to develop their individual and team skills.
I am looking forward to a fun-filled season where the girls will learn and improve their skills as well as the values of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. I demand that each girl is respectful to coaches, fellow players, opponents, officials and those they come in contact with throughout the season.
I will be in contact with you regarding the summer and fall teams as well as the off-season conditioning program. There will be a basketball interest meeting after school as soon as possible to discuss the future plans for the program with the girls.
I look forward to having open communication amongst my players and parents. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can reach me via email at jgiannelli3@msn.com.

Freshman will be PG or transfer from Annandale. Should be lots of oppertunity for all players to contribute. Do not blame the coach he knows what he is doing. Have fun

No, not that former coach. So, I guess the practice/tryouts have started, wonder what's happening at LB. Are all the girls gifted and all parents happy? I bet they are. And, I do hope that this coach never, ever keeps parents out of practice, team meetings, locker room, or any place else they might want to be. Hell, maybe he ought have them into his bedroom at night.
At least the previous coach (not be confused with "former coach") didn't send out a tweet dropping the "F" bomb and invoking the race card after losing a regional game the way the MV coach did!

I heard the coach left because he was tired of losing and the girls didn't want to put in any extra work to get any better. They say when the coach was hard on them at practice they would all complain and have attitudes which distanced the team from the staff.

Bruin Fan must be a parent of a player who did not play much. You know the one who gives their kid everything they want and doesn't think they have to work for it. It's always easy to blame the coach because your kid is a failure. Maybe the kid is a failure because of the way you raised it. Look in the mirror if your looking for someone to blame and stop blaming everyone else.

Who cares about winning or losing? As long as I get to shower in the girls locker room, it's all good!

I know those girls you're talking about, Coach. Not a failure in the bunch. I don't know if any of them will ever play in the WBNA but the girls I know will be successful at whatever they choose to do. Jackass.

Bruin Mom if you are a real parent to one of the players I do apologize. I don't know any of the girls on the team personally, it was more of a response
to Bruin Fan and the way the majority of the parents in this area handle their kids.

I have a feeling that female coach is coming back. If so do not let your kids play for her.

The coach has been a male for the past 4 years. Gender wasn't the issue. It was the creep that got fired recently who was the problem.

It should have been done with the previous athletic director before Clark. I will also tell you that Clark is not innocent either.
