The nonsense is your statement of “4 years of feed the ball to my daughter” the same thing happened to Kelsi Hulit against Garaway at the showcase in ‘17. I’ve been watching Malvern basketball for 20+ years. Using “my daughter” is the nonsense. When you’re good at scoring the ball gets fed to you. I don’t understand what purpose that statement serves other than to dog on a player and/or a coach.
No. It was feed the ball to who could score. Period. Stop using COACH’s DAUGHTER. If her last name wasn’t the same as the coach’s then what would you say? Were you giving the same energy when the same thing happened to Kelsi Hulit, twice? Probably not.
wow! I’m speechless.
I watched many of games this year. There was little to NO development of any player. He was focused on his daughter becoming top scorer in malvern history and just like this hire of a coach.. FAILED
THIS IS 100% A FACT. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT VERY CLOSE TO THE SITUATION.
Sure makes the AD look bad. If this is how they handle their hiring of coaches, sure makes you think twice about applying for any position they have open in the future.
I don't totally agree... could have been the case where they interviewed the candidates and were not sold on any of them so they went searching outside of the applicant pool. I think I would rather my athletic department exhaust all options than settle for someone they may not be totally sold on just because they applied. I'm not familiar with their past hiring practices but just a thought..
I also watched every single game. He was not focused on his daughter being the top scorer in Malvern history. This was unattainable. Her freshman year she was low man, averaged 8 points. Many games she didn’t take the most shots. Hudl has everything you need. This will be my last reply. You are committed to being misinformed. You are bitter about something and I shall waste no more energy on it.
I believe that if I was a coach, and If I was to interview for a position, then find out I didn’t get it because they gave it to an individual that never applied for the position, I just don’t think that’s fair to the people that interviewed.
It wasn't like they didn't have qualified candidates. I know 2 of the people interviewed and they both have very impressive resumes. The new coach definitely had someone on the inside pulling strings to bypass those that actually applied. Either way, Malvern got who they wanted so good luck to the new coach!
Qualified and the right fit are not the same thing in my opinion. I have no knowledge of the situation, was speaking generally about hiring practices.
From what I’ve heard there were coaches with previous head coaching experience, and others who had varying amounts of experience, many more than the coach hired…The difference they were all male. Maybe that’s what you mean by right fit. Why put a deadline to receive resumes if you are going to go out and do whatever afterwards. I agree that the AD’s job is what’s best for the athletes, but for the people that apply and are lucky enough to get an interview this is not the right way to treat them IMP Also, the new head coach has nothing to do with this so wish her best of luck.
Many different things go into right fit, not just male/female. But you make a very important point here. The head coach is the head coach now and hopefully everyone throws their support behind her regardless of their feelings on the process!
