Deer Lodge coach Andrew Verlanic facing discipline

Deer Lodge is coached by Bobcats Andrew Verlanic and Mac Bignell. Coach Verlanic is facing possible termination for changing sidelines so the HOME crowd can't harass the HOME team. I don't know if I have the whole story, but if Coach loses his job for training to protect his kids I think that's a big pile of B.S. It's really no wonder that folks don't want to be officials or coaches.

So who is coming out against this? Really don't understand what the big deal is? "Fans" feeling slighted.

There is a story out now about a Massachusetts HS coach that just quit due to non-stop verbal abuse he and the staff have suffered all season...

Sounds like a terrible situation and the administrators are just looking for a fall guy (but are so incompetent that they didn't realize they can't even accomplish that).


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

It has been a disaster for a long time coming. If I was Alex or Mac, I would walk away and let the school officials fend for themselves.
