Queue Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Honaker head man Todd Tiller gets arrested on three suspected counts: DWI, simple assault, vandalism following a crash he was allegedly involved in. First and foremost, sad situation all around, on the basic human interest level. On the football focus level we do 'round here: For their sake, there's hopefully somebody else real good on that Tigers staff ready to step up -- otherwise, a potentially crushing blow for that program. Might only stumble a bit this year (if they stumble at all) -- but the long-term consequence of what I imagine will be an eventual firing is likely to be huge.

Union_Fan Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 The school system has lots of leeway here, but this incident isn't an automatic loss of coaching/teaching duties. I've seen this situation go lots of different ways over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 I think a termination has already taken place. I hope he gets the help he needs, and I hope Honaker gets their guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Mr Raven already stated that he's been shown the door, but being in a county vehicle or in any official capacity leaves them little choice. Now, I'm wondering about his "dismissal" from Ridgeview. Either way, it's a shame to waste that talent. He's clearly an innovative coach.

I believe officially its a suspension until board meeting next week. Unless he has resigned? Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXSW Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 This is sad! Sad for the man and the kids that it effects and really the whole community really. I have several family members who have fought addiction and all have overcame them but you have to fight like hell to do it! It is a shame that a person puts his need for drugs or alcohol ahead of the example he is trying to set, but it's an addiction and you can't fix it until you come to the end of yourself and start trusting and believing in things bigger than you! Faith can move mountains but it won't if you don't want to get better! Get better first and worry about football later! breckt, Dodgers, Unchained and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf1207 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 There’s a lot of posts here stating that he’s an alcoholic. That’s a lot of assumption. This may be as simple as he went out and did something stupid. I’m not condoning in any way that he allegedly did. As for the RV “dismissal” that doesn’t change my view on that. If what was alleged actually happened. But I have heard multiple stories about that. In the end, it would be in his best interests to resign. Take some time off and deal with the legal issues. After a couple of years, he could go to another school and start back at the bottom and work his way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a couple of years, he could go to another school and start back at the bottom and work his way up. I respectfully disagree. As someone who has donated thousands of hours in my life teaching recovery and helping those with addiction, we have radar on spotting addiction/alcoholism. By the way, i am nothing special. Part of my past time or literally a hobby has been teaching recovery for 15 years and I enjoy it. There are literally a couple of formulas out there that can quantify chances/stats with probability based on life events/behavior/what is to lose if a DUI occurred/age/what's to gain, etc that predict an addiction/alcohol/Substance Abuse or Use (SAD/SUD) Disorder Diagnosis. If this was his first time, then your statement is spot on and we can't know for sure and it can easily be chalked off to one stupid mistake or one stupid bad behavior, but..... When we are talking age above 40 with a high profile job in the community and Multiple Times and considering what is to lose if a DUI incident or alcohol incident occurred, the odds of being an alcoholic are approaching not 90 percent, but 100 percent. It's my understanding this is the 3rd DUI. One last thing that is a common misconception. According to addictionologists and the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) model, you do not have to drink alcohol daily to be an alcoholic. Binge drinking qualifies. For example, you only drink alcohol every 5 days and when you do, you drink a case of beer and pass out. That can be considered alcoholism if the drinking starts to effect social relationships, job, personality, etc. For the fact that his drinking has effected his job now on multiple occasions, that is one of the factors that actually goes into the diagnoses of addiction/alcoholism.

tbgfan Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Sad to hear. Prayers that Coach Tiller turns his life to his Creator. No personal accolades, no accomplishments fills the void that God does. He anchors us daily, not just on the mountain top, but in the valleys when people disappoint, situations rock our lives. I think there is already a great Richlands alum on the Tiger staff, that is worth considering, Shane Wicks. The upcoming players know him, he knows the system and he can bring continuity in this time. Prayers for all. 🐯🙏 Dodgers, Tru Blue72, Unchained and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
