Varsity rosters

Perhaps one of the many coaches who read these forums will answer my question.

When asked to supply a numerical roster for broadcast media or public address announcers when you are on the road, how come some of you coaches won't put them in numerical order? I have seen coaches send out rosters with players listed by class, by alphabetical order, and a small few of you send them with no number at all.

Come on coaches, do better!

Rant Over!

Honestly, I wish the TSSAA would mandate a roster uploaded on their website.  That would help everyone!

 

Totally agree. I’m not sure if folks outside of media or game day crews realize how something as simple as a roster can be made so difficult. Having them in one unified location would be a huge benefit.

And @ReitzFan, I’m working a game today. You would not believe the roster sent to me to share with our announcer and radio guy. I’ve looked at it for over 24 hours and still can’t figure out how it was put together. And best of all is the fact that it doesn’t even have numbers for the players.

Most programs that are legit have their rosters on one or more platforms. unapproved website is credible most of the time

Unfortunately, there are people who put a roster on that site and the same player is listed multiple times or they have a goofy amount of players on the roster like 30 or more.

I'm taking a not so wild guess and saying you are covering your girls today. So many of the Memphis schools are such a joke

Sadly, they still manage to screw that up at times. Unfortunately, basketball coaches are the worst about making a proper roster available. If I call on Monday for a roster to use in a Friday game, I should not have to still be making return calls on Thursday. That is way too common.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
