Reading comprehension. It is FUNdamental. But never let such a thing interfere with exacerbated sensationalism triggered by words. Also keep in mind Bear Bryant was mentioned in the same manner as Hitler and Stalin. And bear in mind that this thread originated in the general section , NOT the Youth section. Easy to see why many posters who frequent that part of the board would find such a drill inadequate. No explanation necessary...."coach". Apparently one IS necessary for those that can't follow a thread. I challenge you to show me where the comment was used inaccurately. You won't be able to because it was spot on AND more importantly was not directed at the coach, but rather someone's RATIONALE for defending a drill. Why? Because a video of some guy that you like is being described as a bad football drill by quality football coaches such as Huey, Tog, Fantom, Spreadattack, and dare I say myself. I don't see any of those people attacking coach Potter. You are better than this.

Also known as sucking up, bootlicking, bum kissing, butt kissing, toadying.

Very good man….and you are right, I am better than this.

I have the utmost respect for Coach Potter. What he does for others off the field without expecting anything in return…admirable.

Who is "they" ... as in the "they" that are piling on the man. Is the above, "piling on"? or is it simply trying to steer the conversation away from "my dingus is bigger than your dingus" which so often can happen on here.....

Also, what does it mean to have 44 academic all-americans at the junior high level? Pop Warner has Academic all American awards for those that do well in school. Coach Potter really pushes academics and its not just lip service, he and his assistants put in time away from football and it pays off.

The validity of the drill was never my contention….the reference to Hitler opened things ups for the others ( they ). Didn’t bother looking at the Dave the Dentist thing either. Probably not all that complimentary but I’m assuming. Coach Huey…this is a great forum. Cant even tell you how much I glean off this site. So…I will go back to normal and not be a problem to anyone. I realize its got to be a tough job to moderate…more than I am giving credit.

I realize its got to be a tough job to moderate…more than I am giving credit. So-- you never bothered to watch the video. You simply saw the word Hitler (But don't forget Stalin...AND Bear Bryant) in a post and immediately jumped to a conclusion without even examining the context in which the name was used. (Which for the record was CLEARLY only mentioned to address the comment which attempted to validate the use of the drill with coach potters results) And please, show all the posts where someone is "piling on". I see posts where people are saying the drill is less than adequate...I see a post (mine) showing why it is a fallacy to simply validate things with results... I see some posts making fun of the drill...and a few posts making fun of the coach's appearance.

Dude - STOP! Mike backed down, but you just want to keep pushing?
Plus, you're making a fool out of yourself. Are you seriously trying to convince someone - anyone - that your reference to Hitler and Stalin wasn't even an implied slam on Dave Potter?!?!? I don't let my 6 year old daughter get away with playing those semantic games. Just stop it - you're not good enough with the written word to even TRY that crap. You made a comment, now LIVE WITH IT. You screwed up. Apologize and get on with your life. I'm sure it's not the first time you've stuck your foot in your mouth, and it won't be the last. Just try to have a clue next time before you start spouting off.
Nobody said anything about the coach?
We already covered Stalin and Hitler and your laughably juvenile attempt to squirm out of responsibility for your comment - I hope you hold your players more accountable than you hold yourself.
Tog made a post that the industry doesn't need coaches like that. Did you miss that one?
Not sure what the dentist video is, I'm not going to waste my time.
Is that piling on? Maybe not, but let's not just pretend that there weren't jabs at the coach over this. Several posters on here made a comment about a video without knowing what they were talking about, and when called on it, there's been nothing but backtracking and attempts at justification since. When did "oops, I didn't know the whole story, sorry about that" become something you weren't able to spit out? Isn't that kind of hypocritical, since I'm sure you're preaching that kind of accountability in the locker room?

Isn't that kind of hypocritical, since I'm sure you're preaching that kind of accountability in the locker room? No squirming necessary. Stick by my comments 100% because they weren't directed at this youth coach. As far as being made a fool...seems like the coaches who are on my level seem to get it. The hysteria shown here by a few youth coaches is disheartening to say the least. Hitler and Stalin never stood and yelled at two players wrestling over a football while the rest stood around and did nothing.. Tog is 100% correct..no need for this drill in our profession. Waste of time..what are the other kids doing while this is happening? Tog would say the same thing about Bear Bryant denying water breaks or bullying players... would he be wrong??? And PLEASE REALIZE, this is not suggesting that Coach potter is bullying players. This is suggesting that THINGS that SUCCESSFULL coaches do do not automatically make them worthwhile endeavors!!!!! Bottom line...the youth coaches are up in a tizzy because Jr High and above coaches commented on a drill used by a respected youth coach. The sad thing here is that the true meaning in this thread... the fact that this is a worthless drill in the opinion of several coaches...because a few youth coaches like the coach featured...and can't read. Finished here.
