Mr. Skinner, just bc Rick Broering didn't break this doesn't mean it's not true.

I agree. Antonio Campbell??? Seriously? That kid got no better in the time he was there. Personally I thought he was out of shape and not what people made of him. Sure he would score on kids bc of his size, but when did he ever do something spectacular? I like Erik, but no way Newcath was hiring him. If it were to be Ron Dawn, so be it. Best of luck to him.

Newcath would never hire Erik Goetz. Just my opinion.

It's already on twitter and official.

What is going on in these schools? Parents have taken control of everything and no one in any administration has the backbone to stand up to them. Here you have a good coach who is told to quit or be fired all because a group of parents didn't like his style?

Shame on the BW admin if this is true, which it probably is. Never been a big fan of Ben Zimmerman, even if he wasn't the one making the phone calls. Best of luck to Michael. Great guy.

Week 0 is 8/23. So yes, football was moved back a week. Most likely due to heat/humidity.

Can't argue with that!

My two cents, for what it's worth: If the names on this thread are truly applicants, my guess would be that Beau Menefee would be one of the front runners. I believe he was the Head Coach at Bellevue some years back, but I could be wrong. I know that he was on staff there. Mike Walls would be an obvious choice considering he's a Dayton guy, been a HC and just came off of a staff that went to the Regional Final. I thought he coached football at Dayton as well, but it's been a few years since I've been to one of their games. Bill Rogg, Darrell Patton & Nathan Dilts have all put in time with the program, which is great for the kids in the system, but I don't know if any are ready to be the HC. Not a shot at any of those three, just my opinion. Part of me thinks a change in scenery would be best for the administration, but sometimes continuity is what's best for the kids. I hope that whomever the Principal and Superintendent hire is the perfect fit. Nothing better than seeing the little guy succeed, i.e. Augusta.

Florida is where I thought he went. Thanks.

They did.

I would think Ryle will get many solid applicants. I'd bet the farm Goetz will apply and would see why Snapp would apply, but I don't know if Scott Code will, as he seems to be in a good place. I saw on the other message board Brandon Grammer's name. Didn't he move away to coach somewhere?

Well written, as always, Mr. Skinner! This event needs to be played, but I agree that the participation has lacked since the glory days of this event. I've been to many east/west games and have enjoyed almost all of them. I can't say that I'm a big fan of the lack of discipline with some of the past players. By no means do I mean many players or all players, but there have been some young men, who have nothing to lose, that act like fools. In a perfect world the kids would compete hard, with class, and enjoy this event as a token of their hard work and dedication of their careers. Kudos to Tom Gamble for grabbing this by the horns and taking control. I agree with him, someone who runs events should take charge of these types of things. Looking forward to June already!

Any word on when Mullins resigned?

Tough break for Kyle. I hope things work out for him, whatever he decides to do. Congrats to Coach Griffith. Best of luck to him.

I believe you, too. However, don't you think at some point he'd want to stay in the same building? I kinda thought of him for the Walton job since they live out there. It's my belief that Erik Goetz will apply and will be considered for the job. I don't know much about HC, but when you can't even make it out of your district, it has to be frustrating. Now will be a good time for him to move on, if that's what he chooses to do.

One would think Hunt or Feldman would appear to have a good chance at this job. I'm with Clyde, a young and energetic coach would do well in Ft. Thomas. Someone who could care less that football is king, but will coach who shows up and will coach them hard.

My common sense is no better than anyone else's. I didn't take that as a knock either. All I'm trying to say is that every rule book has things that are just plain silly. If Coach R got stuck each time he stepped out of his box people would riot. I applaud officials who can identify what's important and let the other stuff slide. Now, that has to go both ways, that much I do agree with you on. Too often we see something slide in one direction and not the other, which is not acceptable. Personally, I don't want to go to a game and see the officials take over and enforce the rule book emphatically. I'd rather see order on the floor, good flow to the game and defenses be rewarded for good play. Maybe my beliefs aren't everyone else's, but if you took a poll I'd bet people would rather see that than games where 40-50 fouls were called.

With you here, Mex. Hopefully he can get to about 6'1 - 6'2 because he will add weight. Could you imagine the coaching carnival he would create at 6'2 with his skill set? Wow. I'd go to games just to see the coaches.

Good for him. I truly don't know how the select who works/advances in the Sweet 16, but have heard each official is evaluated and moves on with their performance in each round. Truth?

Why is that funny?

I've not been to all the 10th schools, but all of them I have been to have been marked. The BBA sent out a memo last fall about the enforcement of this rule and the schools were required to have their benches marked. It used to be first seat to last seat, or at least that's what officials would say. For the record, I never saw anyone get stuck for being out of their box - coaching or yelling. Normally you see that enforced at lower levels when new(er) officials are learning what to enforce and what not to enforce. I agree with TOG, they're paid to enforce rules and maintain order, but sometimes you must take the rule book and add a pinch of common sense.

Sorry to hear this about Lyons. Heck of a player!!!

I missed this. Could you go into detail about the "clean-up?" Thanks in advance.
