There'd probably be a snowstorm and he wouldn't be able to make the interview. In all seriousness, Wooden was crooked as hell like so many others, but he was the most protected coach in NCAA history. Had he come here, some douchenozzle like George Dohrmann would have exposed his bag man years...

I know I'm replying to an old thread here that's been bumped up, but we went to the high school semi finals there, and yeah, it's ridiculous how that place was constructed. Great venue once you're in your seat, but moving around is a mess.

Larry Eustachy sat in the announcing booth for a short time during a preseason tournament either last season or the season before. He was clearly drunk, and it was sad and embarassing.

There is no question that had she wanted to, the late Pat Summitt could have coached any basketball team in the country regardless of gender. But there aren't a lot of Pat Summitt's around period.

Bob Huggins!

While it was pre-NIL, I think this was the main reason they couldn't/wouldn't keep Tracey Claeys as head coach. He was not the kind of coach who could sell anything to anyone. There was also the sex scandal thing with the players, but I think he knew the writing was on the wall even before he...

Hopkins is so regularly brought up when we discuss these things. I just realized they play an independent schedule in hockey - not a Lake Conference schedule. I realize this is off topic, but should they be in that conference at all?

Not really. Fleck recruits and retains a certain type of player that fits his mindset and system. And generally, it works. And I would suspect that as a result, he's able to get people to donate NIL money. The team wins more than they lose, they don't cause problems, and Gopher football is a...

Nothing like a dumbass just joining the board and acting like he runs the place.

If that's even true, there had to be about a hundred or more more qualified black candidates to coach this team than CBJ.

Or essentially, you do a promotion and relegation system.

1. I know. I figured someone would bring that up. 20 years is a lifetime. 2. The tough part about this, is that the youth/feeder programs aren't directly tied to the high school program in most cases, and can be run drastically different even in districts in the same youth league. The youth...

Hockey did do well TV-wise when they had their own contract with then Fox Sports North. The WCHA schedule was like clockwork - they played Friday and Saturday nights at the same time almost every week. You could go into any random bar with TV's and there was a good chance you'd see Gopher Hockey...

St. Louis still has the dome the Rams played in. In case anyone was wondering, MLS currently ranks 9th in terms of league strength on the world stage.

Yes, and so if you do the math backwards, it's just under 1050 for real enrollment for 9-12. >50% for free and reduced for Albert Lea is pretty high.

I can admit when I'm wrong. I think you're right - the DoE numbers must be 8-12 because I did the math wrong. Based on this, it's somewhere just under 1050 in 9-12.

That may be, but that isn't how the high school league determines enrollment. They only count 9-12. There are small districts where the school is K-12 but that doesn't matter for this. I literally showed the formula, which was within 6 students.

Correct. The numbers in the link in the very first post in this thread from the MSHSL site are adjusted for free and reduced lunch. The numbers in the table I posted are the actual, non-adjusted, enrollment numbers for the current 2024-25 school year from the department of education. So to use...

That just feels so subjective. You don't have to go back that far to when Burnsville to name one, was a powerhouse in football and hockey. And some of these schools are still powerhouses in other sports, despite the reduced lunch thing - Hopkins and Park Center in hoops.

A You mentioned Albert Lea. Albert Lea is 50.67% reduced lunch. 1196-363 shows an adjusted enrollment of 833 just doing the math. The high school league adjusted number for Albert Lea is 827. So pretty damn close. It's not an 8-12 number. That's the difference between real and adjusted numbers.
