  • Theordore Whitmore: Indictment Unsealed

    The indictment against Theodore Whitmore (Tappa) is more an indictment against the Jamaican Football federation (JFF) and we the fans(stakeholders) . The indictment can be viewed as crimes tantamount to professional negligence. This deserves to be condemned by all concerned about the state of Jamaican football. There will be no rock unturned, no ground not examined, no cave to hide, no site or quarter to hide with the usual excuses as the indictment is carefully unsealed with intense examination. All will be on the table to be examined; the masks will be torn off, with the objective that all must ,and will answer, for whatever transgressions of negligence.

    Jamaica entered the 2019 Gold Cup with a squad of 23 players with two members of the squad currently playing in the Jamaican league (RSPL). These are Ricardo Morris and Tyreek Magee. Ricardo Morris came on as a sub against El Salvador and started in the Curacao game. The rest of the team compromised of professional players who play in the Europe , MLS and USL. This is important to note because in both these leagues they have adopted the European guidelines of best practices in coaching education. This means in order to coach a professional team you are required to have an A license (Lic) or Pro License, also it will be looked at in regard to it being a deficit in Tappa and his assistant’s preparation for this gold cup.

    The most glaring issue noticed by the pundits, was our disjointed play in the midfield and how they were bypassed, therefore leaving our forward line on their own to create their own chances or in most instances chasing the ball. From what I observed these players fought for every ball and chased every ball; we failed in passing the ball from the midfield to attack. In other words, no fluidity in our play, most of the plays were from the defense to the attack by an air route. I attribute this to a lack of chemistry displayed by the ignorance of Tappa. As you will see below in contrast to the USA consistency, our team changed 33 to 40 % every game , that’s 3 to 4 players with the bulk of it coming from the midfield and forward line. In fact, the only time the defense changed was after Lowe had to sit out the semifinal game because of an accumulation of yellow cards. Of note the contrast is also noted in the Mexican team, who kept the same defense and forward line for the first two games, thereby resting most of its squad for the dead rubber third match, but still using the same forward line. The consistency continued to the final where the starting 11 for Mexico in the final had 4 changes compared to its first game. They were 1 in the forward line 2 in midfield and 1 in defense. I suspect cards or injuries and tactical adjustments played a role in that, more than any intentional professional negligence as it was in Jamaica’s case. Below is the starting 11 contrast with the USA.

    This is poorly written. This opinionated piece meanders from Tappa to JFF to fans to pundits. Where is the thesis statement (with supporting arguments)? Where are your citations (since you have never played or coached at the INT'L level)? In the USA one has little time to go through "mumbo jumbo". One needs to know what you are talking about.

            OJ to sum it up, your regurgitation of my opinions, that Tappa did not know his best 11,the team was not fluid and its was down to personnel was addressed in more detail.

            Jawge your dismissal was expected.

              Oh so you deliberately wrote it poorly, knowing that I would dismiss it? Use the MLA method I gave you to do one on the Girlz coach (thanks).

                      but x that might be true but it dont mean we fire the coach.. it means you identify the problems and you fix it.

                        That is true OJ, I suggested we upgrade their knowledge to a certain standard of best practices in the article.

                          You can upgrade his knowledge and he does the same damn thing.
                          Smart people know how to delegate and work on their part of the equation.

                          Atlanta falcons head coach made a decision earlier this year to fire all his TDs. H wanted to concentrate on his defense (he is a specialist there). He is workig on his strong set and let other people do their jobs. Football is different but the fact is you get smart heads to help develop a fluient attack.

                            If Tappa and his assistants needs help to figure out the basic, of picking his best 11 and consistently using them as his starting 11,he needs to be fired.

The course develops candidates' ability to devise, organize, conduct and evaluate coaching sessions in advanced skills, tactics, strategies and systems of play. It will also give an understanding of how to apply modern methods for sports science and sports medicine.

                              What is the best 11? There is no such thing. You best 11 on paper but ...

                              You are very naive when it goes to ball business. That is all I can say.
