images still not loading properly but may have solved the redirect problem ... i.e. if you click a link before the entire page loads you get redirected back to main page. think i found the glitch on this issue ... at least it didn't happen during my short test run.
let me know if others still having this issue.
and, still working to determine why the site has been unusually slow as of late

i'm trying to determine cause of problem.
at first, thought it was a specific html code on the main page ... but, can't seem to verify which one and beginning to think that isn't the problem anyway.
thinking now it has something to do with the image database at proboards as the quick reply images and some other images from proboards are not loading properly.
firefox takes the longest amount of time explorer seems to go quick but get more "redirects"
vista may have something to do with it but don't think that is the case.
i'm stumped, but continuing to troubleshoot

If you wish to close practices or limit parents make sure you are not superceding a visitor policy already in place. Have your AD use the same policy as the main school building...
Most schools have a policy where visitors (this includes parents) must check in at the main office to receive a visitor's pass before being given free reign throughout campus. If he really doesn't want parents to attend practices and is concerned that they really have no policy in place that can prevent it then he should "allow" parents but they must meet required policy of the school district as a visitor.... they must obtain a visitor's pass at the main office, THEN they are free to watch practice from a specified "safe area" outside of the practice field.
Define the safety areas as those where players, balls, equpiment would not come into contact with spectators ... all other areas are "team personnel only" areas as this area may not be "safe" for spectators and the school district is looking out for the visitor's safety.
This allows parents to view practice should they choose to jump through the SAME hoop necessary to visit their son's classroom. So, you don't have closed practices ... what you have, is an attempt to keep the school safe from walk up visitors that could potentially lead to a problem for students, coaches, faculty, and staff.
A visitor is allowed in a school freely (provided they met the check in requirements) as long as that visitor doesn't disrupt the learning process of any students or present a danger to anyone. Defining the spectator's area within your practice facility is 1) for visitor and player safety, 2) not to disrupt with the learning process. Set up your spectator area at a reasonable distance from the field and you're good to go.
Fall back on school policy and use it as much as you can

So I moved down the road. I won't work for a dictator. I also don't expect carte blanche. Everything that we do is subject to scrutiny from the HC and the rest of the staff. This weekend the HC is reviewing the tentative playbook for 2008. Not everything will make the cut. That's fine. It'll be a group decision, not an arbitrary one. I'll have a chance to state my case and will decide which are important enough to fight for and when it's time to cut bait. The point is that we will have a chance to talk it out. The point has been made that the HC's name is on the line. Bull$hit. I'm a professional. A lifer. My name is on the line, too. I'm not looking to make DVDs. I'm in it to win. I don't care about "moving up". I don't care about making a name for myself. If his ideas, or any ideas from the staff, further that cause, fine. I know that the man wants to win. There's no ego involved. That, I can live with. Running a 4-4 "because that's what I've alwys run" is silly. In most cases not close to his, see if he doesn't win, he needs a new job, employment and a new way to feed his family, Assistants on the other hand usually find work with the next boss or close to town.Your family lively hood doesn't depend on if you should go for it on 4 and 1 from the 49. you ain't from 'round here, is ya? ... ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) cus that's not how it works in these parts ... if the HC thinks he's the only one with something invested, and the only one that stands to lose something, then that man is sadly mistaken.

what size school is this?
is there not enough coaches to break the practice up into individual positions ... i.e. does every position have a coach?
are you trying to work the JV out with the Varsity (and/or also the freshmen?) ... is this why they don't want individual? drags out practice too long or can't get enough quality reps to make it worthwhile?
why do they not like individual? do you take that extra 20 minutes and tack it on to a group or team setting?
sounds, to me, like they are not being very efficient with their time, you guys have a lot of standing around (due to the long team periods) and it is 'easy' for those coaches ...
but, if you guys are winning, then i guess they don't feel the need ...

