My grandchildren are athletes and I believe in discipline but not at the point of abuse! Whether that abuse is physical, mental, emotional or verbal it is not allowed!!! Our children deserve the same respect we ask of them!

It is unacceptable for any adult to talk to a group of student athletes in the manner I heard.

As a prairie view alum it’s sad that kids can’t have fun and learn in a positive environment and that language should be enough for dismissal alone!

A coach is supposed to build people up, not break them down. When someone in that role consistently treats others with disrespect, acts out of immaturity, and puts their own ego ahead of the team, they lose the right to lead. Those actions don’t just affect performance on the court —they chip away at players’ confidence, both in the game and in themselves. Leadership requires accountability, patience, and respect, and without those, the damage done far outweighs any potential success. And it proven in performance in game. He made me a worse player and person.

As a graduate of PVHS, it’s important to me that we uphold integrity, kindness and respect in our staff. Without staff displaying and demonstrating these key qualities, we run the heightened risk of our students not developing them.
