Congrats to all - these boys did an outstanding job!!!!

First off to Jsmity - No - I'm not a parent of any of the players! Just an out-of-state bystander that happened to be around for some of the games and MANY of Buffamonte's shenanigans!! He refused to show his players any respect, in fact thrived in undermining building any confidence that they need in probably the most influential part of their growing lives. Yet he demanded respect from them. You are not given respect...... YOU EARN IT.... Buffamonte let the Athletic Director know EARLY?!?! - that would be the same AD that is retiring this year and doesn't give a rat's patootie what happens??? Thank God all coaches with expectant wives don't quit the job they have wanted since they were 2 years old to be with their wife for their first child - we wouldn't even have sports then...... if his dad truly is sick - I wish his father well, but knowing of his father and his reputation - seems he would want his son to continue his life long dream.....

Buffamonte steps down because of the parents??? That's ridiculous. Why don't you check into why Buffamonte has only spent 1 year at all of the other coaching jobs he has had? Reckon he blames the parents at those schools too? I went to several of Lumberton's games and he was always more concerned about what was going on IN THE STANDS then what was happening on the FIELD!! He had a lot of great talent that it looked like he was "punishing" for his lack of ever having their abilities. I think that it is not a major loss for Lumberton - just a loss for the seniors that he didn't utilize to their advantage.
