In wisconsin public and private are the same. Private used to have own division, changed in 1999. Many feel private schools should have a multiplier or move up a division. In our lower division D7-D4 there are usually 2 or 3 private schools that win them, the same ones typically every year. D3 has a team that flucuates between D3 and D4, when in D4 they will win every year, while in D3 they will always be there, might not always win.
D2 and D1 have not have a private school champion-- no private schools in D2, only one I believe in D1.

Hey guys anyone here run a morning practice in season? If so how long do you practice for & when in the week do you do it? Without expressing an opinion either way: 1. How early? If it's before sunrise will you be able to practice under lights? 2. How close is your practice field to a residential neighborhood. If it's close, will the neighbors object to stadium lights, whistles, and general practice noise early in the AM? 3. Can all of your kids get there? 4. Can all of your coaches be there? A plus: It forces you to stick to a schedule. School starts when it starts so there won't be much, "Run it again". Can you get a trainer there at 5:00am? 6:00am? Can kids that need treatment prior to practice get it? if people tape ankles or anything like that, can that get done?

See, this message board isn't slower in the off season-- just need to bring up twitter and college coaches having more time... that stoked the fire.

I think a reason is because Twitter has become a place where people have the same convos that the board used to be the place for. My 2 cents.

I think because the old guard prefers the in person party a lot more than the actual clinic itself. The beer and the stories just aren't the same online. Wisconsin's clinic is more about getting away from your wife for a weekend and telling stories around the keg than it is about actual X and Os This! I always try to learn from the clinics, but the beer, bonding with the staff, seeing guys you used to coach with, telling b.s. stories. Those are all part of the experience as well. In my opinion, Glazier clinics are for learning, the state clinic is for bonding. Learn some, but meet up with some friends and enjoy the best part of coaching- the relationships.

Wisconsin has ours scheduled for June (typically march) We will see if it stays on or not. Coach I am assuming they are going to try for in-person then? Why not try virtual for a year?

Offense only has to win on a few plays to win the game. Defense can "lose" on one or 2 plays and lose the game. I think defense is harder. Also, on offense, I can choose where I hide my guys. If the defense is hiding guys, I'm trying to find those guys and attack them... and often times if they find the guys you are hiding-- there isn't a lot you can do about it.

Ours is not unique to us, as I know many have this same type of tradition... But we a giant rock by our practice field. We stole this from UW- Whitewater-- but each thursday 4 players swing at the rock. When we get to the point in the season where it could be the last game so either playoffs of week 9 when we still have to win to qualify, every senior swings and we tell them "Don't let it be your last swing" This year Wisconsin didn't have playoffs, but had a 2 game mini playoff-- no state championship. The last week of the season we knew it was our last week, which was a really unique feeling as I've never been in that spot before where you knew it was for sure the last game. But since there was no parents night, no mom's breakfast, no dad's night in the locker room like we have had in past years, I invited all senior parents to the rock for to watch their son's last swing. I gave a banger of a thursday night speech and then the kids swung. It was an awesome way to wrap up the season. We went out the next night and put 50 on the board to win our last game of the season. It wasn't an ideal season, but given the circumstances it was an awesome ending. What do you have them swing with? Sledge hammer. One of our parents patented an unbreakable sledge hammer. We have been using it for the past 6 years. It’s been awesome. We broke 2 Home Depot ones prior.

I guess I'm at a place where funding for hudl assist is easier to come by than help to do the tagging and live stats portion.

Post by Yash on Sept 9, 2020 12:06:18 GMT -6
My issue with paying someone to do just my games is that if I get a hudl assist game from 3 weeks ago... it has the data right now. Sure some of it is off, but honestly I can correct that as i watch pretty quick. If I had someone else break it down its at least an hour and thats saying they can start as soon as I get it. In the wild west of film exchange, sometimes you can find a game from someone on a Tuesday or Wednesday on some weird trade... well if I can get assist data right then, thats valuable. I dont' want to wait for my breakdown guy to have time to do it. Just my 2 cents-- others feel differently. Its all about what works for your staff.

We run a leadership class- each lesson is 25-30 minutes. I have a freshmen class which I think of as basically "intro to our program" what are the standards we expect you to up hold. Then I have an upper level class which is much more in depth and deep thinking. I choose 8 words that I think are important and I build a lesson around each word. So 8 lessons, each one building on the other- and I have a packet with questions pertaining to the lessons to spark conversation and get kids thinking about application. I have found that my upper classmen really look forward to these lessons. drive.google.com/open?id=1V2aj7U9P5bOLfeY8vlmX6BeHk6JWNUCYThere is a link to a zoom clinic on how I created our leadership curriculum.

Would love to look over and add to our program as well! email me at coachyash@gmail.com and we can share some material.

