I meant that Humboldt didn’t want to play Peabody or Milan. Just worded it wrong sorry

If I were Humboldt's Principal and the coach scheduled Peabody and Milan, I'd fire him. The ideal schedule should have two or three games that you're more than likely not going to win, four or five that are pretty evenly matched,  and a couple or three that you should win. You shouldn't schedule teams that you will probably beat by fifty, and you NEVER schedule teams that should beat you by fifty. Nobody learns anything in those lopsided games, other than the bench gets some game time. If you go 0-10 the year prior, you look for wins if you can find them... I'm not talking about coaches trying to pad stats here either... I'm talking about building confidence and excitement within the program.

Bingo. And I feel Humboldt lost Friday but had a great showing. They are slowly starting to get their feet under them. Storied program. Hope they can get it back.

Funny enough BigEd, but I do too. I have made it no secret how I felt about the way that Bland was "let go", and that I relished what Humboldt's administration has reaped from it. Shame that the kids have had to endure the rewards that treachery and treason have brought, because they have suffered more from it than those responsible ever could, and weren't at fault.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.
