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.

You should call Aggie. I'm sure she can get your daughter a scholarship based on her talent. Also, she will for sure get your daughter a college scholarship so you will save on the college money anyway, so you can probably afford the tuition. Either that or become Catholic.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

if coaches are basing decisions on parents thats too bad. But last poster could be right.

It is very obvious that half the people on here have never dealt with issues like these. FCPS is nothing but crap anyway. Granted there are some great teachers but overall its crap. Lake Braddock is the worst and if anyone moves to this area thinking they are going to recieve great schooling then something is wrong with them.

For those complaining about the coach and AD, please, shut up. I'm asking nicely. I even said please!
Life isn't fair. The sooner you learn this the better. You (and/or your kid) are not a precious snowflake.
I'm not defending anyone. Just sick of the pathetic whining in this thread, I mean blog.
When you grow up, perhaps you will learn to deal with things in an adult manner instead of airing your grievances anonymously on the internet.
Somehow, I doubt it.

sorry to burst your bubble, but I did post sicker thing but not other two. Keep on believing it is one person. It is not. And you got it wrong brother. It is the oldest trick in history, try to make those who speak their convnctions sound crazy.
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

More of the former. Kid sits on the bench, doesn’t get to play, parent complains that the coach should be fired. Pretty basic stuff.

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. FFX needs a major overhaul of its sports programs. LB just the most blatant example. This is on school board. First hold ADs accountable. Hold the coaches to high moral standards. 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
