Not a fun travel schedule for Lufkin. Good heavens bless everybody's backs that have to ride the yellow dogs.

I think there are master programs based on coaching or athletic administration. (Could be wrong.) probably more tuned toward handling the responsibilities of being an AD rather than actual coaching. I can see how that could be a factor in a hire, but if you just need a masters in any field to qualify then it doesn't make much sense.

Yeah, people are trying to use this instance to justify other claims of recruiting but NS has documentation of their players and process showing they did it correctly. If any one claims they recruited the kids that came and went through the eligibility process (which would be a violation) They would need hard evidence to oppose the NS reports.

Which is legal. they didn't break eligibility rules. This happens all over even at schools that aren't powerhouses. The report states they played JV, after a calendar year at NS they would earn varsity eligibility even if they announced they moved for athletic purposes.

Not a violation to move for Athletic purposes but you lose that year of varsity eligibility. Playing on a varsity roster during that year is a violation. Transfers don't necessarily indicate recruiting violations happening, schools are allowed to receive transfers no matter the family's motive. Good programs will naturally draw in top athletes because the families want to see them play there and that is perfectly legal and their right. DEC are tasked with deciding if the move was for athletics to decide eligibility, this is where the debates happen bc they don't want to lose that year of varsity play. The violations occur when they play on varsity rosters if the DEC decides they are ineligible, or a coach/district employee contacting, persuading, or enticing a player to come to their school (recruiting).

So are you saying that he was fired or that NS is misleading the uil?

Lol you said he didn’t resign. His opening statement start with him saying he resigned

According to the hearing, you are wrong on this point

Does any body know what the applicant pool was like before Reyes?

Did anyone ever get a list of applicants?

I am so lost on the atmospheric atmosphere joke

on paper the balance looks good but logistically I feel like this COULD greatly increase travel times and cost.

records are window dressing. you sell yourself with your plan (prep, process, vision, community building and relationship etc.) Lot of great coaches with bad records, lots of bad coaches with good records as well. You try to find the ones "doing it the right way" for your best chance at success

Someone already said it but this is all gamesmanship. Trying to gain an edge wherever you can. Defensive backs are coached to grab at the hips and to bump arms to slow WRs down, Wrs are taught to push off with elbows and hands on the hip, linemen are coached to grab block body to body to cover up holding. Every sport has it, and every good team does it whether they are wearing certain color gloves or not.

Knee pads do nothing in terms of protection for a player, and pose no safety risk if improperly worn (eg. exposed should pads or back plates). Its nice that officials have moved on and can focus on more important rules than knee pads.
