    Stick with the small school ball talk.  You have no idea what you are talking about.   Jags may not be doing as good as I would expect them to do, but rest assure, they will make the playoffs.  Unlike the small school H-J, We have 4 teams from each district that makes the playoffs.  (but I'm sure you already knew that   ::) ::) )

    Why would you be proud of the fact that 4A lets 4 teams into the playoffs.  That just places less importance on district games.  Why not let everyone in and everyone can be proud and feel good about themselves.  It just makes making the playoffs less important when you allow more teams in.
  2. I imagine it is in someway related to money.  The state is making major cuts and this next year will be even worse.  They are talking about making all small schools consilidate or having a superintendant for the county instead of one at each school and they are not hiring as many teachers and coaches.  All part of the economy.  Gas is also suppossed to get to 5 dollars before too long.

    You evidentally dont understand the control of tempo of game or style one team plays and matchups.  Yall are ranked 17 in the state and CH 23, so I would say it would be a good game.  I can promise you, it would be a different game than yall are used to, it would not be in the 70's nor 80 like Crockett allowed it to get.  We can argue back and forth but I say we just wait and see until the playoffs get here.
  4. Lt Dangle, sorry to raise your hair.  I dont officiate anymore, but I have in the past.  
    My statement is clear and to the point, officials should have an accountability system.  It does not take much to become a certified official.  A few classes and a test.  Basically like getting certifed in CPR.  What is aggrevating is that with limited credintials and no one holding them accountable they can control the game the way they want.  I do not no one officials in the state who puts as much time and effort into officiating as a coach does into teaching his team to play the game.  Yet, they can come in and decide the game and do and say what ever they want to a coach and he cant say anything back or they sit him down.  It isnt right, there should be an accountability system.  I dont understand your statement about "no contact meaning little contact".  You will have to explain that to me. Please do, I would like to know what you are talking about.
    On the side of officials, do some do a good job, you bet they do, but for the most part it is one of the weakest parts of the game at the time. And i sent you a PM too.

    AAW, they want to know the foul count so they can even it up in the second half or either give the team they have a hidden agenda for a bigger advantage.

    Well, yea, I do understand that. I just wanted to know the "technical" point of it.

    AAW, I knew you knew I was just furthering the comment.
  6. Look, for the most part officiating is terrible.  They have no accountability system.  They can call the shots and do as the choose and please without worrying about anything happening.  This has been a problem for a while.  Not all are this way, some do a very good job. 
    But if a guy can take a few classes and come into a game and change the outcome of a game for his own likings compared to a coach who first has to go to school for 4 years to get a degree, then take another 30 hours on top of the degree to teach.  Take the appropriate tests.  Take all the CDl, CPR and ect test to coach and then spend tireless days and nights preparing his team to play basketballl the right way and in comes some guy off the street and can over turn that.  It is not right, spin it however you want. 
  7. I would be hesitant to compare any HS program to a college one.  Simple because one program recruits and the other (for the most part) dosent recruit.  I you are going to say that one school is like any Calapri team that blankets a lot of schools, same for HS that have won titles.  There are alot of programs out there that have won titles.  Ponder reminds me most of Duke, where ever Coach Boxell went he won.  He is a heck of coach, he would be on my top list of coaches.  I was glad and saddened to see him go from HS to college.  I know it was a great step for him, but it was a blow to the coaching community.  He was probably the most revered coach in the State.  I have looked and looked for game tapes with him and his teams, I have one, I tried to order some state tournament games but they told me they were sold out.  If anyone knows where I can get some tapes and make a copy of Ponder or Sanger playing when he was  there let me know.  If anyone has some HJ tapes, I would like to copy them as well.
