    whether the coach was out of line and terrible to play for or not, MV just set the precedence that the kids and parents will run things. Admin will give the complainers their wants

    Good luck hiring anyone worth anything if and when this job comes open. Who wants to work somewhere that if enough complain, they will get their way.

    I’ve been on the sidelines for many, many high school games, many of them blowouts, and I’ve only heard a coach deny the running clock once, and it was because he was trying to teach his kids a lesson. 

    A lot of times it is for film purposes. Coaches can see more and show their kids more against some juggernauts JV or second strings. More clock equals more film. You still have to grow your programs, even in lopsided affairs. 

     

    A lot of the time coaches know what they are walking in to. They are prepared for that, but you still have to get quality reps and minutes out of it. Just because you are getting smacked doesn't mean that you get out of there as fast as you can. 

     

    But, there is a time and a place to run it. If the other coach asks for it, just do it. 

     

    "What goes around, comes around" is 100% true in coaching. If you are making an effort to be respectful and trying not to show anyone up, the other sideline or bench can see that. But if you don't, every school in Texas is about to get your film 🤣

    If they take away the first 3 district games and the last 2 games count then Westwood would finish 3rd or 4th in district. If the finish 3rd they will play Anahuac in the first round then either Franklin or Hallettsville in the 2nd. If they finish 4th then they would play Orangefield in the 1st round then either Troy or yoakum in the 2nd round which in all honesty is the best route to go. If they get 3rd then they will have to go through the big 3 to get to state (Franklin round 2, Columbus/Hitchcock round 3, then Hitchcock/Columbus round 4).

    That third place side of the bracket sounds awful for everybody.

    Assuming the scenario was forfeit the 2 district games that we already played, I think 3-2 might still be a multi-way tie for first in this district. It's a scenario I don't really want to see play out, but it's better than the worst-case scenario that we are currently caught up in.

    Wow that is insane. What a mess that would be. No offense but I hope it doesn't end in a tie, if you think things are messy now, just wait until these other teams see that you STILL could win the district. 

     

    I hope it all works out for you guys. I know some of the coaches at WW pretty well. Rooting for you.
