the lies and deception that currently is, is just outrageous!!! The death of us all is found in diversity, equality, and safety.
Is there a "WTH" emoji we can use to reply to @grad17 's nonsensical, impossible to decipher posts to save time?
I think he is either a Russian bot or a Nigerian prince...

I dont like comments like "call the cops, swear out a warrant". Last thing we need is COPS policing football games. I say this as a COP. This should be handled by the governing board of the sport for the state. I can tell you that the kid in the black has suffered a concussion as a result of this game, not sure if it is this play. This crap happens for 2 reasons. 1. Bad coaching, 2. bad officials. The refs should have taken charge of this game. Games get out of control when officials dont police the game. Clearly something was going on because of the way the coaches ran onto the field. Agreed. Calling the cops in situations like this is never good for anyone involved.

The kid who got choked...he has a concussion, no? Was it determined that the concussion was caused by #76?
If the concussion was caused as a result of #76 attacking the other kid, I think stronger consequences are appropriate. At the very least, #76 needs some anger management or counseling.
Or, go old-school and do what my parents did when I was a kid and did something to hurt someone...drive him over to the other kid's house and make him apologize face-to-face!

The original post was about playing time in a freshman B game. So why did you post about varsity playing time? What does that have to do with the OP's topic? read the whole thread, dont pick and choose what your reading and will see why it was said You go back and read the thread. Your post was early in the thread. Don't try to hide behind the posts that came AFTER your post...a post that, for some reason known only to you, talked about how you allocate varsity playing time in a thread that was started about a freshman B game.

What did that kid do to #76? After 76 tackled him he kicked up, kicking him in the a$$ rather than the balls. Inexperience, I think. With patience, he would have eventually gotten a better shot at him. Got it. I'm obviously struggling with comprehension in this thread!

Yes. In the first elongated clip after they talk to the mom. He gets tackled on KO and the 76 kid stands over him and kicks right at the balls. 42 seconds in. Actually, he kicked him in the a$$ and he deserved it. What did that kid do to #76?

Did that happen? I didn't see that. Yes. In the first elongated clip after they talk to the mom. He gets tackled on KO and the 76 kid stands over him and kicks right at the balls. 42 seconds in. Oh. Ok. I thought you meant the kid in the black uniform kicked #76.

I guess we missed the part where the kid kicked him in the balls? Was it an acceptable response to that? Probably not, but you go kicking the jewels, something is going to happen. Edit- I didn't watch the whole video before I posted. Did that happen? I didn't see that.

I will not be shocked in the least to find out that the Waco University kids were instructed (or at least egged on) by their coaches to attack the Burleson kids.

I vehemently disagree. The OP said this was a freshman "B" game. The purpose of having freshman "B" games is so everyone gets to play! If you are fortunate enough to coach at a school that has enough kids tio even have a freshman "B" team, it is incumbent upon you to use that game to get ALL of your freshman players quality snaps. Playing to win? In a freshman "B" game? Are you serious??? pretty clear if you read what I said 19delta I am not talking about a freshmen B game. freshmen b game, may as well be pop warner, aau, usa football. put em all in. Im talking about a varsity contest, if you cant read thru the lines there,,,,,, The original post was about playing time in a freshman B game. So why did you post about varsity playing time? What does that have to do with the OP's topic?

I can't imagine too many situations in which a freshman is better than a junior, especially at QB. If a coach is going to pull the trigger on a decision like that, that freshman had better be Peyton Manning.

I'll re-phrase. If it was anything below the varsity level, I disagree with not playing all kids.

Had a fun email from a parent earlier this year telling us how junior was "hard working and competitive, even if he isn't the biggest or fastest" and it wasn't fair he didn't play much in the game that day. On the opening kickoff of that game, he ran backwards on kickoff coverage to avoid contact, finishing the play 45 yards away from the ball. I just...I'm not trying to be mean to people, but it's not fair to the 10 other kids on the field to put somebody out there who does that. If this was at the varsity level, I agree with you. If it was a freshman B game, I don't.

I am not saying it's the right way to do things but I personally think every kid that is in good standing should play every game at the lower levels. And at varsity the kids that have been invested in the program should be played as often as possible. If our sport is struggling with numbers, then we need to allow kids to experience the best part of it...playing. I know their is value in competition and winning but on the freshmen B team surely there is a spot this could have gotten in without ruining the outcome for everything. If he was a turd, I would have a different opinion but good kids deserve to play. Plus you never know what will happen to a motivated kids in over the course of a 4 year high school career. As right as you may be, i disagree. we dont have a participation rule, thats pop warner/aau/usa football. best kids play. rules for parents, we dont discuss playing time. you want to know why he didnt play, come to practice and watch him compete with the person in front of him. end of talk. as far as varsity kids being invested, yes they should play, in blowouts, homecoming games and senior night(if a senior) otherwise, win your battle with the #1 in your spot. im not going to pull a starter just to give little billy some burn because he came to 100% of the summer workouts. by the same token, i will yank a player for screwing up, starter or not. when you are evaulated on wins and losses, not for getting kids in games or sending kids to college, better score 50, give up 0 and win every game you can. not saying its right, but its reality in certain places. I vehemently disagree. The OP said this was a freshman "B" game. The purpose of having freshman "B" games is so everyone gets to play! If you are fortunate enough to coach at a school that has enough kids tio even have a freshman "B" team, it is incumbent upon you to use that game to get ALL of your freshman players quality snaps.

