Personally, I'm for seeding and always have been. As said, it provides the opportunity for the best teams to advance, I'm just not a big fan of arrogance.

If I'm not mistaken isn't the Coach at BC the same guy that was just Coach at AHS? If he was in favor of seeding and Bracken is always in favor of seeding and Mason really doesn't care but is voting for it now, couldn't this issue have been solved in the past? If AHS, Bracken, and Mason voted for seeding we he was the Coach at AHS we wouldn't be having this conversation now.

Coaches dont get to decide. AD's are the ones who vote.

Proud to see our coaches and administrators stand up for the student athletes who have been screwed by the draw this year and had an opportunity they deserved taken away from them. Behind them 100%.

You are so wrong with that statement. They had a chance in the district and LOST. They were not good enough. Period. They lost. You act like they were banned from the postseason. The players decided it on the court, not a bunch of soft parents and administrators who always want to take the easy way in life. Play the best, beat the best, and you will be the best. Try doing that.

Good lord, we BEGGED Bracken County to get on board with the idea of seeding for literally my whole career and heard only crickets. Now that seeding may actually make a difference to them they pull this garbage. I'm sorry but that's hilarious.

In my opinion the only thing soft is not letting the regular season decide what the post season position is. Soft is letting a random pill decide kids' chance at region rather than the hard work put in and the results on the field. I have read this whole thread and haven't seen any valid arguement for a draw. There isn't one. Results should dictate. If there was a way to seed region and state as well go for it. If Bracken has voted against it in the past then that's also a shame.

And I don't think anyone's trying make an argument for a draw. I want to see a seed more than anyone. I'm merely having a laugh at how childish the Bears are being about the whole thing.

One more time, Bracken has always voted seed, this is not something they just decided to do all of a sudden. This probably should have been started in the baseball or softball thread because that's what put them over the top on this draw crap. You have two teams playing each other for the opportunity to go to region that have no business going, sorry just how it is.

Sorry but that's just false, they voted against the seed from 2006-12 at least, this I know for a fact.

Not what I was told. So I was lied to?

So you're saying St Pat deserved the opportunity to go to region because they didn't suck as much as Augusta's girls did? The best two teams in district should go period. We seed football, 60 of 64 districts, the NCAA tournament, the NBA, etc. But all hell breaks loose when people try to use common sense and seed the 39th!

This needs to be moved to a different forum since so many are confusing the sports in their dialogue. This was not a boys basketball move, it was an all sports move with baseball being the catalyst along with girls basketball.

Was my post this difficult to understand? If Bracken County were this powerful squad with regional/state aspirations, they were gonna have to beat good teams. Who cares if it's the first round or beyond? Bottom line is this: They got beat, fair and square, and the whining from the adults commences. If Kentucky wanted an effective and sure-fire way to eliminate this "we're district runner-up and proud" mentality, do away with the district runner-up as a regional participant. ONLY the winner of the districts advance, and you have better four-team regionals. But then the small-school mentality will take over again and we'll hear "But that's not fair." Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. The kids aren't at fault here, it's the soft, flabby, entitled adults who are crying.

So are you also for a blind draw of the NCAA tournament and participation medals?
