Has the banner with the list of coaches and openings for 2026 been moved? Thanks. -
A Legend is Walking Away
bucksfan replied to temptation's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Reitz Memorial. His kids (players) were what I was referring to. My contacts around Mooresville apparently consider not winning the conference as "struggling." Clearly, the records up to this year indicate otherwise. Back to my original point, "other" is not out of the question, since some people around Mooresville think "struggling" is not winning the conference. Thanks. -

No, just curious. They have not been as good since the previous coach's kids graduated. I knew he won a lot of games, but I didn't know if he had won any state titles. So in the day of "what have you done for me lately", or in coaching, "how many games did you win this year?" it would not be crazy if "other" occurred. Someone posted that he thought about it last year. Makes sense that at his age and past success, now is the time to retire. -

Do you happen to know where Kevin played college ball? I played with a Kevin Miller in college and am curious if it's the same guy. Thanks. -

Thank you.

I just saw that a Ron Qualls was hired at Shortridge (IPS) can anyone confirm if this is the same Ron Qualls, who coached at Heritage Christian a few years ago? Thanks.

Less exciting but still noteworthy. Whiteland has a new DC (and PE teacher), name escapes me. Any other hirings or changes among the assistant ranks? I think it's fun to see where guys move around too.

Other Coaching Changes
bucksfan replied to bucksfan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
At least 3 in the last 5 years. Hopefully since Stallings is an IPS coach that had some success at CA, this will stabilize the program and get i going in the right direction. -
George Washington Indianapolis - Terry Pendleton stepped down, Ramon Stallings is the new head football coach.

Sorry, my bad. Sorry, my bad. -
Triton has posted weight training and HFC position. 11-2 is a good season anywhere, anyone know where Coach Able went?

End of Danville-Brebeuf game
bucksfan replied to Tin Cup's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
By rule, if a player goes out of bounds on his accord sideways or backwards, the clock is wound as if he was downed in bounds. Brebuef did this a couple times to avoid the hit and keep the clock moving. One would assume the kid was trying to stop the clock, but the covering official clearly saw him go sideways. That was tough one when I started. -
End of Danville-Brebeuf game
bucksfan replied to Tin Cup's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I am a former HS Fb Coach (MS to DIII in my career) a journey man if you will, who turn to the stripes several years ago. I have officiated both school's JV games over the years and thought why not check out the "Game of the Week". My observations are purely mine from both an official and coach. I think most officials would agree, throw the flag early especially in this end of game situation, you can always pick it up. We officials are always talking about optics, like being in position, being decisive and communicating with each other and the coaches. I think it is fair to say the long discussion with a very late flag and communication were poor optics for everyone watching the game. I would have liked to seen a flag then a discussion, and I am sure the crew would agree. We all make mistakes, but we get it more often than not after a discussion, despite what coaches and fans think because HS, NCAA and NFL rules are not all the same. Illegal participation, I believe was the final call, half the distance to the goal. The call Friday night at the end of OT was the right call, just not timely. As I change hats, I wonder about a few things. Brebeuf has a 14 point, lead momentum seems to be shifting and they throw the ball three times using about 15 secs. They have a good running back, who is very dangerous in the open field and runs hard between the tackles. I wonder if running the ball to shorten the game, is a good idea? Even another minute changes everything since there were 2 touchdowns scored in the final minute. Danville had self-control issues all night, starting with the HC coach, who was on the field several times to argue calls, which is a big "no no" according to Mr. Faulkins, and this crew night be penalized with just one playoff game for not handling that better. At the end of regulation Bb was doing laterals to win, an obvious lateral hits the ground, the Danville fans and sideline erupt like the game was over, and it wasn't. Dv kids stopped playing and started celebrating, while a Bb player alertly grabbed the ball and ran to the endzone, leaving just the extra point to send the game to OT. I wonder if being aware of the situation and not listening to the crowd is a good idea? To be continued... In OT Dv scored and made the decision to go for 2, gutsy on the road and all. Seems early and extreme, but I was a more conservative as a play caller and game manager. But if going for it, I wonder, why not throw it to #4? He has caught several TD passes already, seems like a sure thing if you are going for the win. Continued, and on 4th down in OT when Bb gets stopped, and the ball pops out with no whistle to end the play, and it was closer to the Dv sideline than Bb, seems like you would make sure the fumble isn't picked up like at the end of the game. After the delay and the correct call, Bb still has to score and kick the PAT to tie, oops never mind, and Dv still has a chance to stop them. Unlike anything I have ever seen in my 40 + years of football of playing coaching and officiating, from the 2 TDs in under a minute to get to OT, to the end of OT, hats off to both teams for paying their tails off for more than 48 minutes, congratulations to the officials for making the right call, even if it took a minute or more. Can you imagine if the game ended with 30 Dv players on the field before the fumble was picked up and the Bb player was tackled?. That would be CONTROVERSIAL! -
Best topic- responses I have ever seen on here. Kudos gentlemen. Buckeyes - Tough Nuts

Why in the world would you defend the IHSAA, when clearly they are wrong in the handling of this situation? Afraid Robert might not let you work in the playoffs, only guessing you are an official by your picture. If you are not, then see the first question. I have worked in and for several schools and have many contacts around the state, and I know many incidents where hardships against the student occurred and help from the IHSSA was requested and denied, especially if they are a small, urban, or private school. They claim they are for students' best interest and yet those actual examples are hard to find. Feel free to show us one that is not from Carmel or Center Grove.

I thought the article said the coach I thought the article said the coach was fired, but the brother of the girl involved was being denied a transfer, by both IC and the IHSAA because he was being harrassed.

Is anyone really surprised the IHSAA screwed another student-athlete. They do it all the time, it just doesn't get pub.

2 Things since everyone seems to be speculating. Are we sure BD is not getting paid to Host IMG? Related to the first question, I am willing to bet they are flying here. Tuition at IMG is listed between 45K and 90K. https://world-schools.com/schools/img-academy/ Scroll down the page to find tuition fees. So to answer the question that started this thread, MONEY!

The NFL is not using them just for show. The above is correct. Training your neck and traps also can reduce concussions and this is documented.
