How can or is there any way one can be exempt from the Tssaa dead period rule. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

 

 

No, only way to not be affected is if you are not a coach in the high school program. If you are a coach in any way, you can not even attend the games to watch. Much less, coach.

So, if you are a HS coach, I know you can't coach, but you can't even watch a travel team game during the dead period? What about if your daughter is participating in the game?

If you have a daughter playing you may attend and watch. You just cant coach in any way.

This question has been asked at TSSAA rules meeting and the answer given was, " You can go observe as a parent of a child playing but not have contact with any other players and only observe give no feedback or coaching during the game." If you are not a parent of a girl playing you cannot go and observe if you are a TSSAA coach. You cannot even be in the complex. Silly I know but that is the rule. Sad thing is many volunteer coaches who are working with a team are not understanding this rule and are not being allowed to coach anymore after the rule is broken. But all coaches who take the TSSAA class are made aware of the rule.

If this sisuation was to happen, does the player have to sit a game during the season if there is a penalty.

This is a question only the TSSAA could answer, but usually the player would not be penalizd but the coach or the school or team. In these situations, usually a coach may be suspended for a few games or for as much as a year. The team or school could be put on probation and not be able to play in post season play. The schools are at the mercy of the TSSAA in these situations and usually it is best if the school report it as soon as they know a rule has been broken and let TSSAA know what punishment the school has imposed on the coach. Most of the time if the TSSAA thinks you have been honest and reported the rule violation and the punishment, they support the school's decision if it is within their guidelines.

 

But this is what I have seen in past, we have a new Leader at TSSAA now, things could change. Again, only the TSSAA can answer for sure in each situation, but maybe this will help

What if a high school head coach is umpiring a game at a travel ball tournament and some of his high school players are competing? That situation arose this past weekend.

As I said in my first post. Only the TSSAA can answer these questions but if it was not cleared before hand with the TSSAA, I would not want to be in his shoes. This is a direct violation of the rules and would not be fair to those coaches who have followed the rule to the letter and stayed away. But again, the TSSAA may have allowed it if it was known before the fact. I have known coaches who sent in a letter to have an athletic banquet or a booster club meeting during the dead period and was turned down because that is having contact with the players. The booster club can occur as long as only parents show up and no student athletes. I know that one from a personal level as I was told I could have the booster club meeting but if a player showed up with the parent we would be in violation, so I decided to wait until dead period was over.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
