Re: Shot Clock In H.S. Basketball Yes or No

On one hand, the owners are successful at owning and running businesses. They will continue to make their money. Most athletes are good at one thing, playing their one sport. Most don’t have anything to fall back on after sports, and without sports most athletes would likely end up in jail, or wors...

Re: Inappropriate Adult Behavior at H.S Athletic Events

It's worse in youth sports and non-sactioned events. I think it's partially due to not having effective bodies overseeing them and enforcing rules. I think the amount of money parents have to pay for those things makes them feel more entitled to act out as well. Ironically, the fees are going up par...

Re: Shot Clock In H.S. Basketball Yes or No

Hunter Biden, of course. What? Not much for sarcasm are you? Sorry. I was being an adult trying to have a serious conversation. I forgot that Trumpers are incapable of separating politics from any aspect of their personality. It is a serious question though. You say athletes don't deserve the money...

Re: Shot Clock In H.S. Basketball Yes or No

Re: Does anyon remember these old gyms?

The gym at East Conemaugh had a balcony above the out of bounds lines. When you were done playing, your sneakers were red from the dust spewing out of Bethlehem Steel's open hearth furnaces. Miner's Hall in Nanty-Glo was upstairs. Small and cramped. Locker rooms were in the basement. I think we hun...

Re: McCort Wrestling

'sordid internally'? Are you kidding? Have you forgotten about the Fr. Baker molestation scandal? Ken Salem 'took one for the school' and fell on his sword, yet the 'Lady' who hired Baker, and failed to vett him beforehand, got away with no penalties whatsoever. One of the former athletes took his ...

Re: McCort Wrestling

He still does interviews and (his own) press releases like he is still the acting coach at BM. I cannot understand why the Parrish at BM doesn't suspend, or terminate him? And I don't know this Smith guy at all, but what is he thinking letting this guy be the face of his program and school? What do...

Re: D6 Playoffs

After both losses, BM's coach seemed to throw his girls under the bus in interviews. In both games he pointed out that girls didn't follow his game plan or screwed up the defense somehow. Is it me or is that unusual? I've seen coaches question their kids effort, but don't think I can recall a coach...

Except that based on evidence reviewed by the PIAA and the federal courts, that's not what happened at all.
