The fact that they said their most successful coach in school history didn't develop talent is absolutely nonsense. Had their best records with him at the helm and made it to regional semifinals multiple times. Maybe they felt like they should've went further in the playoffs and just trying to get over that hump. But in my opinion they didn't have the all around talent and numbers to compete deep in the playoffs. Even when their teams had more talent than usual. For someone who didn't develop his players he didn't do too shabby; getting 19 players scholarships with multiple going D1. 

Alot of talented players started enrolling there as freshmen and were sticking around. So it makes sense now why all these players from there are transferring out to Cocoa, Eau Gallie and Rockledge. 

After the announcement they literally lost a quarter of their team.

Hooks is that dude!! I “hooked” him up with playing a California and Georgia team a while back. 
 

The game against the Cali team was epic. Holy Trinity was down 28-7 and stormed back to win 31-28! 
 

Holy Trinity went 6-3 that year and the Cali team went 12-2 and almost won state. That’s depth

I remember that game. Was amazing.

That's why I don't understand why they claim he didn't develop players. Hell one of the players he developed is a NFL veteran started for the New York Jets for years and just signed a deal with the Saints for this season. 

Marcus Maye. If it for him developing Marcus then Holy Trinity wouldn't have the athletic facility they have on campus now without putting down a bunch of money themselves or using taxpayer money.

    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
