I am very sad to see the disrespect of one of the all time best female coaches in Hanover history. I feel fortunate to have played under Hank and that he treated us like athletes... not like girl athletes, but like athletes. As for the issue that perhaps his yelling and criticism is too much for parents and their special children, I can only say I feel sorry for those parents and children and wonder what life will be like in the future when tough teachers, and other people of authority "offend" "hurt feelings", it is this kind of Hanover behavior that makes me ashamed to say I went to Hanover High School. I am, however, always PROUD to say that Hank Tenney was my coach - he did more for me than any other non-parental adult in my life to date.
Shame on those of you who are unable to handle yourselves in a manner which would afford Hank the respect, honor and dignity he deserves. Shame on the Superintendent for caving to this horrible community behavior. Need I say more

As the Associate Director of the Academic Center for Student-Athletes at Louisiana State University I can say that we wish more High School Coaches had the integrity and strength of character that Hank both embodies and teaches.

I have known Hank for many years. He has instructed and coached my children and my grandchildren. I have always felt that he did a good job and appreciate his efforts and results.

Hank did a lot for me this year during the soccer season. I'm currently a senior and came on to the team as a player/ manager with the preconceived knowledge that I wouldn't have guaranteed playing time. I had talked to Hank before cuts and brought the idea forward. He said that as long as I understood that there were no guarantees for playing time he would try to get me in as much as possible. I found this extremely easy to arrange there were no issues. I was really excited to be a part of a higher level of soccer and to watch my friends that I've been playing soccer with throughout the years play too.
Although, throughout the season and with hardwork Hank saw my skill shine through my commitment. I do owe Hank for a great soccer season this year. In all of my experiences with Hank Tenney I have never felt treated unfairly or unjust. I believe he saw my potential but I also believe I worked hard to get to where I was this season. I wasn't a star but I had a great time on his team, gained new friends, and am proud of my hard work.
