Article:You're Fired...

And with that, that’s the result of winning a basketball game 100-0 and refusing to be on board with an apology given by the rest of us, (the rest of us being Covenant School, a private Christian institution)!! Let this be a lesson to all…Nobody, and I mean nobody fukcs around with the headmaster of a private school!

By now, we’ve all heard about this story, (at least I hope everybody has, if not, glad to see caveman are still alive and doing well in some places) and who the blame should go to…Why was this game scheduled in the first place, so on, and so forth. Wanting to hold the person who scheduled this game between the two schools accountable. While there may be a lot of merit to that, the fact of the matter is/was that the game was scheduled!! And nobody can argue with the fact that every high school coach in the country does know about and has insight to teams that appear on their schedule. I don’t care how bull shit/kindergarten the "scouting report" may be, the fact of the matter is that coach Micah Grimes' had to know at least a little something about Dallas Academy and what they bring to the court…And the potential that this game had a very good possibility of getting out of hand. That’s one of the responsibilities of Coaching 101…To prepare your team accordingly! Not just to collect a little more money! And if he didn’t know, well, Grimes wasn’t living up to the full meaning of the word "coach" in that regard as well!

Although, in the full meaning of the word "coach", yes, try to put the players in the best position to win, try expanding players knowledge of the game, and everything else one can think of that goes along with playing athletics. Besides all that, and more importantly a "coach" is in a position to pass along valuable lessons about life to his/her players through competitive athletics. Lessons that when the games are over and most are forgotten, the life lessons learned through practices, games, etc. will last a life time. Grimes was in that position in facing Dallas Academy…A chance to teach his players a very valuable lesson and surprisingly a lesson that few high school teams have. Turning this for all intensive purposes into a positive…Instead of taking full advantage of the situation and acting like a responsible adult he chose to take them behind the woodshed!

Now what kind of life lesson is that? An academy boasts of its small class sizes and specializes in teaching students struggling with "learning differences," such as short attention spans or dyslexia. Who has eight girls on its varsity team and about 20 girls in its high school…And you’re going to go BCS on their asses! Again very responsible! A parent who attended the game said Covenant continued to make 3-pointers _ even in the fourth quarter…Saying spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points. Again, way to teach valuable life lessons!

And then to make yourself look like a bigger ass, you don’t apologize! Stating…

'"In response to the statement posted on The Covenant School Web site, I do not agree with the apology or the notion that the Covenant School girls basketball team should feel embarrassed or ashamed," Grimes wrote in the e-mail, according to the Dallas Morning News. "We played the game as it was meant to be played. My values and my beliefs would not allow me to run up the score on any opponent, and it will not allow me to apologize for a wide-margin victory when my girls played with honor and integrity."'

"Played the game as it was meant to be played…My values and my beliefs would not allow me to run up the score on any opponent." Good to see you have the ability to talk out of both sides of your piehole! It appears that Grimes just may be that one who was on his high school basketball team, but never played, (every team has one)…Just good to see he’s not bitter or holds a grudge or anything like that! Gee, it’s a real shocker to me why you got canned!

Although, it’s debatable whether a 100-0 victory is grounds for firing one coach, the 100 point margin is just an extension of what kind of person Grimes really is! And while Coach Dickhead failed in teaching his girls a valuable life lesson that they would’ve remembered for years to come…It’s good to see The Covenant School didn’t fail in their attempt to convey a lesson! And that is that everybody needs to be held accountable for his or her own actions!! Incidentally, isn’t that really the purpose of schools first and foremost…To teach?

And somehow I don’t see an apologize coming out of the Headmaster’s office either for you dismissal, pal!
