Njcaa nationals

Funny you say that he's told us many times his father went to OSU on baseball scholarship but did join a frat and ended up leaving or flunking out. Vince played baseball all through his youth but moved to HS that didn't have anything. My time there he got into the cage during one of baseball practice after the coach asked if he wanted some and hit BP. To everybody's surprise he was connecting once he got the timing down. Bat speed and technique was better then most players said the coach. He'll kill me for this one but when his arm gets tired during dodge ball at his XC camp he has been known to spray his fingertips with 2nd skin spray so he can get the ball to drop. Sorry coach your secrets exposed!!!

Great commentary.

Now back to the fight.

Kyle Masterson Martin vs The Dude.

Video!!

It is a well known fact that there are some ADs who Vince was not afraid to stand up to and there are some coachs that are willing to run and give dirt to them not just about Vince but a few others also Vinces is just on the top of the list and I would say his honesty and lack of fear to stand up with voice makes some nervous and probably should. Vince wrong in texas yes very FOR pushing not fighting wasnt even close. Saying he can not handle a loss a HUGE LIE. Read one of his press releases last year he discussed how proud he was of his girls they ran the best they had all season and he was very excited and couldnt be prouder goes on to say cowley girls beat his and they deserved it at the end of the day there are teams that are just faster and better. Johnson County coach rocked DeGrado in cc a few years ago DeGrado was seen smiling laughing joking with everyone afterwards. He may seem he is a real ahole just as others have said but is one of the single best most honest and loyal people I have ever been around and has more passion for this sport does it with honesty and hard work and he did make a noname school known. He is in the wrong region and has had some vultures circling since he stood up to them.

Allen coach cant leave I have one more year and his small cc meet was my favorite and Im looking forward to next year. Dude they have home cooked food for all the teams...its the best his wife mother in law and some other community members/friends not sure but you could smell them grilling food while you ran than had fresh fruit bake beans the whole nine yards and all the teams sit eat and hang out. Then anything left they give out for bus rides home. Thats bs if that goes it starts the season on a fun note....total cr#p!

Yep I would help DeGrado set up that meet. He barely charged entry fee and only $25 per gender per school to eat because his exact words "schools don't give a f#@k about our sport and most budgets are crap compared to other ball sports ill help them save money best I can" always wanted to make meet care free and fun. He's always been anti-establishment win one for the underdog which is why he turned the Butler CC job down twice. First time in 2013 because he had kids who followed him from Cowley so the loyalty kept him there 1st time. We all thought we were going to transfer with him the 2nd time but he said it seemed too fake and political. Good luck man hope you're around next fall.

DeGrado will fight for the better of the sport. Coachs meeting when trying to pay dues found out the treasure no longer handled money or balances. Did not go sneaking saying quietly causing speculation. In front of everyone said who is responsible for our money why do we not know how much we have and where are the checks and balances that should be in place. A explantion letting us know our conferences now over see the money was given so it was explained and than DeGrado said at the next meeting we need to discuss a way to work together so that we can get the treasure statenents so we know where finicials stand. All was upfront, explained, and resolution was made. He could of caused other to start speculating and rumors start flying but didnt addressed it out loud and for all to witness. Hope Netflix does a sequel with DeGrado even more dirt will surface on region 6 and why he has a colt after him.

DeGrado f#$ck×d up big we all know it and almost all of us have gotten into at sporting events DeGrado just became the poster child for what could happen and taught all of a lesson. We also know DeGrado is a dang huge piece to holding region 6 to a standard and he works to better our sport. Texas incident has several beaming with smiles hell those dirty AD their sidekicks probably sent TS coach flowers. Not DeGrado who is up a creek open your eyes its our sport which will get over ran with those who think they can strong arm others to get what they want they no longer have the loud italian asking why or calling bs on them. Just saying we are going to feel the ripple from this and than other regions will to.

Hard not to disagree with your statement above but he's at a school that has traditionally been bottom half of everything. Some sports have shown improvement but nothing to the level of what DeGrado done. His 4 or 5yrs at Cowley already got him nominated for their Half of Fame. He and his family have been involved in that community for so long I don't see Allen wanting to lose a proven winner over a push. Punish him this year but don't punish him for the rest of his life and ruin something that's seen more positive then negative.

