How are they changing it up at lower levels? The state dictates the class we play in regardless of a school's success?

I agree with you that 6A football is dying, but I think you are missing the point on why. It's not just 6A that's dying. Football is dying at every level. I've been coaching for over 25 years and the numbers of players in our program and programs all around us are plummeting. It's a societal...

Not possible. This stupid drop coverage is putting Gobert in an absolute no-win situation. Give Doncic that easy 8-10 foot pull-up or step up and get a dunk behind you.

You may be right. I wouldn't call myself an NBA expert by any means. I know that Horford and Porzingas are not as athletic as Lively and Gafford, so I don't think they can handle them inside, but I guess it'll depend on how Boston's wing players can guard. It's not like Edwards and McDaniels and...

If they are playing like this, absolutely. Is Porzingas going to be able to play? If so, how effective? How does Boston protect the rim with only Al Horford inside? I will guarantee that Boston will make Irving and Doncic actually work on the defensive end, so maybe that will slow their...

Well, we did lose the 1st 2 games by a total of 4 points. If Doncic and Irving are gonna play like this, there isn't a team in the NBA that can stay within 15 pts.

I really don't understand the offensive or defensive gameplans coming into this series. Let's let Doncic and Irving come off of high screens uncontested and dictate the play. If the role players are drilling 3's, then they deserve to win, but Dallas is having no problem forcing the ball out of...

Like Jokic said after the Wolves finished them in Game 7. "That team was built to beat us." The Wolves aren't built to handle athletic bigs and two dominant guards that Dallas has. I would NOT blow it up and start over. I've lived too long to see another redo. They need to get better as...

He really is. Minnesota went with the twin towers concept and it seemed to be working, but this whole series, you have a 7-footer being guarded by a 6-7 PJ Washington and you sit on the perimeter and just jack up 3s? This is when Towns needs post up isolations. He has a 5" height advantage! And...

Because the Wolves don't have an offense. There is not direction, or movement or anything. They try to pick and roll, but nothing happens on it. They only do it to get a switch. It's all 1-on-1 basketball.

This is exactly why I tell all my friends that I can't take the NBA seriously.

If all you can offer as a 7-footer is to be a 3-pt set shooter, then you can't be the #2 player on a championship team....

Oh you would be shocked to know how many teams reissue equipment and have padded practices against other schools. And I'm talking from small outstate schools. I am sure the metro is no different. I know of a school we play during the season that scrimmages 4-5 other teams during the summer and...

One thing that many of you probably aren't aware of is that football is treated as a WHOLE different animal than any other sport during the summer. I guarantee that many high school football teams are violating MSHSL policy with their summer football camps and practices. (Edited below to add...

The spring coaches at our school and EVERY other small school around us that I know ABSOLUTELY despise things like JO and AAU. They are destroying sports like track and baseball and softball at small, rural schools. I lose football a couple football players every fall to play in basketball...

Schools could do that, but then they would be banned from post-season play since that is run by the MSHSL. When schools join the MSHSL, they have to abide by all by-laws. As far as I understand, the MSHSL still can be overruled by the legislature, but they are the governing body of high school...

I like that plan. Allow teams to schedule a more challenging schedule if they feel confident. Or pick up rivalries that may be missed because of section schedules and changes.

More classes? Let them have 6 classes in the Metro, I don't care. They went to district football because there were a handful of 6A teams that nobody wanted to play. The MSHSL answer? Force all teams into district football because they wanted ALL classes to be the same. I was in those meetings...

This is exactly the problem with the MSHSL. They don't care about the best team winning state UNLESS it's 6A football. The football coaches were told directly that 6A playoffs is and WILL BE different than for all other levels. But of course when 6A schools were bitching about not being able to...

This team has a SEVERE lack of talent right now. The eye test doesn't lie. Anyone watching the games this year compared to the last 4-5 years can see this. Anyone that says they still have talent is just being dishonest...
