Losers need to learn how to take their L and learn from it. Coaches need to learn how to coach their kids who are obviously better and kids who are obviously not. What is it that is happening in these games that you think is so egregious that needs to be regulated by some new rule? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion7000 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Running clocks are usually agreed on by the coaches with the refs before the game. Ex : You know your team is 0-6 or going against a powerhouse and you say hey ref if it gets out of hand 3rd quarter keep it rolling. Also long road trips are a factor too. If you’re not stopping backups then you take The Loss with some dignity! No matter what the score is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not of been raised in the country. That is a reply most country boys use when something is different than what they think. Sometimes we might add “red eye gravy” in place of grief. Like good red eye gravy. I guess I could have said “ oh gee golly what a bad man that coach is he is such a brute” and it would have been different. Just accept it and move on. I still stand behind my opinion and sometimes I am interpreted wrong and I am ok with. Opinions don't carry equal weight. An educated opinion carries a lot more weight than an off-the-cuff rant, at least in the minds of those that have taken the time to look into what's going on below the surface. Does a town of 500 count as country? Some of the old timers would say of Freer's 95-0 loss, "they looked like they'd been pulled through a knothole backwards."

The “mercy rule” in 6-man has less to do with keeping the score down than it does with keeping the games from lasting till daylight. And I would argue that kids aren’t being harmed by being on the losing end of blowouts. My team lost the last game I ever played 57-0 in front of a huge crowd in a college stadium, yet somehow I’ve managed to be fairly successful and have yet to be arrested. Maybe you’re making too much of the score thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying my opinion is more valuable than your opinion or anyone else. It could be your/my opinion today versus your/my opinion two weeks from now once we've educated ourselves on any topic. Those opinions originally formed when we've seen only the surface do not carry the same weight and/or value as those we have once we've informed ourselves. Nice try throwing in the political jab. That's when you know you've lost your way with something worthwhile to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
