-Don’t talk about coaching changes or the thread will get closed, but keep on attacking Coach King, his family, and his ethics and that’s okay. What a joke. Not getting my $$$$. -Donnie, Kevin Allen told me this week you’ll see the panthers in a lot of spread this year, maybe I’m not as dumb as I look. Not many one trick pony’s play in Lucas Oil. I think Brad would agree, guess we will see if I’m right huh. I’m not sure if they have a true spread guy leading that portion of their offense or maybe they are just getting the box opened up to run the ball more effectively? Make all the jokes you want, not another poster on here has more X AND O knowledge that me on this WRC thread. Heck even Kevin has met me for lunch to talk over my offense for his JH program. -KDiddy- if Rector wanted to have Shelsky and company lead him to a deep playoff run, he would have already called me to be his OC. Losing Vandiver was a massive loss, he’s coaching all aspects of the game. I was actually asked to not come back to help with junior high at PH. I was told I “yell too much” from the HC and the upcoming kids “wouldn’t be able to handle it if I yelled over a dropped pass.” I think my presence was a distraction as I was looked at as the head coach by players, parents, officials, and opponents, I did my best to stay out of the way, but maybe I took too much shine away from the head coach I got the job for, what I thought was a good friend! Sad for our community, a great group of athletes, and the program I have helped build. Excited to have my Saturdays off from youth league though. This was allowed by Rector, and both AD’s. Thankfully to save my ego, I was contacted by North Central, Attica, Jeff, North Put, and 3 others that I’m not going to post but I plan on taking the year off, finishing my home and continuing to grow spiritually, fiscally, and mentally. I learned Moore in 5 years from Coach Moore, then most assistants learn in a lifetime. I will coach again someday and help build a program that bases its success off winning in grades 3-12 both on and off the field and bringing pride to a community again. I’m an acquired taste I get it, but my former players love me and we won. Thats all that matters. -Hope the Wolves all the success. Riverton will win the WRC and unless they screw it up should def win the sectional, who will their opponents be in the regional, semi, etc?

Had a thought, now we know Concordia is out starting next year. The SAC should drop them out now for football. Leave the schedule as is but make it a non conference game for the rest so Carroll and Homestead can play for the title. Make sense to me.

Good. That’s the way it should be. Private schools need to get their funds privately. This is two-fold. It allows taxpayer money to go toward public education and it keeps government from having any sort of influence on educational institutions that aren’t associated with government. Want to center your education around religious beliefs? Good. You should. But if you take money from the government, don’t be upset when they start trying to tell you how to do things. In other words, if you borrow money from the mob then don’t be surprised when they come to collect.

I get it...very historical....I didn't appreciate the age and history as well. Following same logic to renovate Notre Dame Stadium, Beaver Stadium at Penn State, Kinnick Stadium at Iowa, etc. I am assuming they received cost estimates for stadium reno vs new stadium. Just curious the difference. Sorry Coach...didn't mean to leave off Ross-Ade.....well, maybe it was intentional....😉

When I coached softball I was always one to tell the kids to adjust to the strike zone. I never thought an umpire was trying to screw my team. Did I always agree with the calls? No. Did I get mad? Yes. But to say they have too much influence is crazy. The people who say that are those who are trying to get a walk and take that 3rd strike when it is close. I know I would call pitches to all locations in the first inning and ask my catcher what was working then we would adjst from there. The adversity doesn't come from officials it comes from people who like the way the game is being called and instead of adjusting they play the blame game. Sorry for the rant but I feel that officials get a bad rap from fans and players. This guys #2 struck a nerve.

You’ve also been around enough to know the higher the level of play, the easier it is to officiate. My partner only do V HS games. We only work places that take care of us and treat us decent. We drive by a lot of games to get to the ones we work. I don’t know for a fact but I firmly believe schools continue to hire us year in and year out because they know what they’re going to get. They know we’re going to make them swing the bat, it’s not stupid, but everyone’s here to see you hit….so oblige them! Unlike some posters in this thread they know there’s a bottom of 1 0-0 strike zone and bottom of 4 12-0 strike zone.

Ought to be mandatory for every parent with a kid on the team. Unfortunately, that will result in a significant decrease in all those omnipresent videos of some fat Coach bullying a 14 yr. old kid over a checked swing call… if you like that sort of thing.
