Has anybody heard when Bailey is thinking about retiring? Hopefully not for a while, he puts on a great show and is a great coach.

Thats what I had heard myself, but being that I never went to that school, I cant give you a solid answer on that.

The Terror Dome..... even the name is scary! It wasn't as bad last year though because they put lights in that lit the place up a little better. Before that, it was like going into a dungeon.

I believe it is the policy if you're retire from teaching you can only be able to coach one sport(basketball) so i guess he is just technically the assistant golf coach.

No such policy exists anymore. DB is the head basketball, track, and golf coach.

About a year ago state law was passed and signed by our governor allowing retired teachers to continue coaching...prior to that it was a problem with the retirment system and they were not allowed unless in case of an emergency or some people got around it by the booster clubs paying head coaches salary (questionably legal).

Bailey had to be the assistant golf coach because based on Tussey's teachers contract (similar to Everett's) professional staff has first rights on coaching positions and several at Tussey applied. There was some controversy but the end result was Bailey's assistant Basketball coach was hired "in name" to be the head golf coach and Bailey as the assistant but everyone knows that was to beat the system and Bailey was truly the head coach.
