Every technical foul counts toward the team foul count.

Explain to me how this is an issue of ethics.....If a coach instructs his/her players to attempt to injure an opponent then I would agree but you and I both know that is not the case.......Personally I think it is up to a coach to make the most of what talent they do have. It is necessary to exploit any weakness your opponent may have. An inability to maintain ones cool is just as big a weakness as lack of size, lack of footspeed, poor shooting etc..... While the coach attempts to exploit opponents weaknesses he/she also has to minimize their own shortcomings. Rose Hill's shortcomings may be lack of depth and quick tempered individuals. How is it unethical to exploit those issues? If I have depth on my bench and will not be hurt by a few players fouling out, why would I not want to play as physical as possible each and every night out? For as long as I can remember Boyd has played an aggressive, physical brand of basketball. The same can be said for the 3 stars of Rose Hill. These young ladies play just as physical as anyone else. How can you expect anyone who plays this way not to be called for a fair number of fouls? If you look at the stats again, tell me how Queen and Terry could pull down 24 boards and have 12 steals between them without being a bit aggressive.

In a word.......YES. Why would you expect things to change now? Always has been always will be. Let me say that this does not seem to be the coaches viewpoint, only that of a few select fans.

Another fine Floyd reference for ya....... "One of these days we're going to cut you into little pieces" Go Devils.....lets see some "snot bubbles". :devil:

Just yesterday I heard a local cheerleading coach remark that "Girls used to want to be cheerleaders. Now they just want to hang out with friends and dont really even care about their appearance anymore". I think this is becoming the case everywhere, in every sport, with todays youth. If you have to point a finger at someone for the lackadaisical attitude of kids today then you should look to their parents, not a coach.

Not only does this comment not have anything to do with this season, it has nothing to do with shooters post that it was in response to.............. If you think back over the past couple of seasons the system at Russell was more "restrictive" early in the season and the reins were loosed a bit as the season progressed. I know they didnt start running and gunning but there was more freedom to create on your own later in the year. I believe the system was so methodical early on for a reason. This teaches the team some discipline and forces them to come together as a team. As soon as they started buying in you could see the changes. Dodd lays the foundation early and builds on it as the kids get on board. The sooner they get on board this season the more they will be able to build.

I will agree with this statement. I also believe that if we negotiate with our own heart in the right place the Lord will have my back and not let me be taken advantage of.

Dear Lord in Heaven, please relieve ScooterBob of his overwhelmingly critical spirit. Amen

To continue the hijacking........ Doc your last comment conjurs up memories of Burt Reynolds' character in "Striptease"? Covered in vaseline.......

Doc your affection for Yak, popcorn and Bobby Hall is a bit disturbing. Seek help.

I think everyone knows where this is going..............go ahead Maroon, give us the list on West Carter.

I find it interesting that Ashland fans are not satisfied with Flynns accomplishments during his time there yet his W/L percentage upon leaving Ashland is nearly identical to what it was when he was hired by Ashland. His performance was good enough to be hired, he maintained the same level of success yet it was not good enough to be retained. I know he left on his own but you get my point.

[ Why should RCHS officials agree to enrich AHS's coffers with nothing in return? Why do I oppose the game? I have stated my reasons in numerous other posts. In truth, there has been no common level of trust or respect between the schools since the "Ovinton Era". Nothing has happened, in my opinion, to heal that situation. and, in fact, a goodly number of incidents have occurred to widen the divide. I support no common athletic activity between the two unless forced to do so by tournament scheduling and that extends to all high school athletic teams. Just my opinion but an opinion based on a good knowledge of the facts and a good memory of the history of the "relationship". ScooterBob dont you think the type attitude these statements reflect is a poor one for the students, at both of these schools, to inherit? Wouldnt such a game open the door to help provide some much needed salve to help heal the situation? At this point in time it will require those in charge to offer some give and take on both ends and to act like adults that are charged with putting our YOUTHS best interest at heart before any such game can be played.

It doesnt appear to.............

I guess it is a moot point since UKCATSFAN is talking about his football association anyway..........Probably a topic worth discussing further but in another forum.

My friend you are wrong if you believe money has nothing to do with it.....While the assigner may not directly effect the income of the schools he is a tool used by them to protect what they do have. If you dont believe me, investigate it a bit further.........find out who voted to rehire your assigner and see if they are not the ones with the most to lose. They want to make sure their schools are taken care of so they have to keep someone in the position of assigner that they can keep their thumb on. Keep in mind it is not too difficult to figure out which association in the state you are speaking. Not to many assigners do football and basketball.

First let me say this......When I hear an official mention politics I immediately think they must be jealous of others. While I am not 100% sure this is not the case in your situation, I will say it seems like you are doing some good things in your association. I want to make a couple points..........1) Regardless of who the assigner is, there will be those that cannot be satisfied. 2)Your associations passing of the by-law has absolutely no power. As you discovered, your policy board simply ignored your input. Seems like the officals point of view in such matters is never a factor. 3) Politics is most definitley at work but maybe not where you think. Usually it is not so much the association members as it is policy board representatives. Simply follow the $$$$. I think you will find out that the policy board is simply out to protect their own interests.

Our pastor is delivering a series of messages with the theme of being a "missions" minded church right here at home. A common theme each week is listening to the Holy Spirit as He will point out opportunities for you to share Christ and then having the courage to follow thru. A man in our Bible fellowship class mentioned that he had been burdened over a friend that he knew needed salvation. He mentioned it to a few others that he was looking for a way to reach this person so a suggestion was made to invite him to play some basketball at the church. His efforst were rewarded as the friend accepted the invite to play ball. God allowed the seed to be planted this night and he also made way for it to be watered, weeded and hopefully soon the crop will be harvested. On the very night this man came to play ball another church member injured his knee while playing. He was prescribed physical therapy for the injury. Guess who the therapist is........Thats right! The therapist is the very man they intended to witness to! Irony? I dont think so.......Sounds like Gods will to me.........Maybe would not have happened without the church's gym............. Matthew 4:19 "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men"

CATSFAN can we assume you belong to the association you speak of or are you an outsider looking in?

No prob.............best not drive the Jeep tonight. Looks to get a bit cool tonight!

Shouldnt it be, "I couldnt care less."?

1st Olive Hill exit, turn left to follow US 60, go thru some sharp curves and you will pass the rock crusher on your right, after you cross Fields Bridge you will start uphill a bit and see the WC Middle School on your right, AFTER the Middle School drive take your next right, go thru a sharp curve then turn right again, you should see the school ahead on your left.

So can I presume this makes you one of those "good ones" ?

These comments sound like a disgruntled official to me. Someone who doesnt quite have the experience that the top officials in his association may have or that doesnt put in the effort they do over the long haul. A younger person who is trained to expect immediate reward and isnt patient enough to actually earn the schedule they THINK they deserve.

Congrats to Jeremy.............he is a great guy and has a good head on his shoulders. His biggest hurdle will be what every other coach at West has faced. They will not consistently succeed until they get a structured feeder system in place. Jeremy definitely knows the game and I think he can teach it but there is sooooo much more to a head coaching position. I hope he has the support and personal stamina to do what it takes to get the right people in the right places and teach the fundamentals of the game to the kids from day one.................
