Yes, just opinions. MattStepp: Yes, I agree, the UIL would lose this battle. I just want consistency. Just open it up then. I have seen athletes be public with their desire to transfer, transfer and then get to play. I have seen a parent make one comment about the disapproval of a program that costs their athlete a year of eligibility. RETIREDFAN1: Why do you disagree with #1? We are just about the only State that has not opened it up to non-employees. There are some great men and women living in our communities that are not educators that could greatly influence our athletes. #2, Coaches are allowed to train their athletes during the summer. I am saying go back to when we didn't allow this. Open the facilities up to the athletes for use, but let it be player-led.

1) Allow schools to hire (stipend only) up to 4 coaches that are nonschool employees to help with the shortage. NOTE: Cannot serve as a Varsity Head Coach. 2) Eliminate coaches being able to coach/train their own athletes during the summer. If you can't hold the athletes accountable, then what's the point? 3) Simplify the transfer process and rules. If an athlete transfers after entering HS, then they must sit for half of the season no matter the reason for the transfer. Also, they are not allowed to participate in the game that is against their previous school if there is one. Which ones do agree or disagree with and why?

You are about to redo an athletic weight room, who do you go with and why? I know ProMaxima is significantly cheaper. Mainly looking for comments on longevity, issues, and maintenance.

Most will lift 3-4 times per week. Full body 3 days a week.....2 Upper / 2 Lower if 4 times a week. Not much competition (unless you count competing against the weights) and not much true SPEED work being done. Sorry running 20 40's in 10 minutes is not going to make you faster. This is what I recommend for SKILL kids: Mondays: Speed day (Lots of rest between reps) and Upper body weights Tuesdays: Lower Body (A lot of single leg lifts, Lunges, step-ups, ect) and Finish with Conditioning Wednesdays: Competition or Skill work Thursdays: Quickness day (Bags, Speed Latter, ect) and Upper body weights Fridays: Heavy Legs in Weight room (Squats, Power Clean, Dead Lift, ect) and finish with conditioning A lot of programs are not following a science based program. I hate to use the term, "OLD School", because there are a lot of poitives about being Old School, but the offseason programs is not one of them. Heard SMU's strength and conditioning coach speak and you should have seen how many Old School guys were in shock about what he was saying.

I hope I am wrong.......but he will probably make his money and run for the hills in about 2-3 years.

The answer is year round offseason that everyone takes part in. During football and basketball season, you get your Varsity kids 5 days per week. Sub varsity kids you get three times per week, the other 2 days they will go through offseason. Outside of your season you will go through 5 days per week of offseason. The exception is baseball and track. Everyone will go through offseason except on gamedays or track meets. Special workouts for pitchers in the offseason program. Closer to the district track meet, the track athletes will get out of offseason the week prior to the district meet. Now here is the most important part.........the offseason has to work for all. Which means, during b-ball season, when the sub-varsity goes through offseason, they are not doing legs. They are getting plenty of that during basketball. They need to be working on upper body strength. During football, they are doing a recovery weightroom workout on Friday's and lifting medium weights on Mondays. The offseason program has to be more than lifting and running. It has to be competitive. I have seen more kids quit football, not because of the sport of football, but because of the offseason that football players go through. If other sports offer an easier alternative, the kid is very tempted to give up that other sport. If the kid has to go through offseason not matter what sport he plays, then he will likely play ALL the sports he loves.

I agree he would be a very good fit.

We all know PT has issues. I think it is funny that everybody thinks getting a guy from a program like Henderson, Carthage, Whitehouse, etc could be the key. Have you seen those teams athletes when they take the field? The problem is that most coaches that could probably get this job will soon find out that it is a lot more work than what they expected. They will run for another job in 2-4 years when their way of doing things doesnt work. Even if a coach turns the program around, they will probably jet out of there as soon as they can. "Turning PT around".....how good is that going to look on the resume? Another point.....the $90000+ starting salary may have just set PT up for failure. There are a lot of good RESUME coaches out there that are now interested in the job so they can get PAID. Hopefully PT's interview process will bring to light these guys and not give them the time of day.

I guess you mean highest scoring State Championship Game. I know 2 games off hand that were higher. Mt Vernon 60 vs Royse City 70. McKinney 64 vs Dension 65.
