@CoachSwit I have an idea... coach your team how you see fit and let others do the same. There are many ways to get to the same goal.

I’ve said this before, but with tryouts around the corner… here we go again. A 60-yard dash time isn’t necessary for baseball. This isn’t 1990. Let the haters hate…..

Can someone explain UConn losing a quad 3 game at home and are on a lot of brackets one line? If Purdue would of done that they would be out of the tourney probably 😂

Because he was released from his contract, Tyreek Hill becomes a free agent and is immediately eligible to sign with another team. While it's unclear when Hill intends to find a new home, he does not have to wait until March 13th like free agents to be on expiring deals.

@ScotPollard31 @BarBoy1987 @ExitRow4TheTall It's hard to take a man that has never worked a day in his life that wants to disparage the union that stands up for working people. It's apparent that you have never been in a factory or on the tarmac working in your entire life. You're are an entitled piece of shit.

@efenny12 @BarBoy1987 @ExitRow4TheTall Funny, my last emcee gig because of heart failure, I helped the Carmel education foundation set a new record for fundraising with the auction at the end. But yeah I know I have haters. Success breeds that. Have a great week. I’ll keep helping other people. You keep hating

I’m 6’6”. I don’t fit in regular seats & I create negative situations with the person who sits in front of me who has my knees in their back & the flight attendants who have to navigate around me when I stand in the aisle for relief or put my legs in the aisle. What should I do?

@ScotPollard31 @BarBoy1987 @ExitRow4TheTall At this point I will just listen to my friend on the Carmel school board and just ignore the "entitled know it all that is not worth your time. " To bad the heart didn't go to a better human being...

@ScotPollard31 @BarBoy1987 @ExitRow4TheTall You do not know shit about the automakers and how much the union or the company employees cost them. How about you stick to shit you know like basketball and heart transplants. Leave negotiations to the more intelligent people.

@BarBoy1987 @ExitRow4TheTall I’m with you. Like I said originally, review the expenses of the airlines, (which would include the CEO). It’s known that unions cost all auto makers and airlines the bulk of their expenses. I’m all for fair wages for work done. Don’t mix up what I’m saying in your head, son.

2/ Are there bad coaches? Of course. There are bad professionals in every field. But sweeping declarations about “lazy coaches” flatten a deeply complex profession into an easy villain, and complex realities rarely survive long inside convenient narratives. Human nature hasn’t deteriorated. The environment has changed. Year-round specialization. Club conflicts. Recruiting pressures. Social media scrutiny. Parent expectations. Mental health realities. Administrative compliance demands. Coaching didn’t get softer. It got heavier. Distance, however, has a way of creating false confidence. It’s easier to assign motives, diagnose laziness, and question integrity when you’re not responsible for practices, classrooms, roster decisions, or the deeply human moments that define school-based athletics. It’s a very different vantage point — one where the pressures of guiding teenagers are replaced by the comparatively manageable logistics of organizing soccer tournaments, inviting teams, and making sure the right T-shirts find the right benches. And occasionally, modern criticism takes on a curious shape — where disagreement drifts beyond ideas, where reactions feel designed less to illuminate and more to unsettle. 20 years in journalism teaches you many things, but one lesson repeats itself: disagreement with an opinion rarely carries the same energy as discomfort with a perspective that refuses to align neatly with an established storyline. The difference is usually unmistakable. Experienced professionals understand why. None of this suggests coaches should be shielded from accountability. Accountability matters. But accountability without precision becomes performance. And performance without solutions becomes noise. Because identifying problems is easy. Finding solutions is the real work. If we truly believe athletics are “more than just games,” then the conversation must move beyond outrage cycles and toward something harder. How do schools better support coaches? How do we improve communication? Prevent burnout? Navigate athlete mental health challenges? Clarify offseason expectations so that we all know the difference between family time and commitment? Mentor young coaches entering an increasingly complicated landscape? Sorry to burst the bubble stretched over your football field — but solutions, real ones, demand more than imaginative proposals and sweeping declarations. They demand perspective. High school athletics are NOT a battlefield of villains. Coaches, officials, schools, and yes, the IHSA — overwhelmingly good people guiding imperfect teenagers through growth, resilience, failure, accountability, teamwork, and development that extends far beyond the scoreboard. But reducing an educational institution — or the people within it — to a running tally of court decisions misses something far more important. The purpose. High school sports exist, at their best, as an extension of the classroom. A space for growth, resilience, failure, accountability, teamwork, and social-emotional development. A space where imperfect adults guide imperfect teenagers through experiences that shape who they become. We can debate policies. We can critique decisions. We can push for improvement. But if the starting point is cynicism, caricature, and the assumption of bad intent, the conversation is already broken. And if someone cannot acknowledge the fundamental educational mission of high school athletics — the development of young people — then perhaps the most constructive contribution is not louder commentary, but a step back from the discussion entirely. Because this space was never meant to be defined by outrage, narratives, or scorekeeping. It has always been about growth. -MR

THREAD: When I coached football at DeKalb, my stipend check arrived every two weeks. For $99. Not per day. Not per practice. Per pay period. One season as a freshman basketball coach brought a grand total of $1,000. For an entire season. Today, as a varsity basketball official, I’ll typically earn $83 for a contest — before taxes, before travel, before the quiet math that reminds you this was never designed to be lucrative. Those numbers aren’t shared as complaints. They’re shared because context matters. Because perspective matters. And because conversations about high school athletics have developed a curious tendency to drift far from the lived realities inside schools. Especially the loud conversations. Especially the viral ones. Especially the ones built for engagement rather than understanding. Because perspective, inconveniently, tends to belong to those who have actually lived inside this world. Because if you’ve never lived inside this space — not observed it, not commented from afar, not tweeted about it — but truly lived it — the conclusions can come easily. If you’ve never been evaluated as a coach by an administrator. Never navigated roster decisions that directly affect teenagers and families. Never balanced classroom responsibilities with practices, film sessions, eligibility compliance, offseason regulations, and the quiet emotional labor coaching demands. Never sacrificed evenings, weekends, holidays, and family time for compensation that looks dramatically different when divided by hours invested. Then yes… The realities are easy to misread. And the narrative circulating online can sound persuasive. “More lazy high school coaches than ever.” It’s a striking claim. It’s also the kind of simplicity that travels exceptionally well online — clean, confident, and ultimately very… dare I say… lazy. 🤨 Because real life inside schools is rarely that tidy. Most high school coaches are teachers or school staff working full days before stepping into a gym or onto a field. They manage lesson plans, grading, meetings, interventions, and student needs long before practice begins. Then comes preparation, planning, communication, compliance, logistics, mentorship, hours of film session on a Sunday morning and countless unseen moments that never make it into social media commentary. All for stipends that, when measured honestly against hours invested, would surprise many of the loudest critics. Most coaches are not getting rich. They’re getting tired. 1/

What a day! Trump people are still mad at me because I opposed redistricting. Left is mad at me because I had the audacity to point out American sponsors might not be thrilled losing millions of American eyeballs during the halftime show. My day is not complete unless both sides are equally enraged.

@bkravitz Pretty sure if it is in their contracts they will. If not then that is their fault. We are not talking about amateurs any more.
