Etiwanda baseball coach 'not airing our dirty laundry'

| 27 Comments |

For reasons that remain unknown, longtime Etiwanda High School baseball coach Shane Moses resigned his position prior to the Eagles' game with Claremont on April 22, one of two games he missed before returning to his post a week ago. Moses declined to comment on why he resigned or returned to Etiwanda.

"Every program has its issues," Moses said. "We choose not to air our dirty laundry."

Etiwanda athletic director Brice Sunderland did not return multiple messages seeking comment.

Enough already....just play the game, the kids know who to blame. There were no excuses this year!!!! we had a good team and our play showed it!!!, all of this is distracting to the School, Team, and Etiwanda Baseball Program. These Kids need to know it's up to them to make a difference (on the field), not PARENTS, they should start the YEAR and SEASON with a positive mind towards the School, Team and Program, don't except losing but if you do, LEARN from it, don't listen to your parents trying to help you look at someone else. Look in the mirror and work harder. The boy's in the PROGRAM are better then our record. Four years of your life will come soon, do something for the Program to make the memories GOOD.

Hey Anonymous ……be realistic there not going to let those people go!!!!

You sound like one of the complaining parents that are causing all the problems, and let’s say they do let everyone go…..who's your replacement?? The schools have no budget; give me three names that will turn the program around?

If you want everyone fired you should be accountable for the fix, I’m waiting……

same parents complaining are the same parents that destroyed fontana community little league ! you k said:

Hey Anonymous.....Unless you are an expert of the game, try to assume the coaches know more than you. Call it a difference of opinion instead of a travesty that requires a school board meeting.

Fontana Community Little League = Four consecutive Senior District Champs or further. Accomplished by the athletes from class of 2008 through 2011. This same group should have been contributing in CIF. Coaching or the kids? Eight years of losing..... Ill blame the coaching. Ill give you three names that can replace the DIRTY LAUNDRY...Manny, Moe and Curly. They would be far better than Shane, I have no credibility or integrity, Moses. This program isnt normal and hasnt been since Dirty Laundry arrived. Normalcy is exactly what this program needs. Not vindictiveness and intimidation, which is what Dirty Laundry is good at. It sure isnt mentoring or coaching. Congratulations to Arman Valenzuela...signed with Loyala Marymount class of 2010. He was smart enough to get away from Etiwanda Baseball after two years there.

Hey Anonymous.....I like your coaching Staff!!! I'm sure those guys can do it....

It sounded like you got your answer in the last sentence you wrote...GET AWAY FROM ETIWANDA BASEBALL. You should leave.....I don't think the coach IS.....Good luck next year, if your son is on the team, wish him good luck for me....Ps, I hope he can PITCH...were gonna need it!!!!

in response to just play ball.... The only thing distracting this programs success is the POOR Coaching at Etiwanda. There has been a tremendous amount of talent in that program. I never heard one athlete blame another for the failures at Etiwanda. The coaching staff are the failures. Here at Etiwanda and at Montclair where he came from. PROVEN FACT.....he has never had a successfull season. He is a poor choice and everyone knows. Believe me .... so does the Dirty Laundry. He is aware that he is lacking but needs the paycheck.

I cant believe you would say dont listen to your parents. Oh wait...I believe you would say that since your son was caught smoking weed with the rest of the team, at a party, at your house, that your son threw during the season. Doesnt suprise me from a cops son... they are usaully the worst example of a model person. Although I dont think Little Johnny is bad at all... I have no respect for you. Glad your gone.

Wow, naming names? If you're so upset with how the program is ran at Etiwanda, then just leave. If you're going to put someone's name on this then man up and write your own name instead of anonymous. You're only bringing the program down and that is the least that is needed here. It's horrible that someone would actually write down someone's name and make up a lie to make them look bad.

