    Referee shortage nationwide and some of the reasons why

    Agreed. The first time a coach at ANY level threatens an official at all should be immediately ejected. In HS sports, that also gets the disqualified participant suspended for the next contest as well. There has to be some common decency as well. Most of us don't have 'thin skins' but we...

    Rule Change Request - Penalty in End Zone

    This can be a tricky ruling and in some cases subject to the judgement of the covering official. This is the rule: Running into or roughing the kicker or holder. A defensive player shall neither run into the kicker nor holder, which is contact that displaces the kicker or holder without...

    Officials Shortage in the IHSA?

    I just found out that we have to supply our LJ and work short-handed on the 13th. He is going to also be on a 4-man crew. Some ADs are willing to have 4-man crews in favor of moving games. Insane!

    Get Him Off the Damn Field . . . .

    Shouldn't matter who did the deed. It was a brutal hit that would've brought an auto-eject in any other level. ...and they complain about head trauma.

    Why your school?

    I went to both Catholic and Public schools in HS. Gordon as a frosh and graduated from Reavis. I always loved sports - especially baseball and football, but didn't really get into HS football until my son decided to play youth ball. One thing led to another and I started coaching pee-wee...

    Loyola announcing Hometowns?

    Hammond is actually only a 20 minute drive from 63rd & Dante. In good traffic times of course. But not far at all.

    At least Jack coached at one time. I get tired of simpering pencil-necks like Costas and Joe Buck spewing their "expert" diatribes they think we give a damn about.

    Yo Edgy!!!! Do You Still Post "The Edgy Dozen"?

    Good to keep the focus on the Dozen. It's an honor to be named - to say the least. Taking your time is also good... no need to rush into naming the grittiest and hardest working young men in the State.

    Hub Arkush

    That seems to be a matter of opinion. I don't like the guy, but that's because I don't like his Bob Costas-like editorializing on everything he doesn't like. That said, Joe Buck would've been up late studying all of the rules differences between HS and Pro before he started calling the...

    Hub Arkush

    I get that this stage is where a lot of newbies get their start (ie Sarah Kustock), but they are PAID professionals. Shouldn't they have enough pride in their chosen profession to at least crack a rule book instead of looking like a dolts. Then there's McInerny. Not nearly as bad as Hub, but...
