That was my point. Having a conversation is not equal to having input. It is only input if the conversation has an impact on the decision which follows.

Also, your second statement is laughable. You must have never been involved in a lawsuit or the law at all to believe that a court's ruling, or a lawsuit not winning equals everything was "satisfactory in the eyes of the law". Not sure what this is supposed to mean. |

I still worked plenty of games. I was in a position where I was working a good lower-level college schedule as well as for two different D1 supervisors at the time. That was one of the reasons that I was able to put my name on a lawsuit. It was not a surprise that the leadership manipulated schedules -- that's why the majority of the organization just went along with it ... most are too scared to stick their neck out and put their name on the line, knowing that there will be payback. Quote:
It was not the president's place to "take care" of anyone as it relates to scheduling games in an organization with well over 500 members. The president is not in charge of scheduling. However, he used his influence and intimidation with members to get his way ... like a petulant child, rather than dealing with things like a rational adult. |

Tony Timmons - UIL - YouTube A really funny part of the video is when James Batiste walks up to Tony Timmons and whispers in his ear that he is being videotaped. Really shows Batiste's mindset -- he did and still does a lot of stuff in secrecy. And, BTW, I was the one videoing it from my phone ... not for any nefarious reasons either -- a couple of my friends weren't able to make the meeting and I wanted them to be able to see and hear for themselves what Tony said. Many of his statements were entered into TASO's lawsuit against the UIL (which is still ongoing I believe) ... That's what happens when you shoot off at the hip and act like such a big shot. In Texas we have a phrase for people like that: All hat and no cattle! |

And this is why organizations should get away from assigning and let a conference to schools do it themselves. If someone does not like you or treat you fair, you can go elsewhere.
Again that is why I am blessed to be in our system. It might not be perfect, but I can work in many places. Peace
