EHS has some outstanding athletes playing basketball this year. Gentz, Childs, Canales, to name a few. It seems the players lost respect for the coach for some reason. Why? Was it the antics of the assistant coach that was removed? Was it a history of abusive and intolerant behavior? great with kids programs? absolutely! A program in need of a change! yes
A couple of questions.........what assistant coach was removed?? Who had the history of abusive and intolerant behavior??

Hey Cheese...After reading all of your posts it sounds like you don't think Bloomquist resigned either... It sounds like you blame his leaving on the kids, parents and administration.... I thought he just needed some change so he resigned!!!!!!
Not sure how you come to those conclusions.......he resigned, had to have a reason to do so, I am just stating the obvious ones!! :)
Admireed........good point!

good ole
not sure if your logic makes sense. I don't think toughness is taught with spring and summer leagues, that is when the kid is being turned onto the game and it's about fun. Coach Bloomquist did a great job of getting the youth of Emporia excited about playing basketball, not sure he was concerned about teaching toughness in a spring or summer league. Secondly I think winning over half of your games is a pretty good feat, especially when over half of the school is hispanic and not known for being basketball players. I can remember only a couple of hispanic players, the Torres kid a couple years ago and a Bueno kid in the 90's...... Sure he should have one with Wise, but a kid scored 40+ points in a career game, those things happen. Again, I am not about blaming kids, but they do have to have some accountability towards wins and losses just like the coach does. But I don't ever remember Coach Bloomquist saying it was his coaching that brought on the wins, he always gave credit to the kids, but when they lost for the most part he took the blame.

Coach B had a good run and decided it was time to go. After the season they had it sounds like a good decision. Don't blame this on the kids and their parents.
Who shall we blame.....Obviously the system works when the kids have the right mental approach and the parents stay out of it, when the team is littered with people that think they are too good, or don't go 100% dedication for the team then 6-15 seasons are what you get!!

Kids these days are lazy ........well I shouldn't say that in general because some still do things the right way and work hard........ "Coach doesn't start me", I quit. "Mommy and Daddy coached yelled at me today.....it's ok son I will go in and talk with the administration tomorrow" Good luck to the next coach, a lot of head case kids, head case parents and lack of student support makes this a real below average job....
