I am really proud of the group that I coached tonight. It was unfortunate that we were not at full strength because of Spring Break. My kids learned a lesson that sometimes the right decision isn’t always as fun. They made a commitment to the team and honored it. #commitment

Parents: Just because your son/daughter isn’t playing doesn’t mean the coach doesn’t like them. The coach actually invests a lot of time in them, including the team. They love them and want them to succeed. Coaches are concerned about the whole program, team and then the player.

@Joseph_Hayes11 @thetimesherald Shawn Sharrow is a great coach and is not about what you are reporting. You have reported a lot of outlandish stories in the past. The TH has had some great reporters in the past and the would be disappointed w/ some of your stories. Stop looking for shock value.
