@stevemagness Yes it reverses but at 8th grade /HS level it is still a factor (and that’s what we are talking about here) and in all aspects it is certainly an advantage through elementary school. Right?

@RunCoach341 Very old data. That was true in 2000. Now it's around 8.5% or so. The relative age effect was a thing when we sucked at talent ID and development. Not as much anymore. And in many cases, it reverses at the elite level.

This is nuts.
If you're holding your kid back for sports, you've lost all perspective in life.

Boy athletes are repeating eighth grade in a "holdback" year to grow ahead of recruitment for college NIL packages potentially worth millions on.wsj.com/4rAVtEQ

@stevemagness Look up stats for youth hockey most of the best kids in each age group are born in January and February.
English
@stevemagness Lots of parents hold them back to start a kindergarten a year later which is a huge advantage all the way through school since they are a year older than many of the kids in the class. Big advantage academically and athletically .

Or let’s let schools who can’t figure out how to win go down a level so they have a better chance at a trophy.

@teleologyman @FromTheSeidline No one should be removed from competition, I think Matt is talking about moving private schools to either their own tournaments, or shifting them up a division. Competitive balance.
English
Most private schools would be ok with a couple all-private divisions.
Nick@teleologyman
@FromTheSeidline This issue should cause everyone to help build stronger civic and nonprofit sports at the younger ages. That is where the difference is. Removing private schools from competition is a terrible solution. (My kids go to a division I public school).

@John_Fanta @Slicknickshady Almost like CBS and NCAA planned it that way when they up this regional.
English
There’s always juice with a regional. Sweet 16 is some kind of special.
That being said, the level of juice at Capital One Arena Friday night is going to be at a one-of-one level.
Duke vs. St. John’s.
UConn vs. Michigan State.
Jon Scheyer. Rick Pitino. Dan Hurley. Tom Izzo.

Debating whether Mick Cronin deserves a technical is actually hilarious.

Congrats to @CoachStine32 and Lumen Christi on the first girls BB state title in school history today. Been fun to follow this team throughout the year
English
Another Championship for a Lansing Diocese school in 25-26 year.
Great Leadership at all levels in these schools. Producing winners in life not just sports.

@Chuckgorocks @TalentEvaluator @PinckneyHigh Such a good use of taxpayers money in a district that is hemorrhaging students .
English
@TalentEvaluator @PinckneyHigh If you’re a parent there what would be steps to reporting him?
English
Still commenting behind a block. When his stats are revealed as badly cherry-picked and his arguments circular, @PinckneyHigh athletic direct Matt Seidl can only resort to ad hominem. Who’s the troll here?

@Coach_McKinney Question: Do girls teams stall this much on HS courts which are 10 feet shorter (and in some gyms even more) than the MSU court?
The bigger court at MSU makes it a lot easier to stall.
English
I would agree DeWitt could have pressured a little more but to start the 4th we are already playing keep away? What about this clip, would you say South Christian doesn’t try to pressure? If you have good guards you can do it for long periods of time. Down 6 with 3 mins to go they shouldn’t have to resort to fouling so early..shot clock would give them possessions without fouling to add to the deficit..
Shannon Autry@MrsAutry812
@Coach_McKinney I agree that there should be a shot clock but how about instead of Renaissance “stalls” it’s DeWitt refused to pressure the ball 🤷♀️. Basketball is a strategy game just like they played a packed in zone all game but guess we aren’t going to talk about that 🙄
English
@Coach_McKinney The minute and half possession ended as soon as DeWitt decided to defend - playing defense is an option.
English
For MSU fans looking for an omen / Kentucky’s win in OT was similar to their win over St. Bonaventure in 2000.
English
Every single team in baseball would keep Connelly Early and Payton Tolle in the minor leagues for a couple weeks if it meant getting another year of service time, especially if they had five other established healthy starters for the rotation.
That’s just being smart
English
In case you were wondering, this isn’t even remotely close to what is going on.
Almost impressive how far away it is from reality.

The Red Sox Have Two Young Pitchers Absolutely Dealing in Spring Training And Neither One Is Likely To Make The Opening Day Roster Because Of Money @MikeMutnansky s.barstool.link/c/article-3565…
English
@MikeMutnansky @StoolBaseball Not really - if you can send those 2 down for 45 days and get a whole extra year of control it’s very meaningful and yes saves some money but ultimately it’s smarter to keep the extra year of control.
English
@RunCoach341 @StoolBaseball That’s the same thing Tim. Give me a break.
