So you don't have to be in any type of physical condition to play football or baseball? God knows baseball doesn't have anything to do with feel.

 

Comparing high school sports to college? What does that prove?

 

 

Baseball and basketball are very similar in that you have to have a feel, you can't just pick up a baseball or bat and expect to be successful.

 

 

I thought we was comparing football to basketball....my bad.

 

 

I was comparing it to college because hs and college football play the same exact amount of games, shouldn't basketball?

 

 

You are seriously comparing the conditioning in basketball to that of football and baseball?

 

 

In all honesty baseball gets the worst end of the deal, but I see baseball and basketball coaches working together far more than I see football working with either one......................

You cannot please every single sport or their participants. Everyone's season leaves something to be desired with kids playing other sports. It is just the nature of the beast. They are high school kids, it is what they are supposed to be doing.

Basketball and football players are in tremendous condition, just a different type of condition.

 

So should high school baseball play 50+ games like college also?

:thumb: I've not been involved with baseball, but anyone that doesn't see the tremendous conditioning needed with football simply does not know what they are talking about.

I don't think the issue centers around playing football in December. The real issue is does football impede basketball. Do players that could help the b-ball team not play?

 

At HHS its an obvious yes.

 

Beechwood probably suffers as well.

Having played both I feel I know exactly what I'm talking about.

Any program that plays past the 2nd week of the playoffs suffers.

There is short-term suffering and long-term suffering.

 

NCC suffers short-term.

 

Highlands and BW suffer long-term(and it has nothing to do with December).

Danville is a school that has struggled with the for many years. You can never judge a Danville basketball team by their record because they normally get a late start and will open up 2-6 or so. The Ads typically have a large number of football (and soccer) players that come over to basketball. And it does take awhile for them to get going. Sometimes they overcome it and are very good late; sometimes it seems to bog down and they just don't play well.

Add Belfry to the long-term list as well.

I've argued this for years and people simply say cut basketball season down.......and they are wrong.

 

 

Basketball you need to have a feel for and you have to play a lot of games to get that feel.......you also have to have conditioning for, basketball season is fine the way its is.

 

College basketball teams play 35-40 games if they win the title.

 

 

College football teams play 15 games.

 

 

Holmes played 38 last year

 

All the football schools played 15.

 

 

Looks fine to me.

 

The majority of College football teams generally play 13 games if they play in a bowl, unless you are in a conference championship game, play a regular season game at Hawaii or you are U of Hawaii, then they play 14 (possibly 15, but rare).

I should not have thought one dimensionally in that previous post. Let me re-state. The above scenario applies to Division I FBS schools. Division I FCS schools and lower divisions may play 15 games, but that is if they go deep in the playoffs.
