Ballhawk Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 The question was so simple - can seniors play JV? Yes, they can. Oh how it turns because someone stirs the pot. I'll ask another simple question? Is it not up to the coach if he wants to allow this or not? Four pages of this. I need to find a better hobby! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tune people out, don’t respond, or respond to posts you like. Exactly. Amazing how easily people let themselves become offended by simple words when such statements really do them zero harm.

Coach Nowlin Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I appreciate the kind words @SenatorFan However, in this case, Muda was calling shenanigans on @DanteEstonia All I attempt to do is move conversations in the postive direction, provide data and personal experience of my current 17 year career coaching this great game and my 10 years of being part of the post TA led forum. I believe the @Muda69 and @DT of the world do have a place here, sometimes they need to be reigned in a bit, and DT will tell you he enjoys throwing stuff at the wall and watching the outcomes unfold, few times to the good, many times not so much. I have learned long ago through a lot of experience is sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. As @eschnur66 stated in another thread, folks need to learn how to disagree without going 0-60 in 3 seconds. Then it just becomes noise. So at the end of the day, my Chili eating friend @Ballhawk said it correctly below here: 2 hours ago, Ballhawk said: The question was so simple - can seniors play JV? Yes, they can.

Guest DT Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 11 minutes ago, gonzoron said: Why? Because seniors are seniors and belong on the varsity roster. If allowed to remain JV, they take away valuable developmental opportunities for underclassmen, who deserve every opportunity to show the coaching staff what they can do. Seniors have had their opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hard and fast rules like no seniors on JV and minimum roster size by class would force some of the bottom feeders to volumtarily contract.

Football Fanatic Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Late to the discussion. My opinion - I don't like seniors playing JV. I guess my idea of "junior varsity" does not include seniors, going by the literal term. Let's call it "reserve varsity" or something like that and it would make more sense. However, I think it should be allowed in special circumstances where the head coach deems it essential and fair. For example - senior who shows up every day and works hard but is simply not good enough to get any varsity time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My senior class at BNL had 11 seniors; 4 played JV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
