9 AA baseball

There is a whole lot of unknowns going into this season with the new district. The Indians under new coach, Coby Ginsberg have certainly changed their work ethic and attitude. It will also be nice to have a full compliment of assistant coaches, (Black and Halstead) to help manage this young team. Pitching will be an unknown until we actually get started, got lots of arms, just need to see who will step up to be the District guys.

 

The field is in the best shape it has been in for many years after lots of hard work by all. Looking forward to getting started very soon. Would someone please explain to me the logic of TSSAA in making us wait so late to begin practice?

 

What does the rest of the District look like??????

T$$AA and logic?

 

My guess is that they made an attempt to make all sports have the same amount of conditioning, practice and in season work, but that's just a guess.  I'd rather give up the coaching days in the fall for more in January, particularly for pitchers getting their arms ready.

 

 

No clue on how to begin making predictions in the new district.  From experience so far, the rest of 9AA will put Harpeth lower than they'll finish. ^_^

I am not sure what rules you are following. There is no restriction on pitchers working at any point other than the dead period. Pitchers throwing is covered under the "conditioning" umbrella per Gene Menees.

 

Also, there are no "coaching" days in the fall either other than pitchers. If there has been coaching done in the fall as a school staff then you have violated TSSAA rules. You can have no more than 4 players on any one fall team from one school.

Yeah, the fall ball restrictions have changed since my oldest played fall ball with the 4 per team crap, but those 4 guys are getting coached by someone.  Same for the next 4 that play for a different coach.  It's stupid.  Really there's no real baseball instruction until February, a month before the puny 7-8 week season starts unless you get private instruction on your own.  The freakin' basketball post season lasts almost as long.

 

I think that's the point being made.  I also wonder how bull pens are construed as conditioning and BP is not.  Maybe if the minor sports could somehow make T$$AA more $$?

Harpeth dropped a tough one to Ezell Harding 4-3, bats and pitching were pretty rusty. The most positive thing I saw was the new ATTITUDE that the Indians have on the field, very impressive! Gone are the days of dropping your head after a failure and ump stare downs....

 

They are a different team and will get better as we get some more field time.

Good!  I'll pay to watch then.

Couldnt agree more. Baseball gets a month to coach their players (in the middle of winter) before their first game. How long does fb get????????

Watch out for the War Eagles this season as they are looking very impressive. As strong as their teams have been in the past I am fully confident that their team is even better this year. They have the potential to run the tables if they work hard and play with a chip on their shoulder. On the other hand they could also be a flop..... All depends on their work ethic

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
