I am not surprised that the kids are not your first concern.

Classybball, numbers of kids in a school doesn't mean a thing! What are the options for kids in the winter? Perhaps some are doing something else. Besides just becsue you have over 40 kids in a class doesn't mean that half of them are girls. I have seen some schools that have 20 some kids in a grade and only 6-7 are girls, now out of those 6-7 how many play basketball? Numbers mean nothing!!

The above argument of getting kids to come out for your program - which seems to be a fire-able offense now days - has made it so hard for coaches in small towns to even have a fair chance.
No matter what small schools say - If a coach doesn't win, he will eventually get ran out -
But if he wins and his numbers declining because this coach actually EXPECTS something from his/her kids, therefore causing the kids that don't really want to work hard quit, he still gets ran out also because of low numbers.
It's Lose - Lose unless you have a community that doesn't care about winning - or a community that only cares about winning. In this day and age, there aren't many schools with these mentalities any more.
The fact that a coach can do something like this, with such a low number, should say something for that coach. your exactly right, if a coach expects something from their players, and they have to work hard they aren't going to be willing to give their effort to the coach so they won't go out unless the coach isnt there anymore.
Kudos to the Oakes School Board for setting the bar on how schools boards and coaching decisions SHOULD NOT BE RAN.

The time these people have to put in for no pay shows they don't do it for the money. Parents today don't seem to understand the abilities of their own kids and if a they don't succeed then it must be a coaching issue. Go watch a travel ball tournament and watch parents screaming during a 4th grade girls game and then fast forward that 5-6 years and these parents feel they have time and money invested and they want to see results. This is a bit of a rant but in this case the coach wasn't John Wooden and Oakes wasn't as good as the record. IF the case was nobody wanted to play for the guy then what choice do you have. Sounds like the board did him a favor.
