Trying to get excitement and morale up while knowingly breaking the rules. Suspension warranted.

The players probably knew it was wrong so how is that helping them better the program?

smh

Rules were broken yes. Punishment is warranted yes. I personally believe they should have been a harsher punishment. The head coach didn’t act alone and fit all the kids for shoulder pads and helmets. He didn’t run the practice by himself. All the coaches should have some type of punishment.

My question is why only 5 and 6A allowed to have full contact in spring?

5A/6A have larger numbers of athletes that don’t play spring sports, therefore they have the participation to conduct functional practices.

You get to have 18 practices if you do spring ball and the sacrifice is starting a week later in the fall.

Really helps set your rosters before you break for the summer.  Allows you to conduct meaningful football skills during the summer as well.

I dont think there's ever been a ground swell at the 4A level to have it and certainly not below that

I guess the question would be if all the coaches are suspended wouldn't that hurt the kids and potentially other programs?

How would you punish the other coaches?

If you suspend them from football coaching duties, you have effectively killed the season for the players.

Some kind of probation?

They all don’t have to be suspended at one time. They easily could stagger the suspensions amongst all the coaches. For an example OC week 1 DC week 2 ST Week 3 all the way to position coaches on how many coaches they have overlap and be down 2 coaches 1 week. Plus mandatory UIL rules training and being placed on a 2 year suspension or something. 
 

Thats method won’t kill the program or anther teams program at all.
