Well Craig you got your wish. I've done all the pot stirring I can according to you. Thanks for getting all defensive and giving a simple question WAY too much drama. My simple question even elicited a swear word. But sleep well knowing you won't see me post again. Have fun at practice and no I won't be there.

[quote author=sball812 link=topic=84537.msg1013833#msg1013833 date=1306262512] Since this is the place i get 99% of my select softball info, i figured i would post this question to see if i can get some info.  I heard a certain female coach (who would have a daughter on the team) from the PN area is starting a 10U team under the GT Shockers banner and would be pulling over half of her players from the current Mojo roster.  Has anyone else heard this?  If this is true, it seems to me Mojo would not be a team anymore.  Hopefully, the Mo-Jo coaches don't get suprised by this. [/quote Please re-read my previous question and tell me where anyone was degraded? And for your statement of anyone "telling on them...as if anyone cared", do you think the mojo coaches care that there may be talks of starting another team behind their back?  My thought is they would love to know if they show up one day with not enough to fill the infield. That's all that was asked. 

[quote name="hottestbats" post="1014077" timestamp="1306345378"] [b][color=red]  I really think a simple question is going in the wrong direction[/color][/b]. I don't know the people that are going but I'm sure they have a very good reason. I also know that as a coach I would like a little bit of a warning that I would be losing half of my team and so would you. Craig is a pretty easy guy to talk to and it would give him time during All -Stars to do some recruiting. Most of the talk that I hear about the female coach is that she is very shady and will stick it to you in the end. We have played against her teams in 6u and 8u for almost 20 years. And I always hear the stories and they never end good. And it looks like the joint venture that Craig and his parents ventured into with PNG is not going to end good. I've always heard good things about the Shockers, hopefully people continue to hear good things. I hope everything goes well for both organizations and their families. In the end my friends from Nederland will be better off. I'm glad we were on teams that never had many problems. But it was a different time and era, I guess. [/quote] You hit the nail on the head.  I am not indicting the GT Shockers orginization at all.  I have never had any dealings with any of those people so why would i come on here and bash the entire group for no reason.  Craig S, you are defending your orginization and i applaud that.  I'm questioning the move of a coach splitting from a team and starting a new team under any banner, then taking players from an existing team, without letting the coach of the existing team know she was taking his players.  It's classless and the other girls on the team don't deserve to be left flapping in the breeze. 

Are you seeking info OR are you really trying to give incomplete info.... GT Shockers is known for having open practices, at any given practice we will have 4-5 players (besides the players you are referencing) of all ages practicing with our teams. Not sure why it bothers you that kids (parents) seek more for their daughters.....please feel free to attend our practice any time....we practice at West Brook on Tues and Thur @ 6pm.....and on Sat when arent playing from 9am til 3pm. I encourage my players to practice or play with other teams when we arent....just this past weekend one of our pitchers and starting SS picked up with Beaumont Blast in a tourn in Lake Charles.....We had another player pickup with a team in Houston 2 weeks ago....guess what, she felt that team was a better fit.....she quit and joined that team.....whereas I dont condone switching teams in the middle of the season, her parents felt that was a better situation for her.....from that stand point that is what EVERY parent should be doing, looking for the BEST situation for their child. Ive had several parents call me this season to join our team NOW, they were currently playing for a team. I explained we would not pick them up in the middle of the season, they needed to try to finish the season with their current team......they chose to quit (for reasons they felt was necessary) they do practice with us to keep their skills up, however I will not put a uniform on them until the Fall season. So rather than looking for 99% of your softball info (with all of 2 post) in a public forum, wouldnt it be better that you discus this with the people involved.......it seems communication works best. Then again, maybe its that you were trying to GIVE info, rather than GET info. [/quote] I'm not giving info, i am looking for info. I was posting what i had heard and asking the question "has anyone else heard this".   One girl quitting a team and going to another for whatever reason is quite a bit different than a person taking half the girls from one team and starting another team for another orginization.  Especially if it is being done "under the table".  

[quote name="hottestbats" post="1013869" timestamp="1306268128"] That has been the rumor lately. We heard about it at practice last week. I didn't hear about their pitcher going with them. She is the one who does all of their hitting and she is the pitcher. They had a pretty good thing going. [b]If Craig don't know about it[/b], he will shortly! Hopefully, they had a little class and let him know what is going on. Supposedly some of the girl's have already went to a few of the 12u Shocker practices. [/quote] If this is true and Craig doesn't know, that is total bush league and a complete lack of class by the new coach.
