Ummm... I go home then and spend quality marriage time. I can't begin to express how much the phrase, "quality time" drives me crazy. All time is equal regardless of how we choose to spend it. Then you have no idea what I am referring to as "quality time"! Trust me, that time ain't equal to other time!!

Seriously - with all the Blowback from NFL on down to youth leagues and its impact on participation - you're showing film of Helmet to Helmet contact to get them "excited"?
Not to mention the potential for catastrophic injury and finding yourself in a courtroom trying to defend your practices. We don't TEACH that, but as Forrest Gump says, " {censored} happens"!!!

Time before home games gives me the opportunity to start tagging film for the team we play next.
We don't exactly watch our kids the whole time but we know where they are and check on them.
They play music in the locker room.
They have quiet time in weight room.
They sleep in the wrestling room.

No doubt that will be an effective defense.

We play at 7:30, a lot of seniors are out of school by 12:30 or 1:00, so we let them go home and do whatever they do when they are out of school. Have roll call at 5:45 or whatever for guys that are getting taped, etc. but they do whatever they do in the time between school ending and roll call.

I've been places where if you let them go, there is no telling what condition they may return in....

We'd have 10-20 come back high on that funny grass if we did that

I've coached at some pretty tough places but I've never been at a school where we couldn't trust our guys to go for an hour or so after school without getting high.

I had it happen once at a really poor rural school and even then it was 2 guys. 1 didn't play and was a jacka$$ the other started and let the jacka$$ influence his decision. Anyway, it happened that one time and never again. I can see it both ways and if you have the means to keep kids after then that's great but we couldn't feed them there so we had to let them go.

Very poor rural school is us. We have to keep them. 1 don't know if they'll get back or when or in what condition. 2 no guarantee they will have eaten anything prior to 7pm if we don't keep them and feed them. Welcome to South rural Georgia.

I love game days. Our HC likes to eat(6'6/330) so he orders the best pregame meals. After our meetings the JV coaches watched the team and the rest of us hang out in the coaches office telling stories and joke, filling in any new coach on something funny one of us did or a player player did in the past. It is nonstop laughter. We don't talk about our opponent during that time we just hang out drink a redbull and eat gummi bears. Would not trade that time for anything and actually helps our staff get closer and work better together.

I think this is one of those discussions where we try to define the blurry lines between doing whats best, for the team, teaching the kids to behave responsible, and helicopter coaching.
If we don't want the kids to go off after school before the game because they might take drugs or do something stupid, then to what extent do we let them go at all without keeping track of them

We've had a couple issues over the years but it happens about once every 4 or 5 years. We were not a rural school, most of the kids lived within a few miles so getting them back wasn't an issue.

Never shown "hype tapes" before games, but I do like to show random stuff. Like last year when a kid walked in with a trucker hat on and I started calling him Sea Bass. Most guys hadn't seen D&D so we watched the diner scene. Had a kid we called Mongoose a while back so we watched "Mongoose vs ______" videos for an hour one time.
Anything to keep pre-game light is good imo.

I got an interesting hype tape pre-game story.
About 5 years back was my first year at a new place as a varsity assistant, maybe 2nd week of the season and only two people, the HC and RB coach had been there before (so most of us were new to the HC's process). Now the HC kept the kids there all day during game days; we ate our meal, reviewed depth charts, scouting reports, etc and there is still a ton of time before we even need to think about getting geared up.
So the HC grabs a DVD out of his stack and throws it in, the movie is "300". Okay cool, dude getting kicked into a pit, little kid fighting an animal, whatever. Well about 5 minutes in the HC gets a phone call and steps out of the room, and is gone for a while. Few minutes later I start to remember there is quite a bit of sex and nudity in this movie, I turn to the OC and ask if he know where the HC went and what is going on? He don't know, but then I realize we are the only two adults in a room full of teenage boys with a graphic sex scene about to be displayed. I hop up and go stop the movie (to the groans of all the team), "sorry guys, but I don't think thats the type of 'fired up' coach wants you." I say.
HC comes back a little while later and I point out he may need a new movie collection for the class, more importantly we won by like 30- so I guess the movie worked.

Here, until last season, some away games we had to travel almost 24 hrs, Brazil is a big country. Nothing like go thursday night, arrive friday evening, do the check in the hotel and sleep. We needed to start to check almost every room because players could lose some sleep playing LoL or whatever.
What is worst is wake up, check out from the hotel and find a cheap place to eat, eat like whale and go to the stadium. The locker rooms here could remind the toilet one from the first Saw movie. Heck, one game we didnt even had one so we took shower at a random gas station on the way back. So no place to nap.
That time after lunch and before the game looks like forever. And some idiot is always dressing late and missing to warm up with his mates, driving everybody crazy. Or johnny somebody forgot a mouth protector, belt, anything like, asking you like the {censored} in the boots from Shrek to help him.
