Scott coached my son and we were very impressed by the way he connects with the kids. I have witnessed how Mill Valley little league operates first hand and I am not surprised that a coach as talented as Scott cannot even survive here for more than a couple of years.. He is up against the kind of guys who would put their son on an Allstar team even if he had an arm injury and was unable to play..Scott will be a big loss to Tam High and I suspect that soon the word will be out and It may be difficult to attract a coach of his talent to to TAM in the future.Youth sports should be talent based and belong to our kids, It should be a time they get to test themselves and feel the satisfaction of making it on their own. It would be nice if the parent egos could stay out of it. Good luck Scott .

This politically charged witch hunt is detrimental to our kids and their -- yes their not their parents -- baseball program. Plus I fear it is doing irreparable damage to Tam High's image at large. It is a sad commentary that a handful of coddling, helicopter parents can damage a program and man's reputation so easily.

I WANT a coach who sets expectations. I WANT a coach who makes it hard to qualify so that my son has to perform to be considered. I WANT a coach who puts my kid in "outside the box" situations so he can grow to be a better ball player, a better teammate, a better man, a better future leader. Scott Osder and his coaching team have done this. It's not just about baseball with these guys. They truly care about the kids, and treat and coach them as young adults trying to navigate growing up in a competitive world! Terminating this coaching team would be a HUGE and selfish mistake!

The sloppy handling of this issue and terrible treatment of Scott Osder and his staff are reason enough for parents not to send their kids to Tam High. Irrespective of the tras

As a proud Tam baseball alum, it is my firm belief that Coach Osder is the most dedicated and committed instructor the program has had in years, even decades. Tam kids are richer for the experience of playing in his program, and isn't enrichment of kids' lives the goal of a Tam High education and athletic experience? Please, everyone, let's come to our senses. Thanks for your consideration..

Coach Osder puts everything into the Tam High baseball program and is an incredible Coach/mentor to our sons. My sons have been in Mill Valley athletics for 8 years in 4 sports. I have seen many Coaches and it would be the worst possible decision to terminate him. It makes no sense!!!! This cannot happen!! I will attend the Nov 17 meeting & any others necessary to keep Coach Osder @ Tam High School.Please remove this posting from any/ all areas and put Coach Osder back where he belongs leading our Tam High Baseball team!

It's a shame that a handful of "connected" parents can use false accusations to get a coach fired.

He has coached my children in the past. He did not pressure them but made baseball a positive activity.
I am not pleased that he was not treated respectfully