If you stop and think about it, as you stand on the field before the snap, there isn't a single play they can run that you are not already in position to defend. All you have to do is not F it up once the ball is snapped. I agree with this 100%. I have never understood it when I heard/read coaches saying "Well, you can't defend everything" . Why the hell not? Agree somewhat ... in that you should have players aligned to make most plays. While I won't go so far as to say you "can't defend everything" or you should be able to "defend everything" some defense are more vulnerable to certain things while having an advantage against other plays. For a small example ... cover 3 would make the defense more vulnerable to the hitch (double hitch from 2x2) but be much stronger vs the fade. cover 2 would be stronger vs double hitch but perhaps more vulnerable to the fade. Same thing applies to the offensive side as well. Sure, by rule you should be able to block every defense, or have routes that can be executed vs every coverage. However, some runs are better suited for certain fronts while tougher to execute vs others, same with pass plays. The key then is not to go "hard-rock mining" ... i.e. running plays against fronts that are harder to block when you could call a play where things go a little more in your favor. Likewise, if you wish to stop certain types of plays then be in those defenses that may be better suited for such. It all comes down to execution ... nothing shocking about that statement.... so, to help our chances with the execution part we want to be in defenses or offensive plays that can be executed more efficiently (i.e. easier blocks, easier reads, etc.) vs what the opponent is giving us or we expect them to give us.

for all you baddasses that feel this is not a good thing for a team to do ....
if you were the AD (or supt., or school board, etc. ... position of power) of this school, would you FIRE the coach because they lost and didn't make the playoffs because of an incident like this?

When spreading to the wide side, defenses are forced to only leave 6 in the box if they want to account for every receiver, unless they get rid of their safety. This is where high school hash marks make a difference in spreading out defenses. in both instances, there is no safety help into the boundary -- he's aligned in the mof. how good is the corner vs your receiver? how good is will in coverage? go-out or smash could be good (depending on how corner is playing). in the run game you now have an extra blocker for the perimeter even though sam was added to the box he is on the wide side - away from where you are going so of little factor -- not so much a factor in that you couldn't run boundary side here. but, without safety support the receiver is now free to block back inside to seal perimeter - trying to create the alley (edge of formation to X on the cornerback). so, in this instance - by how the defense aligned, not necessarily by the numbers in the box this formation is ok for runs or passes into the boundary. is it always good to do something like this? no, nothing is always good (well ... ;D -- that's another story). but, by just looking at "hey, we didn't spread them to get 6 in the box" without looking at support and alignment then you may overlook a chance to get a decent play... solid plays into the boundary from this set may force them to adjust safety alignment or go to a different coverage (support structure) which then creates other things to the wide side. all i'm saying is don't discount the value of a) running into the boundary and b) placing 2 receivers into the boundary.

6 in the cliche "box" or 7 your choice. how those players are aligned is more important than how many. what are their responsiblities within the defensive scheme/coverage is important. total numbers within a front are merely a small part of determining where to attack and how to attack it.

teach some games like "ultimate football" that are similar to ultimate frisbee. there are a number of variations one can use for this. set it up so that you play across the field using less than half. also, incorporate rules so that every type of kid could actually get involved. now, the "open field" can be several of these games going on at once. just provide footballs. it is basically kids getting out, running, catching, covering, being active together. it doesn't do much in the way of teaching them how to run your offense, how to tackle, how to do this or that. it is simply a way to provide an avenue for kids to bond, have fun, and get a little exercise with a football.

Like I said previously, I'm not talking about run or pass advantages. If you have tools to get the job done, you can run what ever you want. I'm saying certain formations help clear people out of the box better than others because of how wide one side of the field is and how short the other side is. that much is obvious ... but, at the same time how they choose to defend your "lack of spacing" on the boundary side can be beneficial to you. how do they declare force into the boundary? is there safety support into the boundary? regardless of the cliche "box" numbers, how is the defense aligned to defend a short side run? how does this affect their wide side support? i thought you were initially saying a spread team (or any formation, really) should not try to use a spread formation AND attack the boundary or, at the very least, should not attempt to put 2 receivers into the boundary.

i'm not following, reno ... in both examples drawn up you can get a run advantage into the boundary ESPECIALLY if you are running the QB.
are you saying one should never worry about putting 2 receivers into the boundary? or, are you saying that if they play certain defenses that 2 receivers into the boundary can be good?

