[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was no way for BSC to hire a woman of the same caliber as Shannon. Hence, the only option was to promote Colton. [/quote]

That doesn’t follow at all. For all her great accomplishments and what appears to be a nice personality, Shannon was not a good manager.  Theres no reason to assume she would be based on her playing and coaching resume. The TD job requires different skills. It makes a lot more sense to recruit a new girls TD who has been successful in that particular job than to throw in the towel and just put the same person in charge of both programs. [/quote]

Not a good manager?  Do you mean that she didn't get the coaches on the same page regarding training and player development - isn't that the only management job she had?  The truly poor club management at BSC (bad fields, inconsistent practice times, last minute notice) comes from the main office staff.[/quote]

I mean she brought several new coaches, friends and favorites from other places she’d been, who ranged from decent to complete nightmare. She supported them all to a fault, regardless of how they performed, and brushed off very legitimate complaints about the worst ones (and I know BSC has a lot of whiny parents, but I’m talking about situations where any reasonable person would have serious concerns with a coach’s behavior).  I believe her intentions were good and that she believes in the “girl power” message she preaches, but I expect Bethesda can really improve their coaching on the girl’s side going forward. [/quote]
