Coaches
vs. Parents
High school coaches say dealing with parents has never been worse
Donnie Webb dwebb@syracuse.com

Some of the most successful high school coaches in Central New York are leaving in frustration or losing their jobs, in a new-
generation battle with helicopter parents and the chase for college scholarships. n Many more say they are considering quitting,
according to a survey of 227 coaches by The Post-Standard/syracuse.com. n Just this past school year, baseball coach Bob Weismore
left Westhill and girls lacrosse coach Doug Rowe left Baldwinsville apparently over behind-the-scenes entanglements with parents.
Weismore won 328 games and two state titles in 16 seasons at Westhill. Rowe won one state title and 362 games over 26 seasons in
Baldwinsville. n Jamesville-DeWitt boys basketball coach Bob McKenney was dismissed after the 2015 season over what he claimed was
a parent who wanted me fired. McKenney coached at J-D for 19 seasons and led the Red Rams to five state championships. n South
Jefferson girls basketball coach Pat Bassett, who led the Spartans to two state titles and five Final Fours, was forced out last fall after

parent complaints. More than 300 supporters signed a petition in support of Bassett to no avail. n SEE COACHES, A8

In our opinion. Its time for a reset. E2
