Paske resigns post at Greene
GREENE - After 10 years as head coach of Greene’s football team, Tim Paske announced his resignation from the post late last week.
During his tenure, Paske guided the Trojans to four playoff appearances, two Section IV title games, multiple division titles, and eight straight winning seasons. After starting with a 5-13 record his first two seasons, Paske’s teams went 54-20 over the last eight with four postseason appearances. The Trojans’ 59 wins during Paske’s tenure are the most of any Chenango County team.
“This was a really difficult decision, and I’ve talked it over with my wife (Chris) many, many times,” Paske said Monday.
Paske has four children between the ages of 3 and 11, and cited the desire to spend more time with his family as the primary reason for stepping down. Paske also said his personal health was also a weighing concern. Three years ago, Paske had spinal fusion surgery to alleviate persistent pain in his neck. The surgery was a success, but he still deals with pain on a regular basis. “You only get a chance to see your kids grow up once, and three of them are playing sports now,” Paske said. “Doing the job the way I want to do it, that takes a lot of time away from your family. My wife has been very supportive and understanding over the years.”
This past season, Paske was suspended by Greene’s administration for week seven’s game against Whitney Point. Due to personnel confidentiality rules, the school district did not disclose a reason for Paske’s suspension. Paske was immediately reinstated the following week, and he led the Trojans to a 12-7 victory over Norwich.
“I know a lot of people probably think I resigned because of what happened last season,” Paske said. “That could not be further from the truth.”
Paske said his toughest moment last week was when he told current football team members that he was no longer coaching the team. “The great thing about team sports is the life-long relationships you build with the kids,” Paske said. “I’ve had the pleasure to coach so many great kids, and it will be tough not being on the sidelines next year. But hey, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still be there at their games and to open up the weight room.”
While he is stepping away from coaching for at least this coming year, Paske did not close the door completely on a return to coaching. “I tell the kids all the time, when one door closes, another one opens up,” he said.
