Noble!  I wish that I had that self control and common sense.  OH NO - I feel compelled to wade in there. :D  :D

Good article, Bob.  Do you have someone in mind to try to get as head coach?  And, most important of all, how's your golf game"

  Well hell, why not hold out for Phil Jackson?

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1424424" timestamp="1376574281"] On THAT note, the truth is that high school kids CANNOT GUARD man to man for the most part.  Smart high school coaches KNOW this and will often change up defenses in order to keep opponents guessing...I do not REALLY like zone defenses, but I TEACH them because I would never want my guys to see zones and become like "deer in headlights"...The key is to play a variety of zones, and emphasize the importance of staying aggressive while playing them and not get relaxed. If Nederland played man for 32 minutes they would not win a game...But at the same time with all of Central and Ozen's athleticism, if they played man for the entire game, they would struggle greatly as well...Pressing by some schools (i.e. Silsbee and Yates) can disguise the fact  that kids don't really guard, but if teams stay in presses too long, most of the time they will eventually get adjusted to them and they will no longer be effective or AS effective...Just my two cents.. 8) [/quote] It's been a while, Dickie V.  Welcome back.  This is GOOD STUFF.  You seem to have matured in your absence.  But, of this I am sure, I will disagree with you somewhere along the line. ;D 8)

No question that the young man is AN ATHLETE!  Maybe a bit undersized for a college LB, maybe not possessing all the skills of a college QB - but he can play IN SOME POSITION SOMEWHERE.  I'd have him on my squad anytime because he's not a specialist; he's just a PLAYER.  Wishing you good fortune in college young Mr. Quirante.  And remember, college is for the education that you will use after college. 8)
