Hey this is Krista Under16 girls div 3. last season i was in Jason Balfour's squad, I also went on his summer camp the best camp i have ever been on. Jason is the best coach in the world no matter what people say- yeah he might get mad and yell like hell but it's only for our benifit, he would never do anything unreasonable and always was looking for the best opportunety's for his players. So who ever is saying this sh*t about him being a cr*p coach or whatever i say you come and show your better. You guys are all talk and no action and that pisses me off. i am betting everyone who has sent in a complaint about Jason don't know him, and therefore have no right to be bad mouthing him! I think you should all get your own lives and stop b*tching about others because you have nothing in your own lives which is interesting- you may say who the hell am i?? Im only a kid, if ya are go get a job GEES!!! you seriously have nothing better to do?!?
Jason if yare reading this don't listen to anyone else writting sh*t we all still love you and will happilly accept you back as our coach all the best Krista.

All the best in whatever he does in the future, but I don't see anyone bad-mouthing him in this thread.

hey everyone im with krista jason balfour was a wik coach i play 14 1s and jason balfour was my coach until he got sacked now i dont no weather to move clubs or stay at tigers with a different coach but like krista said jason balfour was a really good coach he might hav got angry at some times and maybe even made u cry but the reason he does that is because he believes in his players and wants them to get something out of there lives. so everyone that has had jason as there coach or close anough u will no wat he is like so jason if u ever get read this all the player and some coachs at tigers miss ya so yea and i mite see ya around cause i mite be leavin tigers.

jason is very good at disguising his writing.A female, teenage voice, very creative indeed...

89 words or 6 lines of writing before a fullstop! Argh!
This is called a "run-on" sentence, and is an indication of poor writing skills, or unclear thoughts regarding the topic. F!

Krista, you're 14. You're posting on a public forum with your full name (which I have since removed). This is not a good idea and I suggest that you stop and talk to your parents about Internet safety.
On top of that, I don't really believe it's appropriate for a junior to be posting on an issue like this. Many coaches sensibly advise their under-age players not to post on Hoops SA.

Krista. I was actually atttempting a bit of humour..sorry I'll remember not to do it when over- sensitive teenage girls are reading the forum.
Oh yeah and in response to your question, I probably am a better human being than Jason yes...

Long time no talk every1. i say leave krista alone she has the right to speak her mind just like you guyz do no matter the age. Krista is one of my close friends.
acne every coach has there bad things and the good things if you focus on the bad things you are a bad coach but if you focus on the good thing you are a good coach think about it.
Like i said before every1 has there own opinon and can express it anyway they won't. Just because people are younger than you doesn't mean you can boss them let them speak there mind because they let you speak yours( most of its cr*p anyway).

So if you read tigergirls last post, is she actually on Krista's side or not? lol

interesting

acne, Interesting that you claim to be a better person than someone else.
The better person builds up others, oversees faults and is accepting and tolerant.
your claim says it all....... NOT
ps tigergirl great game two weeks ago... pity about last week....hey

tigergirl

Yeah i no last week was such a bad game we came out to cocky and thats wen we lost them but we will get then next time .
Thanks for your consideration.
and Pickles housemate i am on kristas side we stand up for who we blelive in and we belive Jason is a good coach but we r not saying that no1 is better then him or worse.
like i said coaches have there bad thing and there good thing and if you foucus on the bad your are a bad coach if you focus on the good thing your a good coach.

i wasn't aiming that last bit of my message to you pickels i was just repeating myself from my last message.
Oh and if anyone is thinking she is just a little girl in a big world is wrong i have grown up a little since my last epic in 2004.
Don't let this thread become a topic about me and insults towards me and my club.
OK.
Oh and interesting thanks for your support bout our game last week and the weel before

I think any junior coach who yells at and berates publically their players as well as embarassing them in front of team mates, parents and opposition by highlighting their mistakes, are not a good coach.

So, which district coach are you actually talking about who acts like you have described? Mesecke, Gliddon, Wallis....Would you like me to go on? You are saying that the actions of the State Coaching staff are wrong and dont get results?
You must be from Southern, with what they know about the State program. What coaches do they have at State or SASI?
I also note that you have been out-done by two 14 year old who at least have the balls to put their names to their opinions.

So BMG you do not have any balls because I do not see your name on the post.
And may I ask what Club your from so we can ask which coaches you have at SASI and State?

"Praise in public, berate out the back" is a motto I was told recently.
Anyway, Jason has moved on, surely us posters can?
