Re: Jut to STM

Kim Broussard is also a very good athletic director and represents the program extremely well.

coaching, coaching, coaching

remember years ago the Knights wanted to build an indoor practice and weight facility

the administration wanted a library so they got nothing

its definitely not money at the high school level

which is why there was little success winning state in baseball

the AD, head basketball coach and head football coaches have been there for ages and are all older and at the end of their careers

this may also be something that was looked at by JR (or maybe promised to him) in making his decision

I would prefer someone with a pitcher development background. Someone who can take a B type pitcher and get them to an elite A type level.

Which is a polite way to say he didn't put up with any parent B.S. Baseball seems to be the worst sport, in H.S., in regards to parental engagement with players and coaches. Coach Thibodeaux was similar at TCH. They wanted to coach a certain way and just didn't have the capacity to deal with kids and parents who may have thought they were deserving of something they may not be.

Re: Jut to STM

baseball is one of the toughest sports to manage because unlike basketball or football there is not free substitution

once you are out you are out and if you are not a starter you are probably not getting in other than in the pitching position

at least softball has a little more flexible substitution rules

This is a ridiculous statement. Some of the biggest “donors” don’t see their kids play a lick at stm. Kim has been the same man for 40 years. Don’t slander that man…

Ask the coach why he stepped down.

I don’t know the former coach.

I do know Kim Broussard, and I stand by my statement that he has been a good AD, and more than that, is a really good man.

Who said he wasn't a good man?

No one, but it is important to recognize that not every "portion" of a comment is a rebuttal.

Runner was giving a personal endorsement.

Re: Jut to STM

Some of Louisiana's past pitchers who were ankle cuffed by the no hop rule would be elite pitchers today.

You are implying that he cares more about money than winning. That certainly is questioning a man’s integrity….

Re: Jut to STM

This is ridiculous. You think STM would be as successful as they are if parents were running the show?

I’ll be polite and just say that the previous coach was not a good fit. Their baseball team had regressed under Hargis.

Tell the board why the coach left STM.

I agree.

I was told he may have not been a good fit on the academic side as a teacher . Not the full reason but it factored into it supposedly
