Remove varsity basketball coach, Tory Vansickle
Tory Vansickle has had a losing seasons since he inherited the girls from the 2009/10 team. He uses inappropriate language with the players at practice, makes degrading remarks about the players on the floor, to the players on the bench. Some examples are name calling like fat, stupid, or they suck. If anything is said to him from a parent he then takes it out on their kid.
He has been known to cry in the locker room. His behavior is unbecoming of a leader and role model for our student athletes. Our girls need someone with strong character and values. The outcome from him coaching at Addison has resulted in many athletes to quit, not play at all, or just be miserable on his team. For the Love of Basketball please remove Tory Vansickle from coaching Varsity Girls Basketball.
Thanks,
Parents and Players

Why is this important?
My older daughters, Shaneh and Cheyenne, were affected by their coach Tory Vansickle. They had so much negativity thrown at them they never went on to play college basketball. I have seen him do this to so many good athletes at our school and now it is affecting my youngest daughter Kelsey who doesn't want to play basketball anymore since his summer program.
