    Week 0 Scrimmage

    Yes. But from what I am hearing many schools either won't schedule one.

    What sport has the worst parents?

    Lacrosse are worst by far. I'd put hockey next followed by girls hoops.

    Your First Favorite Player

    Tracy Ham, former QB at Georgia Southern. Loved watching him on TV when cable just started.

    Favorite Sports TV Day

    Agree with conference championship sunday. But for me, the best pure sports days is anytime christmas falls near the weekend. NBA on starting at 11 and then usually some top meaningful NFL games.

    What's best for CPS?

    Not trying to start a flame war, coach, but serious question. Do you think there could be any support for moving to 8-man for some of the smaller and non-playoff eligible CPS schools who struggle to field a full team at times?

    CPS Eliminating School Choice

    Completely agree here. Small point -- ND does have room for at least 40-50 more kids. I would expect Iggy to be the biggest winner among athletic types, followed by Depaul

    Rochester Rockets oppose new IHSA football rules

    To be fair, it was "blessed" by IHSA rules committee. While schools need to sponsor all new chance, to completely say the iHSA isn't involved is not fully accurate either

    IHSA - District Proposal - Official Language

    There are still some teams with 3 or more open dates. Mostly central IL. They will fill their schedule, but likely against schools which are much smaller or bigger.

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    Disagree to an extent. When the admin/AD doesn't back up a coach in setting boundaries, chaos generally ensues.

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    I didnt share because it involves a very specific situation which i don't think is right to air publicly.

    IHSA - District Proposal - Official Language

    Devil's advocate. Would a move to districts make city championship more meaningul since many top teams won't play each other during regular season

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    Back when i coached (multiple sports, just not football), I had a preseason meeting before tryouts where i would lay out expectations and have both players and parents sign to acknowledge the team handbook. Included were things like - Any absences from practices or games would result in...

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    I've got some intel on the Hinsdale situation which i don't want to post publicly. However, let's just say, the issues are even worse than what is reported and this situation probably gets worse long before it gets better.

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    Question for parents of current or very recently graduated football players. How, if at all, has your kid's head coach created boundaries for parents? (eg limiting conversation about kids to certain times, not discussing playing time, etc). What coaches do it well? I am seeing more and more...

    On December 17, 2019 District football was repealed

    On Soucie's interview, he said he expected it to be within 25 votes either way and I tend to agree with him. Over the year, the Leg committee has shown that they know how to count votes. Very few things which are proposed are defeated, let alone soundly defeated. To Edgy's point, it sounds...

    Sandburg IHSA investigation - asst coach whistleblower on recruiting

    Based on the rules, there can be no specific talk about an athletic program, its facilities, successes, etc. They can say "We have a team; there are tryouts in the fall". It's an arcane rule and most schools public or private violate it. And when it gets enforced it's just arbitrary and...

    Sandburg IHSA investigation - asst coach whistleblower on recruiting

    Are many IHSA schools, public and private, likely guilty of this? Without a doubt. The rule is no high school coach can discuss a school's athletic program with a prospective student athlete. Same thing about private recruiting.

    IHSA - District Proposal - Official Language

    The problem is neither CPS of CCL have 8 teams in any one class. Like I've said before, if districts were six teams, I think this solution is much more workable