Sooo...Tired said:

Coach Moses has class. He chose "not to air out our dirty laundry" as he put it. The only thing wrong with the program at Etiwanda is that a few parents and I mean a few, that think their OPINION supercedes the knowlege of our coaching staff. It is disgusting that parents are allowed to degrade our coaches in to defending themselves from lies. Coaches schedule practices and games and help our boys in many ways as they grow into young men. Our jobs as parents is to teach our boys how to work hard as a team. If you think your child is not palying a desired position have him work harder, teach him the rewards come from hard work rather than complaining and being spiteful. Remember your child looks to you for an example on how to be a good, honest, fair person do your best you only get one chance.

If this doesn't help you, Leave the program we dont need the negativity or the embarrassment to our school! Some of us would like to enjoy the upcoming season.......

He is the Dirty Laundry. Its been aired for many years. The past players hate him and the current players are afraid of him. That is a FACT. It is not only a few parents that would like to see him gone. I recall a meeting with over 40 parents asking for his resignation. I also heard thier was a District meeting with over 30 parents. If he cared for any of the kids, past, present, or future, he would man up and leave. Good, honest,and fair kids have continually been punished by this man for several years. We would all like to see the negativity and embarrassment leave our school, but unfortunately he hasnt done so yet.

Our family would love to leave this program. We dont have an address to lie about nor would we. A 9 year losing record should be enough to hold him accountable. He is a poor example of success. By the way, Little Johnny is a figure of speech, but glad you could confirm the party for which that person was speaking. It happened, and it was the talk around school.

LIES.....The principle confirmed the accusations brought toward Moses as true. All ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED. Do I need to say it again. CONFIRMED. There is no level lower to degrade him to. Stop being selfish and dismiss him. He sucks all the way around and his record is evident of that.

Let's put this to REST!!!!!!! said:

For those of you who are not part of the Varsity Baseball Team at Etiwanda High School. Families of returning Varsity players have received a letter from Dr. Joseph (principal) stating they are in the process of hiring a new Varsity Baseball Coach.

Good or Bad for the above blogger's LET'S PUT THIS TO REST!!!!! who ever the new coach is let's welcome him with a Positive Attitude from the Players and Parents, let's get fired up and work hard for this season!!!! if you are a pitcher or think you can Pitch take care of your ARM were gonna need YOU!!!!, Pitching and Defense wins Championships, always has always will.....

Looking forward to the new year, hope the rest of you are.

Im looking for to a fantastic new beginning. What a great thing for Etiwanda High School. The Dirty Laundry is now at the Cleaners. GO EAGLES BASEBALL.

ONLY IF THERE KID WAS AN ALLSTAR and forget some of those kids that ever deserved a chance they never got it !!! YES I'M talking of FONTANA COMMUNITY !!! YOU GUYS GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kid was taken off all-stars by that president because i waas one of the people that called him out on funds missing. So the next year i got on the board and was one of many who tried to get him to admit to what he did. District71 head doug Morris and Alan Waston was in charge of that deal. That president was going to pay a sum of money to make it go away. It fell through because they saud there was no paper trail. So it was those two not anyone from are league that supported him. Know the facts If your kid didnt make all-stars it was because of a bad attitude or yourself.

NO PAPER TRAIL huh! said:

INSTEAD OF A MISSING PAPER TRAIL! HOW ABOUT A MISSING MONEY TRAIL THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT AMONGST THE COMMUNITY SINCE IT HAPPENED EVEN WITH THE SO CALLED CLOSE FRIENDS HE HAD IT STARTED TO LEAK OUT YOU,KNOW JET-SKI'S, KITCHENS, ETC AND THEN THE BIG DISAPPEARING-ACT,WOW YOU GUYS ARE HIPPACRITS!!! SO IF YOUR KIDS DIDNT MAKE ALL-STARS IT WAS REALLY BECAUSE YOU WERNT IN THAT GOOD-OLDBOY NETWORK! THAT HAS BEEN PREVELANT FOR YEARS IN FCLL.SO PLEASE DONT INSULT ME WITH A RIDICULOUS COMMENT LIKE THAT!
