All sorts of college coaches read VT. There's good info here and its available faster here than IRL. I'll be surprised if coaches did NOT read this forum. Yes, there are plenty of trashy posts on here, but there are also nuggets of pretty useful information. It is for the indivudual to decide, whether they are a coach, athlete or parent, the value of the post they read on here. The moment you believe as a coach that you have nothing more to learn, then you're about to be passed intellectually by other coaches that are students of the game....in any profession you need to be a lifelong learner... If you have 30 years of experience as a coach, but haven't adapted in 25 years, guess what, in my book you have 5 years of experience... Sorry, very off topic, but felt an appropriate spin off |

I find it very sad that a college volleyball coach feels the need to defend himself on this forum. Or even reads this forum at all for that matter. If that’s where you are in your career then maybe you shouldn’t be coaching. I think any coach or player who reads this forum will realize nobody here knows anything about volleyball. |

Hello, This is Chuck. As I sit here a read these comments as well as others on other social media platforms it shocks me how people can say things about a person that they’ve never met. There were many allegations made against me… Many or false! For example, the player who passed out… What the allegation does not tell you is that our trainer verified that she did not pass out and in roughly 3 minutes from the time she fell down she was back on her feet and wanting to run the last sprint on her own accord. No one threw up! So what actually happened? 1. I did drop the F bomb over the course of six matches in two years. I deeply regret this because it is not in my nature to use profanity. I rarely curse in my personal life. There’s no excuse for it I was wrong. 2. I did run the team after our loss. This was also wrong! Definitely a bad judgment call and something I regret. I ran the team on September 14… They did not run nor did I cuss the remainder of the year and even to this day. Players and families and yes coaches get caught up in the emotion of athletics. Sometimes those emotions get the best of us, it got the best to me a few times. But I’ve never kicked open a door or furniture! I did not even kick balls in practice! I will fully admit to what I did wrong but I will stand my ground against the lies and half truths that were told. Many of you know me and know that my integrity and character have been without question all my years as a coach. I have broken one rule in my entire coaching career and that was when I ran the team. I’ve never been accused of any wrongdoing at any point in my career. Unfortunately in this situation allegations were made and because of certain factors those untrue allegations were left in the report even though I have physical proof and Many witnesses that can attest to this fact. My cell number is 615-995-5108. Rather than take cheap shots at me I would rather you just called me. I will be more than happy to discuss any questions that you have. Please remember a few things... All of us have a responsibility to grow and build kids up. I did lose sight of that for a brief moment as I was so focused on winning and Deeply regret it which is why I still have the head coach at MTSU. If the allegations were true I would’ve already been fired! Also remember… That every coach regardless of sport is only one recruit away for being in the same situation in regards to the lies and false accusations made about them. I pray that everyone who is reading this will learn from my mistakes/poor choices and does not repeat what I did. Kind regards, Chuck As a former player for Chuck, I feel like I have a right to speak on this topic. Chuck is an awesome coach. He is very tough, but that’s because he sets high standards. He is the best coach I’ve ever played for and I respect his coaching. He is hard when needed because he cares. He wants you to be better and help you reach your full potential. Never once did I ever feel threatened, belittled, or whatever else was stated in the report. If anything, I felt like he respected me and wanted the best for me. Yes, he was tough, but that’s because he knew we could do better. Yes, he got frustrated, but what coach doesn’t? No one likes to lose and if you’re okay with losing then you shouldn’t be playing a division 1 sport or a sport at all. He never once threw things at players or almost hit players. He yelled, yes, but he never directly cussed at a player. His cussing wasn’t anything an athlete has never experienced before. It is a normal habit of any coach I’ve ever played for and I would never take offense to it. We deserved for him to call us out so we knew that we weren’t doing our jobs. That’s what a coach does!! He never once got mad if we played hard and lost. He only got mad when we gave up and didn’t give it our all. He didn’t tolerate giving up, which is understandable because not only does that help you in volleyball, that helps build your character, too. The only mistake he made was running the team after a loss, which he did not realize was a violation. He apologized and didn’t do it again. How is a coach supposed to coach if he can’t tell a player what they’re doing wrong without them crying? Which has happened. |

How is a coach supposed to coach if he can’t tell a player what they’re doing wrong without them crying? Which has happened. The allegations were regarding his actions toward the team this season. You stated you're a former player of his, so I'm guessing you weren't in the gym this season? Thus, I'm not sure how this is related to the current allegations. I'm guessing many of Chuck's athletes share your sentiments. There's not really a way to use these statements to 'make up' for any other behavior, though. My neighbor growing up always had dogs, and the dogs were happy and loved. The same neighbor shot one of his own dogs, in city limits, with a shotgun. He only got the leg, and the dog survived after surgery. I never once thought, "now is my time to step in and talk about all the happy dogs he's had before." |

How on earth can this team function after the coach accused the players of lying? He used the word “false”, but same meaning, IMO. Forgive and forget I guess?

I believe in 2nd chances as long as the 1st offense wasn't too egregious AND the offender owns up to his/her mistakes. In other words, no denial.
I can sympathize with the onerous rules and regulations that every coach may not know due to time constraints and recent additions. But coaches have a responsibility to know the general scope of the rules and specifically those that affect the physical and mental health of their teams. Unfortunately in today's litigious society, the stakes are very high if rules are ignored or blatantly disobeyed.
