  1. The Board of Control meets on June 12-14 and one of the items on the agenda is the reclassification for the next 4 years. Has anyone heard any rumors about possible changes? Or possible playoff changes?
  2. Don will do a great job, he has a passion for Greenfield & is very knowledgeable, he was an asst at Lambuth under new Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. He does have his work cut out for him, as would anyone at the 3rd smallest football playing school in the state.
  3. they must be really complicated they are waiting to tomorrow to release it ... my take is if you have to release a video to explain it, then it is too complicated
  4. Take it from someone who has coached against him, he is an absolute beast
  5. I know the pass defense is very unsound, you can't play press inside leverage all the time with only 1 safety
  6. Don't be surprised if Adamsville pulls the upset in this one, they have been fighting the injury bug all year and are just about to get healthy at the right time.
  7. this will be one of the best games in Memphis all year, 2 really talented clubs with 2 very good coaches. But I will take Ridgeway in a close one
  8. I agree with all except numbers 4 and 5, they are human also, some of them do hold grudges and some will enforce it differently maybe only a few but some will. from your tone you must be an umpire
  9. I am, in agreement about how coaches are supposed to act, but the way the rule is written, it leaves little room for interpretation, for example, if a 1st base coach takes a step out of the box to ask the base umpire if he can ask the plate umpire if the the first baseman pulled his foot off of the bag, both coaches are supposed to be confined. if he does this in a respectful manner, there has never been a problem in the past, but could be with some umpires who are more literal than others.
  10. The reason that it is different is that the coaches are located in different positions on the field during the game, an assistant at first base has a different vantage point on a call at first or down the right field line than the head coach would from the 3rd base coaches box or the dugout, don't get me wrong, I am not advocating that an asst coach go nuts and kick dirt or act a fool on the field, but it is ridiculous that he can't take 3 or 4 steps to ask a question. Furthermore as this rule was explained to me by Gene Menes this also applies to a situation where a player is coaching first base in a situation where there is only one coach for the team. If that player violates this rule he and the head coach are restricted to the dugout as coaches, but the player is still active as a player, meaning as soon as he gets restricted to the dugout he could pinch run, or pinch hit. I was discussing this with other coaches over the weekend and they see a tremendous liability issue in a situation like this.
  11. I understand that they can still question a call, but some coaches can question a call without calling attention to themselves if they walk down the line towards the umpire after the call. Without drawing attention to the situation, it can make the relationships better, all umpires that I know don't want to be shown up, especially by an assistant coach. That is why I think that the ability to do that is bad for the game, I do realize the better officials will allow that type of thing to go on, however it is the ones who are unsure that will abuse this rule. It is my understanding that not all state associations have endorsed this rule, I find it unfortunate that ours has.
  12. The national federation has implemented a new rule change for this spring that has to be one of the biggest in years. The rule basically stipulates that an assistant coach may not leave his area to question a call, if he does he and the head coach are to be restricted to the dugout. I understand the need and importance of sportsmanship in our sport, but in my opinion this is just another attempt to protect officials who aren't capable of doing the job at that level. This is just one more step by the national federation to turn our beloved sport into rec ball.
  13. this is also being reported on footballscoop
  14. guys , MUS is a spread offense, but not Tony Franklin disciples