Rule 1: We never discuss playing time with parents. Explain this to parents at the first parent meeting and every subsequent parent meeting. Make sure admin knows this is your rule. It will save you a lot of time and problems. I'm always willing to discuss playing time (or anything else, for that matter) with parents. However, I preface the request for a meeting by warning the parent that I am going to be brutally honest and they most likely aren't going to want to hear what I have to say.

He also didn't have his helmet. That's a legit reason, of course. But what about the other games in which he didn't get to play?

Without knowing the context, it's a really ticky-tack call. Did not look to me like the kid was showing anyone up. Looked to me like a kid who made a great play and was really excited.
What is the rule in AZ about situations like this?

I'll take a little guy who is powerful, strong and understands leverage over a big sexy every time. My kid (junior) is about 200lbs. Friday night, we played the #1 ranked team in the state (smallest division) and beat them. My son (OG) gave up at least 50lbs to the kid across from him but still whipped his a$$. Of course, my kid also squats 500lbs, benches 315lbs, has a 29" VJ, and is a sectional qualifier in wrestling. Yeah, but I will take the big sexy who is powerful, strong, and understands leverage of the little engine that could Victor on a more serious note, the key is to recognize that it is about time and space. You are trying to block a certain space, at a certain time so that the defender can't make the play. Now it is great when you have John Hannah and you can block that space before that time, during the time after the time and generally just maul the defense. But when you can't just maul, you have to coordinate the timing of the blocks and not ask the OL to do things they physically can't do. A good example is the buck sweep. Not necessarily asking the guards to crush anyone but just kind of shield the defense. In that case, he would no longer qualify as a big sexy.

How do you use a light linemen like that? Especially when they can face a defender that could be heavier between 20 to 50 lbs? I might have to think about that possibility I'll take a little guy who is powerful, strong and understands leverage over a big sexy every time. My kid (junior) is about 200lbs. Friday night, we played the #1 ranked team in the state (smallest division) and beat them. My son (OG) gave up at least 50lbs to the kid across from him but still whipped his a$$.

Last night, the kids were running their warm-up laps and started singing the Marine Corps cadence song from "Full Metal Jacket"... While the AD was twenty yards away.. He was livid, especially because the coaching staff couldn't stop laughing. They must've practiced the song somewhere because all 40+ kids nailed it.. Edit: The HC hollered at them to knock it off and they did but one kid replied "THERE AREN'T ANY ESKIMO WOMEN HERE TO OFFEND!!" That is great!

I think that would be unnecessary. In my state, a 40-0 score would be a running clock in the 2nd half. The game is essentially over at that point. Put your subs in, keep running the ball, get that clock to 0:00 and go home.
But, there are always caveats. For example, years ago, I was a coaching in a game in which we were up something like 47-0 a few series into the 3rd qt. We had a running clock so we started subbing liberally. We had backups in everywhere and even some sophomores. The team we were beating left their starters in and completely sold out on the run. 11 dudes screaming downhill and just whaling on on backups and sophs. And then these guys and their coaches start whooping and hollering and talking $hit after every play.
So, the next time we had the ball, we called Power Pass (we were dub wing). The wingback was wide open on the post corner. No one within 20 yards of him when he caught the ball. He walked into the endzone.
Next series, we called a halfback option pass. Same result. Final score was 61-0 or something. The other HC says to me after the game, "Hey Coach...that was bush league, you throwing the ball and runnimng trick plays on us like that." I told him that we had subs in and were more than willing to run the clock out with power, trap, counter, and wedge but I wasn't going to let him tee off on my guys with his starters. He gave me one of those, "We will remember that, coach" and walked off without shaking my hand.

There are some awesome mascots in Illinois, although not all of the schools play football. Freeburg Midgets Tuetopolis Wooden Shoes Fisher Bunnies Plano Reapers Centralia Orphans (girls sports are the Orphan Annies) Effingham Flaming Hearts Codben Appleknockers Hoopeston Cornjerkers Polo Marcos Freeport Pretzels One of my junior high social studies teachers, a guy named Fred Willman, wrote a book called "Why Mascots Have Tails - The Illinois High School Mascot Manual". It's a great read for anyone who loves local history and high school sports.

Lol! the Polo Marcos is ridiculous. Seems like a bad fictious team name in a spoof style movie. Hilarious. I love it. New favorite team They are in our conference. Going to 8-man football next year. We play them Week 9 this year. Hope they still have enough guys to play.

How about putting the sled on a couple pieces of 1/2" waterproofed OSB? That would distribute the weight. You would probably want to waterproof the OSB. Might need to put a couple 2x4s across the top to keep the sled from getting pushed off the OSB.

It's almost poetic. We were a Double Wing team 3 years ago and we knew this kid was coming up through the pipeline and the HC asked me to put together a different offense (This was when we thought he'd be the QB) and now here I am 3 years later hoping I'd finally get to utilize the skill set of the person that was the reason I learned and installed a completely different offense. We'll be fine though.
I hope you will be wiscoach , good luck.
Hopefully your HC has learned something from this experience.
I'll own it...I'm the a-hole in this thread!
