[quote=charlie22]I could be wrong but I'm guessing we've gotten to why DSR really would like the playoffs contracted: start basketball earlier or maybe even prolong the season. I'm beginning to think the basketball coaches/ADs are the ones pushing this contraction stuff throughout the state.

Sorry, but no. I love both sports. I do think football has been pushed back too far, and needs to be over by Tday NO MATTER WHAT format we have.
And while I suspect that many bkball coaches WOULD like to claw back
a little time for their sport, I certainly don't see any publicly commenting on it.
To my great suprise, I heard the legendary Bobby Keith say he thought it was GREAT the way it is with shortened bkball season in comparison iwth 20 years ago. Of course good as his teams were, he probably liked it because
it gave him and advantage.

But no, the reason I'm for contraction is PURELY because it
is better for the game. Period. All the blowouts and all the factors I
have continued to cite,give the sport a black eye. And the
don't do anything to improve or promote the sport, nor do anything
positive for either the maulers or maulees. Those opposed to
contraction can keep citing the #4 over #1 wins all they want.
But is doesn't change the fact that they are the HUGE EXCEPTIONS,
and that a HUGE BEAT DOWN is the NORM.
