Hard to believe anybody in the coaching profession would get on a message board and talk shit about another coach. Or at least anybody respected in the coaching profession.
It means people think every large school coach is better than small school coaches. It's the same BS that people said about Coach LePage at Jeff City. I don't live in SWMO, so I don't follow everything closely nor do I know the Ozark situation, but a lot of people are not smart enough to figure out that sometimes you just don't have the Jimmies and the Joes. I'm assuming people think that Paul Day forgot how to coach. Curtis Jasper hasn't done too bad going from Class 1 to Class 6...
Nixa's basketball program is elite with a CAPITAL E. Very impressive I was unaware Perry was doing that.............
Those are both very elite programs. Alongside perhaps Vashon the most consistent winners among the large enrollment MO schools.
Nixa has more than held their own against Kickapoo.. 13-11 in last 24 meetings... and they have pretty much owned everyone else in the area. Something like 10 Final Fours and a pair of State Titles. I would say that qualifies as ELITE.
Sometimes a bigger school requires more community interaction, often times there is more parent involvement (Good and Bad), maybe lack of administration support. LePage and Dey are two of the best regardless of sport. LePage created a winning culture at JC. I mean he was a OC at JC with Adkins and Cole. Its not like he didn't know what he was getting into. Too many yard birds at JC that thought they knew more. Look at JC now, its been a disaster since he has left. Bailey figured out it was a mess and bolted after 1 year. To say Ozark was too big what does that mean? Cause its a bigger school? I mean last I checked Ozark is far from being a playoff winning program. I guess the grass is always greener with the next "new" coach.
Couldn't agree more. The talent level at JC is far from what it was in their heyday. The last time they won a state title they had 3 guys from that team in the NFL. Coach LePage was very competitive at JC when they were almost always outmatched. Some parents, fans and community members were too ignorant to realize they didn't have the talent. But I'm glad they were and now he's back at BO.
I find it very hard to believe that if you were a coach, then you would be on here talking about another coach. If you were then you know that it is not all about winning or losing. It is about the type of young men he was affecting and producing. What kind of fathers, husbands and citizens will they be after they have been through his program. Everyone who knows him and knows his program will tell you that those young men are better because they played for Chad Dupee.
and a winning record againt POO in that time, as I pointed out above. Thinking the post was just to get attention....
That can’t be true. They lost 12 in a row before winning last year. Poo boys and girls had a 24 game winning streak against Nixa, 12 in a row for each. Girls streak still alive. Until they play in district this year.
I agree with your high ideals but in reality W/L are the end all to be all that is the cold hard truth. If a coach doesn't win no matter how good he is at all the other stuff in 9 out of 10 places he will be sent packing. Even if he had to face circumstances beyond his control like poor talent, poor buy in to the program by Parents and Players.
