Those jobs are always tricky since they have to have the advanced certification to be the AD also. A lot of assistant coaches won't have that.

Especially when you consider he was the AD in addition to being the HC

Is he not also the AD?

From my understanding every incident was outside of the stadium whether at the gate or away from it after the games.

It's already been discussed by many and stated by many that they hold no power outside of the field. Everything else falls on the school district. The school district is ultimately responsible for anything happening on their grounds. Enforce the rules and policies already in place and tailgating shouldn't be an issue. Now if they are tailgating off school property then the only option you basically have is to enforce not letting them on campus or in the gate if you believe they aren't suitable to be there. If they attempted to enforce something off campus, it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back on the fight against the private organization running high school athletics.

They are on their own regardless for lawsuits. Every part of that falls on each district. The only thing that falls under them is what happens on the field. Everything else is on the school district. They aren't cutting into their kingdom for anything or anyone.

Interesting that the private organization that oversees athletics is able to tell school districts how to police and enforce their district policies and laws based on the advice of their attorneys. The same organization that selectively enforces it's own policies, procedures, and rules as they feel fit with zero oversight. The entire situation is horrible, but pushing all the districts to remove tailgating is absurd.

They were pretty well drummed by d'iberville, and they play Gulfport while OS is on a bye to start getting healthy. The Biloxi game they will definitely be a favorite based on the games I have watched of both of them so far. OS has been playing linebackers on the defensive line for the last two weeks due to injuries. Solo puts up another 230 yard performance in back to back weeks. I look for him to continue his trend as of late. Both OS and Gulfport have played well on the road over the past few years, I don't feel like it's an advantage for West Harrison.

We will see where they end up after these next 3 games. They have a tough stretch to finish up.

Gulfport. Issues with spring practices last time...

One of those teams has already been in trouble over the past 2 years for violating practice rules... Not surprised to see them here at all.

The law they are attempting to pass would change it. They would no longer be required to move. They would get one free transfer as long as they are accepted to the new school district.

If the legislature gets the votes, it’ll be a moot point. Everyone will get one move in HS with no penalty.

We aren't going anywhere. 2nd-3rd largest district in the state and they are building houses like there's no tomorrow. Just want to get back to 6 in Region ASAP because scheduling 7 teams in limited games is a nightmare right now.

I'm aware of the whole ordeal. I'm also aware of both teams that were tied appealing with updated numbers to correct the tie. My comment is directed at the rumor of it becoming every four years instead of every two years.

Hopefully they fix the 7A mess first. 4 years of 7 teams in Region 4 would make the current nightmare even worse.

I'm aware of the rule. I don't see it happening again. Especially considering both schools that ended up tied didn't end up with those enrollment numbers when it was all said and done. It's and absolute nightmare scheduling this mess for the non football sports in 7A for the coast.

Makes sense. I just went and reread it and it actually says first day of new school year when moving due to athletics. Although I'm not really sure how you prove someone moves purely for athletics.

The chances of 2 schools being tied again to give 7A 25 is pretty slim. I'd bet going forward if they are on the bubble they make sure they stay on one side or the other.

Dad "moved" and mom still lives and works in LA. I have found it interesting that the handbook now says the move must be completed by July 1.

I did too but who knows with them. He's already been in trouble with the state twice. I'm sure they are going to say that "they moved"

Hearing it's not going to matter in the next couple of years regardless. Word is the statue that didn't pass this year for transfers will likely pass soon. Will become an arms race. On a side note. Apparently if you bring in the parent from Louisiana as an assistant coach/teacher's assistant you can get away with a little more.

Gulfport has apparently pulled it off with their new QB. Coach posting him all over Facebook while the parents still live in Louisiana.

I didn't conveniently leave it out. The booster clubs and OSAF were stuck footing unpaid bills left by the departure and lack of oversight of some of the coaches. I've sat in many a board meeting and interaction with those organizations and have first hand knowledge of it. Unfortunately not much has changed with the new athletic office. An AD that had never been a head coach of anything is now running a 7A district and is more worried about pacifying and not making waves until retirement over moving the district forward. As far as the invoices, in OS it's all listed in the docket of claims and gets charged to Athletics. Part of the problem is most of these districts don't go any further than the broad overview of the budgets as required by state statue, you never get to see how those budgets are actually divided and broken out.

I think it's funny that you think all of them operate this way. I can tell you it's not separate in OS it all falls under one umbrella. I also know for a fact that OSAF, which is the organization that gives grants in OS, had to buy Track uniforms 2 years ago because their "was no money left in the athletic budget" to do so. I have first hand knowledge of what the booster clubs spend and what they buy, as well as the conversations inside. Every district is different in how they handle it. There was/is a contract with BSN for uniforms and each team was given an allotment for uniforms over 3 years, but not all teams used it because not all needed them replaced. If a uniform is lost/damaged/needs to be replaced, the district isn't paying for it, it falls on the booster club even though it's treated as an asset. But by all means keep telling me that I don't know.
