Case: Basketball Team When the high school principal first offered me the job, he said that my main role would be coaching the basketball team. He told me that his school's basketball team had not been doing well, and this year was the first year in a long time that the team has a collection of very good players. He said multiple times that he wanted championship at least at the county level. I had coached basketball teams before and enjoyed many championships. My first meeting went very well with the players; it was a nice group of students from variety of backgrounds. Players worked very hard in the practice meetings. Two weeks before the matches began the team players found out that one of their teammates, David, was gay. They immediately started isolating David in the practice games. The team sent a representative to tell me that they did not want David in the team and that if he is not removed, they would sabotage the games. David was one of my best players, and without him it would be very difficult to win the championship. Plus, I thought it was unfair to David that he would have to leave the team because he was gay. I did not have a problem with him being gay. Things got more complicated for me when the principal asked me to remove David from the team. I disagree with the principal, but I do not know what to do. Please offer a solution with a justification. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I will call a team meeting since it is an issue concerning the entire team. I would tell them that there is no way that I can cut him from the team. "Furthermore, David is my best player which is probably the reason you all want him off." Before they would attempt to sabotage the game, I will see about having them remove instantly from my team. One or two negative attitudes will filter down upon the rest of the team to prejudice their opinion or decision about David. As a coach, will defintely fight for David to remain on the team. The however, the principal stated that they as a team have not been doing well and that this is the first year that they had quality players, I might add. Evidently he is not trying or do not want a championship. David worked hard in order to obtain a spot on the team just like everyone else. What if David was not gay and a mediocre player? The Bible speak of going after one lost sheep. I cannot remove David from the team nor will I quit. I will fight every step of the way. No Discriminating!I will be looking at removing other players from my team especially after they about mentioning sabotaging. There are more athlets in the school system that will step in and salvage the season. Who knows!!? Championship. |