You are so right DeGrado is the first stability as far as postive goes for Allen but also agree with post on AD he doesnt truly have one and defiently not one who would ever speak up. Just not a athletic driven AD or you would see more success from other sports at Allen. It will be sad but my guess with the lack of support it that program will suffer.

had to check this out after hearing about from a cc coach...glad basketball has technicals your sport takes that technical to a whole new level coachs going to jail for pushing and than everyone speculating over a ruined career loss of a job??? You really have no procedure to get coachs to stop and think during a sporting event not even red cards nothing? Just you push someone or cuss them out its jail and job? No one sees that as a problem or over the top for a college sport?

All sports in the NJCAA have to follow the same rules. First act of violance in season the are to be removed from venue and sit out tge next game/event second act of violance in season removed and 2 games etc and indoor track and outdoor track count as two different seasons. So if we read the code of conduct and ethics rule book should be pretty straight forward as to what will happen but this coach called out the wrong people in the past...so I guess the rule book may get thrown out the window on this one.

Damn just read all of these, I don't know what to think. Doesn't help when their sport is full of vaginas. Vince needs to bring his a$$ over to the gridiron I could use a conditioning coach like that. Maybe I'll let our real AD know when he's available to give him a call. Sure glad Bryce keeps his butt in that press box, he isn't going to mess with us football coaches like that. If one of the coaches called the police after getting pushed down by another coach they wouldn't be allowed anywhere near our sport again automatic man card removal. My advice leave this man alone he's already dealing with the law, get the other coach some form a milk and go on about your business.

last two comments sum the whole situation up. Funny you mention Bryce and press box thats where it all started know for a fact Bryce Hutchs AD and asst AD where in there talking about how and what they where going to do and say to Vince and how they where going to shut him down. Three on One and Vince had no one they litterly surrounded him and he still stood up to them and called it all out. Allen AD will not do anything new Vince was about to get thrown to the wolves and didnt have the guts to warn him even let his coach get attacked...also a known fact

Seen first hand athletes from Vince and they are tough as f%#k. DeGrado would make a damn good strengths coach. DeGrado time to say goodbye to this sh!t and join a sport that can handle alot more than a push.

Guess you're right, no jail time for him.

Sad but true Jail and Job is how it looks. Our AD came back from a meeting in shock over Allen AD said when others asked him he managed to tie the not to hang DeGrado with. Just went on how they where taking extreme actions to handle it...wtf more extreme than what the dudes already delt with in Texas and to just let the one person bringing home one award after another get taken out and the AD handed him over. I respect the hell out of DeGrado and hope he bounces I know a few others are waiting for the chance to discuss job offers with him. Give that school the double f $ you fingers we saw in the video when you walked away from Becker DeGrado your to good of a person and coach to deal with this crap alone.

Cheerleading just became more of a sport to me than these fools...can not believe they can ruin a coach over a push and in COLLEGE ATHLETICS my daughters softball team gets in worse fights. I second 2nd man card revoked

I ran for DeGrado in his earlier years so hearing these posts really hurts, he's done nothing but sacrificed himself and time with his family for that school and his athletes. He's not being punished for the incident, he's being punished for the years prior to this incident because he's loud and has an edge, and has managed to rub too many people the wrong way. Instead of refocusing him you hang him out to dry when he messes up. I know he's embarrassed over this and will accept any punish that doesn't seem unfair and by the book. But damn he spent 15hours in holding due to how the process in Texas worked. Told me he was able to convince the Sargent to let him call his assistant just to tell him to leave without him and explain the steps for making sure the kids eat and that he'll figure a way to get home. Was only able to speak to his wife for like 2min the whole time. Allen's AD should be ashamed of himself, an AD with a record like his men's soccer teams has had a free pass for many years I just looked up their past seasons records its not good. From what he's said Vince's the one that fundraises for the Championship rings even going as far to take a hit himself. If anything Allen should be protecting him as much as possible, you have a Hall of Fame coach who hasn't even hit the peak of his career and has shown no signs of declining. He messed up, not excusing what he did, that was down right stupid due to track/cross country being pussies all around but follow the damn by-laws by which ADs claim to be about. I hope Vince has some smart people by his side which knowing him he probably does. Go after everybody that throwing rocks and expose Region 6 for how shady it is or they'll never learn and do it to somebody else.

Ouch, that one's got to hurt track and field man. Alright how about the two people involved figure a way to talk it out like adults. Have a drink, Vince you already know you're buying, sorry man but you should not have pushed him. Now these damn ADs and whoever else is trying to take away a voice from out sport lost their leg that they were standing up on. Not sure how the law works but just a random thought.
