    Two Officials for JV Game

    I was referring to arbiter in the past tense as its not used anymore for ohsaa, you are correct. And I accepted a baseball scrimmage which I was listed as the only umpire, which the dollar amount was not included, until about 2 hours before the game. When I re examined and seen the amount, I...

    Two Officials for JV Game

    A.D's can manipulate dragon fly and arbiter. Some A.d's will assign themselves or a staff member as third member of a officiating crew in football, and they have no intentions of having that person actually officiate and takes them off an hour before the game.

    Two Officials for JV Game

    In baseball for scrimmages shady A.d's will assign 1 and not put the pay on the dragon fly contract. Then attempt to pay normal rate. So if normal umpire rate is 75 and its supposed to be 100 if solo, A.d will still attempt to pay 75, i've fought this several times with several A.d's, I now...

    I've known guys who have done this, if I refuse to officiate b/c there is only two, do they still have to pay me?

    Two Officials for JV Game

    Some AD's will lie telling officials there are 3 (only schedule 2), then not pay the additional money for not having a third. They will try to do this is baseball and softball as well. I've heard similar stories in Volleyball but do not officiate that sport. Officials talk to one another and...

    Girls Flag Football sanctioned HS sport in Pennsylvania

    IMO, we don't need anymore sanctioned sports to water down the already dwindling participation and competitiveness in this state. Our school structures are not big enough for so many sports.

    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    hungry sophomores that are nipping at the starters spot make the best scout team players. I loved it when we had to tone down sophomores on scout team

    Varsity/JV practices - combined vs. separate

    I would take the upper level sophomores and practice them with the varsity and have the rest of jv and freshman practice together, then rotate kids up and down as needed for practice and games almost like a baseball farm system. Obviously this sounds great but would take some work.

    Top recruit daring OHSAA to suspend him

    I think back to when I was in high school and all the coaching and high school sports involvement I have and I don't ever remember a kid whose #1 sport as football, ever not playing another sport because of wanting to solely focus on football. I can't say the same for other sports, but I can now...

    Top recruit daring OHSAA to suspend him

    This 7 on 7 nonsense will do nothing but harm middle sized and small school sport further. There will be cases of schools losing their second best outfielder or infielder because he has been brain washed into thinking playing 7 on 7 will lead him to scholarship that will likely never happen...

    Top recruit daring OHSAA to suspend him

    Ohio is not a mega school state, we are a state made up of small school districts. Our d1 schools are probably big medium sized schools in most southern states. In NC our d 3 and 4 schools would be in the smallest division. And down there at over 50% of those school spring ball is pointless...

    Average Tenure of Head Football Coach

    The irony of this example is the science, math and even P.E have to take some of the same high level prerequisite classes as the pharmacist and premed and the certification test we had to teach were no joke either.

    Youngest head coaches in the state?

    They passed that in a attempt to water down the quality of teachers in state , to push private schools, vouchers, etc and to weaken Ohio teachers union overall. Republicans in this state are playing the long game in trying to make us like the south, if you lower the standards of the overall...

    Youngest head coaches in the state?

    And yet you go up throughout the state there are teacher RIFs occurring and 10 plus applicants for most teaching jobs. The big city schools may have openings but not majority of school districts in Ohio who are struggling to pass levies, etc. I would'nt call it a shortage but a surplus of bad...

    Youngest head coaches in the state?

    It's not struggling in Ohio (especially teaching), there is a just a compensation problem in coaching. I really don't care its not a hill I am willing to die on (referring to my 25 to teach). I played professionally (NFL/AFL) for a couple years and basically had to rewire my entire brain and how...

    Youngest head coaches in the state?

    His old man is the DC (who basically ran the team last year) and his entire extended family was the staff the last couple of years, he will be fine. But I do agree, todays age of social media, etc teachers and coaches need to be a minimum of 25. I think about my first coordinator job when I was...
