I think that is why I keep coming back to this (when again, it is really none of my business) - to suspend an absolute LEGEND over something as vague as "insubordination" ?? Like...what?? It is something either REALLY bad....or A complete over-reach by an over-zealous AD OR...maybe not, but I would think if I were Coach Wright and it wasn't something totally embarrassing and/or criminal, I would want to clear the air.

DPI = most "over-officiated" part of the game. In my opinion of course In that same vein, Offensive pass interference is almost NEVER called. WR's get away with murder sometimes

What I find interesting is the pick 6 in question that the Coach on the postgame is referencing- it happened coming out of a time-out or stoppage, so it didn’t appear (to me) there was even any “signaling in” on that play?!? No idea why I was investigating further- but it peaked my interest

Things that are personal in nature and none of my business, I genuinely don't care that much. HOWEVER - when a figure such as the win coach in all of Indiana High School football and a legend gets the hammer dropped on him by School Administration, I think it reaches beyond just the local community. As a school employee - it also peaks interest as to the dynamics in play. Was it an "over-zealous AD" trying to make his mark...or an old "get off my lawn/can't tell me what to do" moment from Coach? We'll probably never know and your right, none of my business. But I would disagree with it not being newsworthy.

What on earth is going on here?? The whole ordeal just seems odd to me...

So we can’t ask what happened on a message board?? What’s the point then??

All SIAC teams play on turf fields though, correct?? Or is VL still grass?

You said it - not me

Biting my tongue....biting my tongue.... iykyk

Just curious - is Rupp still calling plays for the Tigers??

100K + ?!?! Geez....I must be in the wrong part of the State. Story time: A few years ago, a certain Southern Indiana power went out and filled a few "positions of need" around their Mr. Football candidate. The rest of the conference and others called "foul" - but we were told it happens all the time up around the Indy area So why all the fuss around WC?? I thought this was a normal occurrence??

Out-of-State power-house coming into Linton, Indiana....wonder if they know what they are getting into lol...

Anyone attend? Score? Recap? Any standout performances??

We basically have it in sectional (s) now anyway, so it is what it is.

In the old PAC schedule, you only had room for 2 non-conferences games. I believe there was a stretch there (maybe 4 years?) when SR had Eville Central on the schedule...was one of their (Central's) best 4 year stretches in school history as luck would have it for us lol. And then obviously our other "non conference" game was filled with county rival Jasper. I know HH routinely played Jasper as well (although there was a time when they took a break from each other) ....so that only left 1 non-conference game. I don't recall who they filled that with...but don't remember it being any Eville schools .

Well...since you asked- NO, I don't think they do a very good job of it - but every situation has its own circumstances so undoubtedly it has to be an almost impossible job. I think they do the best job they can. As far as this new rule...it comes across to me as the IHSAA looking for the easy way out of things. And I think, much like college sports are experiencing now - it can lead to a slippery slope kind of deal. Where we sit - you'd just like to see as much of an even playing field as possible. In an ideal world - you start in the youth leagues with your buddies in 3rd or 4th grade - you stick with it, and you play with the pretty much same group of buddies you've spent your whole life with. I think about those kiddos who did that, only to be told their senior year "ya sorry, but we've brought in this stud left tackle who is gonna play over you now so we can have a better shot" ....just doesn't sit right with me. That said - no coach in their right mind would turn down an opportunity to better their chances at success on the field ...I'm not that naive. As you've said - geography (being in a city or on the suburbs of one) plays a large role in how much if affects ones program. As is life

Like the IHSAA does anything to regulate it anyway?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - of course. Yup- let's just make them club teams and charge a $$ and be done with it

Coaches have to say the correct things, especially to media outlets and what-not. And honestly - it is a done deal so the correct attitude to have it "let's strap it up and get it on" But is NO ONE going to point out how laughable sectional 31 is compared to 32?? I know some sectionals will undoubtedly be tougher - but can no one in the executive room take a step back and look and go......"well lets see: Gibson, Memorial, HH, MD, SR" compared to "Owen Valley, Madison, Edinburg, Scottsburg, Corydon Central" ......"yup, looks about right to me" And don't point to geography ...OV to Madison is 2 hours and 11 minutes.....Gibson/Eville 1 hour 30 minutes Sorry to offend anyone....just no one had said it yet. And I REALLY don't care all that much....you play who is in front of you. I just don't like illogical things

Awesome article- thanks for sharing. Brings back lots of family memories

Ahh I was not aware of that - I thought both had converted to the 21st century ! Are SR and VL the only schools on EASTERN time as well?? (That's honestly how they should determine sectionals...if you are on stupid....er I mean Central time - then you all get grouped together!)

I may be way off on my timeline - but pretty sure Emge didn't shut it doors still around the 94-96 range?? Also I was thinking of this last night ...is HH the only school in our sectional field that doesn't have turf??! Can we petition the IHSAA that they not host any sectional games !?!? heheheheheh (I kid of course....sort of)

I'm willing to bet most people, outside of our circle -(without looking it up) -given the following list: MD, Heritage Hills, Gibson Southern, and Southridge - would be incorrect.

Duly noted Fun trivia fact for you- outside of Memorial- who is the only other team in this sectional field to be moved up due to SF, and gained enough points to stay up the next classification go around??

Just checking back in....no one answered my question 😞

Appreciate the responses gentlemen - thank you very much. So, next question then- when a seeding proposal is shot down by a 16-0 vote (or whatever it was), it that vote done by the Executive committee?? (Who, according to my reading, is NOT made up of principals - but rather AD's?)
