Schue, you can call me crazy all you want but look at this roster.

Now look at this roster.

Now, tell me that the high school team couldn't compete with the NCAA D3 team.

 

I have known of a few kids that started at NCAA D3 and NCAA D2 schools that never started in high school. I think one year in the 80s Union College had 3 starters that never started a game for their high school teams, and they hadn't played high school at powerhouse programs.

No, they couldn't be competitive, on a consistent basis. College athletes, are older, physically stronger and have 2-3 additional years, of competition.

 

Besides, Centre overall record was 29-5 (4th-Place NCAA Div. III), NCAC 15-1 (Champions)....don't agree, with this comparison.

Make that a double :thumb: :thumb:

I am sure that Centre college could beat Garrad Co. I am not sure Centre could have beaten Scott Co, Ballard, Holmes, or Warren Central this year. This is not a knock on Centre. Heck Centre is a beautiful place and Danville is one of my favorite towns. I know that the high school head jobs pay more than the D3 and NAIA2 head jobs MOST of the time. I remember asking a very successful head coach about applying for an NAIA2 job once. He said he would have to take about a 50% cut in pay going from the HS job to the NAIA2 job.

 

I am sure Centre could beat any high school team in the state. You obviously haven't seen them play. And I believe the article in the local paper says Coach Bolin is still going to teach at Garrard. So I doubt he will be taking much of a pay cut.

That's just crazy. College teams, with the extra maturity and strength of the players, would not lose to HS teams unless that HS team has some game-breaker NBA-types.

 

I agree! It would be hard for any high school team to compete with college level kids. The difference between 16/17 and 20/21 is tremendous.

Any updates on this job?

I heard yesterday that Kent Miller has applied. Of course what job hasn't he applied for in the last 2 months!?
