Our goal here, is to get as many signatures so Red Land HAS to listen to us and reinstate Mr. Slayton as the Red Land High School Basketball Coach, he didn't ask to be fired, we didn't ask for him to be fired, the players didn't ask for him to be fired. We want a coach that can win games, who has the deepest passion for the game that you could ask for, who never gives up until that final buzzer. Mr. Slayton was that coach, and he can still be with a signature, every signature is significant in the fight to keep Mr. Slayton as the head coach of RL Basketball, it is after all where he belongs. And please share so more people can be knowledgeable about this petition! Thank to everyone with the tremendous support.

The players are still hurting and the silence from the school is deafening. We are not letting this go.

Coach Slayton hand wrote a letter to each and every kid that attended his basketball camps. the personal touch showed my son that this man cares about the kids as well as the future of Red Land Basketball. those of you who are choosing to vote him out. ask yourself 1 question. Would you step up and fulfill the time and commitments to the kids and community that Coach Slayton has been doing for years?

Scott Slayton has the deepest passion for the game and the players he coaches. He does not deserve to be fired based upon his last several seasons. Instead he deserves to be reinstated because of the impact he has had on the basketball program, the community and on students of the game of ALL ages. It's clear that this community wants Scott Slayton as head coach!

I've had some dreams and one of those dreams was having coach slayton as my coach and going to the basketball districts and then maybe make it to states and from that moment I've always wanted to play basketball and now I am, so give coach slayton his job back.

Give coach his job back because it's not all about a win lose ratio and if he does go most of the basketball team probably won't come back and the new rookie that has the job will have an even worse win lose ratio

As a Red Land alumni, I am disgusted with the fact that Mr.Slayton was dismissed. What are you trying to teach the kids? I am so disappointed that the image being portrayed is that "winning is of most importance". Mr.Slayton taught more than the game, he taught life skills and pushed kids to their limits.

this is a wonderful man right here. A fantastic coach and teacher. I don't understand why I'm writing this or why "keeping him" is an option. It's not all abot the wins. It's about relationships building and leadership skills. This is the man for that job. I think he's proved himself by now!
