Wow. Deleting responses? Really?

Ouch! Good one.

Why does the phrase "petulant child" keep coming to mind? Weren't some of the Trinity faithful accusing Ballard of running it up against J'town? Now you're posting a self congratulatory thread on how badly you beat your district.

Kind of tough to see the correlation between GPA's and knowledge of the game. Plus, maybe Ballard's kids have similar academic standing. I'd be cautious in inferring a higher level of intelligence and/or basketball knowledge without background information. Point=my high school valedictorian had a 4.0 & a 34 on the ACT, but he couldn't hit a layup. The experience factor is a valid point. I can't imagine walking onto the court at Rupp for the first time.

It just seems like no matter what Wolford does you're going to be critical. Too many dads on staff, no philosophy, bad hires for offensive coordinator, change for change sake, taking too long to make a hire, on and on. Could we agree you just have issues with Wolford, justified or not? St X improved this year. Does he get credit for that?

Bruin66 aren't you the incessant Wolford critic who says he needs to figure out his offensive philosophy? What's the rush? If the new guy is a teacher he won't be around for while anyway. Maybe he's making sure he has the right guy. There is no rush except in your mind.

Or maybe she's saying the same thing many St X fans, and their Trinity counterparts were saying: Coach Glaser's time had come and gone, and let's support the kix s and staff now in place. Just speculating.

The Glaser glasses are an interesting phenomenon. So many X fans wanted him gone. Now, because Wolford hasn't won big yet, Glaser is fondly remembered. I'm convinced Coach Wolford is learning on the job. Good news is he's willing to learn. And I think Coach Bruner returned to the staff because he believes in where the program is heading. That tells me all I need to know.

Excellent point. I think one of Coach Wolford's initial mistakes was lack of knowledge of high school coaches. His first staff looked a lot like a CSAA group. Now he has a number of former high school head coaches and coordinators. The defense seems to have established an identity. Maybe he'll find an OC who can do the same.

I suspect he learned his lesson about dads on the staff. Bruins, i'd be interested in what you think the right move is. Should Wolford keep the staff intact to keep stability or should he bring in a new OC? I can't figure out what your solution is.

Their offense didn't need improvement? Did you see them play?:isurrender:

Could be why Coach Glaser watches on Fridays now. His unwillingness to change with the times ultimately cost him. Coach Woodford has had a ton of changes on his offensive staff since he took over. I'd like to pose this question: what is more important, the same staff each year, or making the changes needed to get it right? Seems like Trinity had some defensive upheaval the past couple of years. Coach Beatty did what he had to do to fix it. Wolford's lack of experience has shown in staff turnover but he sure seems to have gotten the defensive side figured out. Maybe offense is next.

Can't say I'm that shocked. If you look at Ballard's schedule, they beat little of substance, then got a tremendous draw in the playoffs. Great season, but perhaps a bit of fool's gold for the past few weeks.

I get it now...it only matters if it's a TRINITY jayvee game that's important enough to slurp over on here. Glad you cleared that up for us.

Or rolling out, as most teams call it.

Bruins lost a big senior class and have a completely new coaching staff. Coach J looks to have returned to his roots with the wing T.

Sounds like the SK passing game is in high gear. Don't know how they kept the scoreboard from overheating. Smh

I think something that is significant for the Tigers, and coach Wolford's learning curve, is the overhaul of his staff. I had a St. X fan tell me they have 4-5 guys on the staff who have been head coaches as well as another who was an experienced D coordinator. That kind of experience has to help, even if it doesn't improve team speed!

'It's normal to enjoy praise and dislike criticism. True character is using both to make you better and preventing either from affecting you negatively.' Well put, Coach! We'd all be better served to heed those words.

I believe the LB coach was the DC at Ballard last year.

B&O, are the new coaches really coaches or new dads?

Hasn't Coach Wolford made some pretty dramatic changes to his staff? I believe both coordinators now are former head coaches and there are a couple other new faces on staff with significant high school experience, but I could be (as I often am) wrong.

"Let’s pass the stubborn billy-goat horn helmet to Ballard" Does this make Coach Jones the Rachel Lawson of high school softball, given her refusal to change pitchers at the WCWS? :idunno:

Any predictions, other than drama?

Someone told me it's tonight, someone else said tomorrow night. Any word from the Tiger faithful?
