Controversy in 3-AAA

Recommended Posts

This is another case of the TSSAA doing something that is not in the best interest of high school sports. The rule to protect player safety is a good one but if the umpires (who are charged by the TSSAA to enforce fair play) did not notice the rule infraction immediately they are the ones to blame. Also, how can a team that got beat move on? The proper enforcement of such a rule would be to remove the coach for a game and prohibit the pitcher from pitching any more until a specified time. You let a losing team move on due to a technicality. Great move by the Halls Coach but a true bonehead move by the TSSAA

It's not the umpires responsibility to keep up with the number of innings a pitcher pitches, it's the coaches...rules are rules and if you're not going to follow them then why have them.

Now for some REAL Observations:

 

Knoxville News-Sentinel hasn't provided schedules all year, why should they start now?

 

Don't they have a private school event to cover? (i.e. Catholic v.s. CAK equestrian trials) :lol::lol::lol:

 

Where is the Sentinel on this controversial topic? Avoiding it like the bubonic plague I suppose!

 

 

As far as I am concerned, the Halls coach is very smart and is probably the most impressionable coach (on his players) than any coach in the KIL. He doesn't always get his proper due, but quietly he gets the job done. Even if the protest is not upheld, Halls will still win this district.(NOT EVEN CLOSE). thumb

 

Now, for all you Oak Ridge folks, you are ridiculously kidding yourselves if you would not have done the same thing in protesting. Again, as someone else said, why have the rule if you aren't going to abide by it?

It may be that rag of a papers fault for not providing the 3AAA schedule, but at the same time they do list other tournament schedules. Could it be that the coaches or administrators do not call it in to the paper. Don't really know or care. Would just like to have a schedule for this week. Surely someone on this site would have one. Thanks.

i was involved in coaching a high school game when a homerun decided the outcome of the game. the ball was tossed in and it was a diamond batting practice ball with no stamp which is in the rule book. i tried to protest but was told there was no protest in a high school game

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
