They have tried to get him before. Why would he leave to compete with football. He can always win in Latham.

Looking back at the last round of interviews two years ago, there was a coach from up north that applied and interviewed, heard he was a great pick, but Bradley was local and had some success in the area.

Guy from up north withdrew his name last time. This isn’t an appealing job right now. Everyone knows about this parent group.

Why does Alexander belong deserve to go to Eastern?? Granted it’d be a great move for the kid with what Eastern positions eastern lost be a perfect fit and win way more games in a year there than rest of his career at Waverly. Plus being DVI in basketball is a much easier path I mean they made elite 8 this year.

I hope they recruit some of those Unioto players that live in Stockdale too! B.Fitch and K.Alexander would make a great duo next year and make a run in d6!
IF Fitch and Alexander went to Eastern that then top off the 6-6 QB playing his senior year to combine with what they have coming back Eastern would make a state finals run. That’s crazy to think about but it’s also how these teams are built kids know these things but ppl want to call it recruiting. Most are very naive to the fact all these kids talk with each other regardless of what school they’re at.

That ^^^.
Transfers are now an accepted part of high school athletics. Waverly has benefited over the years and in turn has seen and will see student athletes head elsewhere .

These days a high school coach not only needs to be proficient in X's and O's and player development, but must also be able to develop and maintain a culture where all stakeholders in a program want to be there. Easier said than done.

How did this topic get sidetracked. This is about Waverly’s coaching opening, not about players transferring.

This is the problem with society. People try to encourage kids to run from their problems instead of find ways to deal with them. People/Parents thinking that running from problems is showing their kid love but in reality they are only teaching kids how to avoid problems. Instead they should be teaching them how to solve problems. Maybe a player driven program is the answer to their problem. Maybe the players hold themselves and their teammates accountable. Maybe they explain to their parents that they are going to lead the program through their actions and dedication.

My question is why are people getting on some website saying transfer here or there. Because the people trying to get kids to join their program know their program is not good enough without getting better kids. Little Billy should be this or should be that. Society is not headed in a better direction by using this philosophy. Waverly is not a good job until the right person gets hired and establishes a culture of excellence. Then Waverly will be a very good job.

Personally I hope all the kids stay at Waverly and in the process are able to influence their parents to sit back and enjoy their child’s athletic career. And if the players are able to do that then they will lead Waverly to new heights. Waverly has had some great athletes, and some great individual teams but I’m not sure they have had a great athletic program. Maybe this is the time.

There is no problem with the kids or parents it’s been the culture that the previous coaching staff was trying to create by turning players and parents against each other and way more issues he created himself. HOWEVER That has all been handled properly by administration. Waverly is a great town and great school for your kids to go to. This post has went south by constantly bashing teenage kids by adults. It’s truly sad! Bullying is not ok. None of these kids are going anywhere now. They are all great friends. Let that at rest! Here say is just that here say! If you don’t know both sides you shouldn’t speak on it. Only the kids, parents, and previous staff truly know what happened. These kids suffered a lot and are all breathing a bit of fresh air now thankfully. This same issues happened at all 3 schools the previous staff was at and much more. It’s been handled! The school had the best interest of all the kids. This has never been a parent issue or kid issue and you’d know that if you was one involved. Let the administration handle the next best avenue for waverly tigers basketball!

A rabbit hole yes, but the potential for transfers plus other problems, real or imagined, hanging over the program will influence the attractiveness of the job and who would be willing to apply.

I don't think you can speak for ALL parents and players. I know some that were very upset with the coaches resignation. I believe "Parent issues" were very much involved.