PJ Fleck was awesome again. He has a ton of energy and was great. James Franklin was also good. He spoke literally 2 hours before the bomb hit, so that was interesting. This year had less breakout/buzz sessions and more general sessions. I assume that was voted on or decided based off feedback, but it was a great time in Nashville. We missed you and the wife. jml has a ton of notes and he has another guy he said was awesome, but I had to miss that session. Bomb? Lawsuit that he overlooked hazing.

In Illinois the playoff field is not set until after week 9. The top 256 teams make the playoffs and then are placed by enrollment into 8 classes. Most conferences are a mix of schools who typically end up in different classes. Some conferences are a public/private mix. The biggest issue against districts is there are only a handful of big school teams in the St. Louis area and they would have to be in a district 300 miles away to even things out. Also, the public school football in Chicago is mostly atrocious and those schools would have been mixed with the Catholic powers. Which neither side wanted.
So what's the difference between districts and conferences? Typically districts means that you only play schools that would be in your division/ classification for playoffs. Conferences can have a mix of opponents from different division/ classification from a playoff perspective. Example: Our conference here in Wisconsin has teams that are either Div 2 or Div 3, with one team that is Div 4 (In wisconsin Division 1 is highest enrollments, division 7 is lowest) We are going to a plan next year that groups all conferences into 8 team conferences (7 conference games - 2 non-conf games) And they tried to balance all conferences so that teams don't play a team that is 2 divisions higher/ lower than them, although it still happens in a few limited spot.

I really like Xenith helmets. We have about 10 of them. They fit most kids, the sizing is a little different, but you can find sizes that fit. They are hard to order though with their buy direct only-- takes a bunch of emails and wait time to get quotes.
Until the newest line of Schutts- they have not fit my kids well, The F7 is the first one to fit a majority of my kids. The other lines would fit 20% of my kids where the speed/ speedflex would fit 95% of my kids. And I'm the one fitting them- so its not just the kids saying they don't fit.

Is there any chance you could call them and see the cost to keep storage space? Or how much more it would cost? My internet company did the same type of thing. Called them and $10 more old deal was restored. I don't think one person calling makes a dent... I think we need a mass movement/ request as coaches that is unified.

We would be all for the idea of not allowing additions to a season at its conclusion. It's funny b/c the price change doesn't upset us as much as the change in storage hours. I think very few are mad about price change. Most are mad about storage... And I think the biggest thing people are mad about is that old games count against storage. Its not the 150 hour limit--- its the old games counting and having to delete them, even if they aren't viewed or used often.

Question for all:
If Hudl gave you 20 hours per season for game film- and then locked that season at the conclusion of it so no changes could be made ( no adding to it) and then gave you your 150 hours, would you be ok with that?
At 20 hours you should be able to fit your entire season worth of games in there. Even at 3 angles you could probably fit that in an hour time slot.
Then lets say its July 1- your previous season gets locked and no more film is able to be added to that year. Can still make cut ups and all of that, play lists, but no more adding to it.
Would that be a compromise people would be ok with? I'm thinking of starting some sort of petition to get coaches to sign off on and present to hudl. If we had agreement on what we wanted from them in terms of game film storage, its possible that they consider it. More possible than the current complain and bash on twitter approach that is going on. I don't have a problem with price change- and I understand their issue of storage as if you look at any basketball account I bet they are over 200 hours of storage. Same with us on football- people abused the heck out of the game storage and are now complaining about it.

So, I'm wondering if other schools or programs are having the same issues we are with social media. Over the last three years, every single fist fight we've have has been spurred on by social media interaction. One of the fights happened between two basketball players when I was AD so I got to see the social media posts that fueled the fire. Needless to say, I was shocked by what the kids were saying to one another and I was no angel when it came to running my mouth at their age. They keyboard warriors were out in force before that fight finally broke out and the administration and I dragged all of the kids involved and their parents in to discuss is as we was trying to sort everything out. In the end, the two kids that actually duked it out were suspended for a few games but we actually kicked a kid off of the team who didn't throw a single punch. The chit he was spitting out over social media was way out of line and some of it was happening during school hours so the administration gave him a few days ISS and I booted him from the team. We had a multitude of other kids that were punished via detention, ISS, and consequences on the basketball team. But, what really bugged me about the whole situation was the fact that all but one of those kids showed back up to school with their cell phones. I ended up confiscating two phones a few days after all the consequences were laid out as they didn't turn them before my class started.. I had pushed for them to lose all cell-phone privileges in school but the administration wouldn't touch it as it would have "violated policy". In my three years here, I have pushed to change our policy to completely ban cell-phone use during the day. The kids can have them before school, at lunch and after school but that's it. No cell phone allowed in classes, PERIOD. But, I get push back from staff members over this as well.. I wish I had kids hard enough to actually get in fist fight. Can your staff go the entire day without their cell phones? Cell phones are not a teen issue, they are a society thing. I don't like to say issue because everyone acts like the cell phone is the issue when in fact its the person using it. Sometimes I think we place expectations and rules on kids about electronic devices that we as adults can't or won't follow.
