[Uncle Fester]

Coach Ratliff is a really good coach, at least he cared enough about the team to take the job when F.D. Johnson couldn't find anybody else to take it.....Some of the boys have improved since last year. Just because they have lost a lot of games doesn't make the coach bad..or any one player bad....he can't go out there and play for them......there are some people on the team who give up after the 3rd inning...and then you have players that give 110% through the whole thing.....then you have some that just quit the team...or don't care enough about the game becasue it isn't basketball....

A really good coach based on what?

They could have dug up somebody else besides him. He don't even have anything to do with the school!

Its up to the coach to keep his team under control, and it is his fault that he gets no respect. He shows no authority and any knowledge of baseball, so it is very difficult for the players to look up to him at all.
