You have a point......

Hmm...... Interesting....... Late, late, late and not really an attractive job. How dies this play out?

[Hidden Content] Remind me why not? Hooker is a DUDE!!!

Understood, but I'm not a fan of "people" besmirching the good name of a great baseball coach. Keyboard warriors who hide behind screen names and talk bad about coaches should have their......... Now, with that being said, who is on the short list?

Expound???

You and Coach85 must be butt hurt about something. PN-G would be lucky to get him to come back. As good a baseball coach as there is in the State.

Expecting a full report with player and coaches evaluations.

Definitely a conundrum.

Is there any correlation between the success in Football and the lack of success in baseball? Or, is Jasper just in a low spot as far as baseball talent is concerned?

Thank you, I appreciate that. What is probably ironic is that I am a football coach. I'm just in the minority when it comes to my approach to a lot of antiquated (IMO) ideas.

Strength, flexibility and range of motion SHOULD be mandatory in EVERY lifting program. However, we all know that is not the case. Pitchers should definitely be on a different regiment than other athletes. Arm care is serious business. Too many football coaches fail other sports because they simply do not care. There are ways to build strength and power and explosiveness that do not compromise the baseball players ability to throw or the basketball players ability to shoot. Unfortunately, too many football coaches are too lazy to find those alternative options.

Coaches can't be in the dugout to coach, but the coaches are setting the schedule. The coaches are organizing it. The coaches are setting the lineup in advance. The coaches are determining who is pitching and how many pitches they are throwing. Fall baseball is like 7 on 7. The coaches may not be calling he pitches or the plays, but they are in "control" of the situation and they are present and "observing."

Can you expound on this statement?

I think you would be surprised. It is not publicized, but most schools that want to be good at baseball play fall baseball.

I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!

No Sir Non Contact Drills, probably not a big deal. But even 7 on 7 with pads or just helmets is a recipe for disaster. Non padded 7 on 7 in a controlled environment, maybe.

So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

Yes, yes there is.

I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

Hmm..... I tend to disagree. I was a multi sport athlete in High School and am now a coach. Kid is not going to be a very good hitter if he only hits in the spring and summer, I took BP and threw (to keep my arm in shape) during football and basketball season. Kid is not going to be a very good QB, WR or DB if he only throws passes, runs routes or covers receivers in the fall or during a few 7 on 7 games after baseball is over. And a kid is never going to be good shooter of the basketball if he only shoots during the basketball season. Skills are honed, not mastered, they need to be developed and practiced repeatedly.

Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports. If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be...... And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?

Just curious, did Randy Rowe apply for this job?

Do we have a run-down of Coach Harrison's accomplishments?

The job has been posted since he was named interim, in fact the OC job was actually posted by Reyes and he was in the process of calling people for interviews before he got the Palestine job.

Now, who is he going to hire as his OC? What direction is Lumberton going to go in Offensively?
