Oh. I LOVE this. I didn't even know these posts were here. OK, let's get this straight, this is an OPINION Board. It's Social Media! First and foremost, everyone gets on sites like ours and hides behind a fake moniker, and then people get on a site like this and if they disagree, they get their feelings hurt. I would suggest that adults act like adults and accept that opinions are life.

As for my comments, my comments hold 100% validity. Why, because I am a High School coach! I get it! I'm not just speaking from an intelligence standpoint, but I am speaking of a factual direction of all High School programs I promise you, no I guarantee you, that every coach in your school GET'S IT! We build programs! We build varsity PROGRAMS! We play Freshman on our Varsity squads and have to listen to the parents of the upper classmen complain about it! We also do not care what the record is of our Freshman or JV teams. We understand that Wins and Losses at the Varsity level is the only place that records mean anything - ANYTHING. We look at development of our younger classes and improvement. We push for improvement, because WE MOVE THOSE PLAYERS UP!

Again, this is a message board, this is where we all share our feelings. We WILL NOT talk about individual players by name, but if you don't want to hear anything negative, or TRUTHFUL, then maybe social media is not someplace that you should fool with!

Well I happen to have coached in the top state in te country for high school football so I believe I know a little bit about what goes on in high school football. Where I coached we didn't have to leave the state for top competition we only had to drive over to Orlando or down to Miami to play tougher schools than what is on your schedule so before you act like you're God's gift to the coaching profession because you are an assistant at a private school in Kentucky that hand picks their players I'd find out the background of who you're arguing first. Second I believe I'd try to use proper grammar before I made an argument as to not look foolish. Thirdly you are downgrading 14-15 year old kids because I guess it makes you feel better about yourself. I know exactly what's going on in this program because I know a lot of the people involved in it. They play kids according to grade ahead of ability. They also have a coach in place to play certain kids because the superintendent wants them to. You do have a freedom of speech I agree. But what you don't have is the right to get on a message board and downgrade a kid because its convienent to type on a computer. These kids worked hard and should be proud of what they've accomplished. Winning at any level should be celebrated. Is JV something coaches sit up at night worrying about? No. But you can develop a winning mentality at this level and use it as you go to varsity. And to say that all winning JV teams are bad varsity is ignorant and just a contrarion response to the post. I've seen plenty of winning JV teams that go on to be winning varsity teams. I've seen coaches not play good JV kids that could contribute on varsity for many reasons. It's pathetic that an adult gets on sites like this and attacks kids. You hide behind a screen name and the line "I don't use names" like it makes it right. People like you are what makes the coaching profession worse. Have a little bit of ethics and morals and show some professionalism by not posting about teams you don't coach. If you aren't in the meeting room you don't know what's going on.