Post by Coach Huey on May 15, 2008 9:18:53 GMT -6
another thing to consider when formulating your hash game plan is how a defense plays coverage/force into the boundary and to the field. some teams may NEVER invert a safety into the boundary vs 1 or 2 receivers. for these teams, see how the safety is aligned -- i.e. halves, quarters, etc. so, is the corner the force player or can the safety still be a force player. this may allow you to run into the boundary or even place 2 receivers into the boundary and get a numbers advantage in run game.
won't get into all the what if's ... just throwing out that you should consider how they prefer to play the boundary in determining what you choose to do over there.

comical ... media says what is an issue. people get worked up over 'issues'. politicians use 'issues' to their favor. comical ...
This is not someone breaking a LAW ... it is someone breaking a RULE. a rule within an organization not a rule within the government. it is a huge stretch to equate this breaking of a rule to some violation of any law.
to me, let the organization handle rules violators... government stick to law violators.

fyi for those thinking central washington would have won the game had the girl that hit the home run not been carried. final score was 4 to 2. so, take away her run (even though rules state that a pinch runner may be subtituted for her in such an event as an injury - allowing for her run to count) and the outcome would still have been 3-2.
this game was the 2nd of a doubleheader. western oregon (school of girl that hit the home run) won that game as well, 8-1. prior to this doubleheader, the 2 schools had already played 3 times this season with western oregon winning 2 of the 3.
why did the media really pick up on this? because they siezed the opportunity to say "team helps girl even though it cost them the game" ... when, that was not the case.

auburn ... again, not disputing that a playoff system is 'better' (or 'worse') ... and that it might actually increase overall revenue. but, it is not just about total revenue generated - it is about how that revenue is distributed. will a team that plays 3 postseason games receive more revenue than a team that plays 1? how will this affect the overall revenue of conferences? it is logical to conclude that even should the sun belt or mac or any of the lesser conferences get a team in the playoffs they likely not to play multiple games ... so if revenue based on number of games how does a playoff (vs a bowl) benefit them monetarily? again, the distribution of this new revenue becomes the issue. who gets what?? does each conference get roughly the same as they get now? do they get more? do they get less? what determines how each school 'earns' money (and, thus, how each conference gets money)?
not against 'your' system or your point of view. just understand that the distribution of this revenue will drive the decision making process. not saying it's right but that it is what it is.

coachj .. i'm with you on these points.
it is sad in that we (the fans) aren't treated to something such as the playoffs. however, i can understand the school's side of it in wanting the best financial package available to them. i may not like it or agree with it, but i can accept it as what it is.
sure, i think it would be great if there was a playoff. personally, might actually prefer it ... but, not disappointed in what we have now since i'm not totally invested in any one team or conference to the point where i lose sleep over one team getting a bcs bid and another not.
i don't want someone to construe that i am against any such remodeling of how the D1 postseason is done. i just realize the myriad of obstacles and the complexity of all things involved -- the greatest of which is the concern for money distribution.

actually ... umps were intially wrong is saying the team couldn't pinch run for her. they had ruled that if she was replaced with a pinch runner that it would only be a single. so, even with that ruling it wasn't an out and the 2 runs would stand. however, rules do allow for a pinch runner in that instance so the home run would have counted regardless of what happened. THIS story was small part ... as the media 'hyped' it by playing up how a team's sportsmanship cost them the game. didn't cost them anything. result would have been the same.

i like the arguement that the championship will all of a sudden bring in substantially more viewers ... uh, why? I guess you're addressing that in general, but I for one don't necessarily say it would bring more viewers. It would create more football, top quality at that, to be viewed. Hey, CBS ... we're gonna go to a playoff and it won't bring in any more viewers... but, can you kick in more sponsorship money? hey, i know you're still reaching the same number of people with your ads, but the QUALITY ... wow, you will be impressed with the quality of the games. the fans are gonna love it. now, there won't be more viewers or at least not significantly but i'm pretty sure by you spending more money you will get better returns since the quality is so much better. ........... great pitch to the networks. thank you for the public perspective ... and i agree with you on so many levels.... but, i realize this isn't about the fan's wishes ... not even about what all the coaches want (and, talk all you want, a playoff does the sun belt or mac very, very little good.) but, continue to stir the emotions of fans everywhere by saying how quality, importance, "it's on the field", etc.... which, by the way, is what the media does when trying to whoop up interest for a playoff... controversy sells and playing on fan emotion gets the topic discussed ... look at it here on this board. we haven't discussed one monetary reason why this thing should work yet EVERYONE speaks of "play it on the field", "wouldn't you be upset if they voted for your state champ", etc., etc. get over that hurdle and realize most here aren't for or against ... simply pointing out the obstacles in the way --- all the while, those things get swept under the rug and bypassed as we focus on the emotional points of the debate --- that's easier
