Check every major media outlet and what they are pushing on their news feed. They are picking and choosing their data points (the wrong ones I might add) to create panic. Panic usually leads to “better safe than sorry” types of decisions even when common sense points in the other direction. I totally agree. Fear is king today. That said, in education....there is a lot of collaboration between administrators (and school boards) behind the scenes. I feel like in our state the majority are looking hard for a safe way to pull it off. To bad the Federal government hasn't offered help with resources to make that happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw13 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Fear is king because there is no plan! No plan creates the unknown. Plans and preparations create confidence, just like we (coaches) try to do with our weekly game plans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is not to minimize the difficulty in planning for something like this. There are so many uncontrolled — and uncontrollable — variables that any “plan” is going to have to be highly flexible to meet unforeseen circumstances.

oldtimeqb Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 General question: can anyone find an AAU basketball, travel soccer, or travel baseball tournament that has been cancelled due to COVID concerns since June 21st? I can’t find one. Therefore, I’ve come to the conclusion that you can only catch the coronavirus Monday - Friday at an IHSAA sanctioned event. That’s the only explanation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Indiana. Tennessee and Wisconsin-yes. Both moved to the Indiana Convention Center. They had a baseball tournament at Hamilton Heights yesterday. Maybe longer, not sure. I thought it was kinda strange that they were gonna charge me $5 to drop my kid off at football practice.

RegionFBFan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 320 football schools in Indiana 8 have suspended workouts (Fishers, Indy NC, Silver Creek, Terre Haute South, Portage, Boone Grove, Calumet, River Forest) 2.5% of total - quite low actually and not unexpected. If you thought this was not going to happen, you were dreaming. Are there more that I'm missing? Did Fishers start back up this week? Positive note - at a different level but Ohio State shut down last week and restarted this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
