what happen to the defeeter avatar u had. And by the way you throw trash away by putting another uniform on and leaving. The girls we lost were good but this train is still rolling all a board.

I heard 6 myself as well as TB was out and Davis in. Can anyone confirm? I am not sure what is left once Davis takes over.

Usually I don't post much but obviously people discussing this don't know the play or the persons involved. While the technique is a little unconventional, it can be effective. As for delaying the game - that did NOT happen. The team actually played a man down while the game was going on. I've seen the same for tying a cleat or an injury. As for excessive, FIVE [not 10 or more like some claimed] push-ups takes no longer than most throw-ins or shoe tying. As for embarrassing or otherwise excessive, again while unconventional - I've seen much worse alternatives. Like the coach who have a tirade in Austin tournament this summer, while berating his players so much the ref finally ejected him. Or the ones, I've seen in SDL or during LHGCL qualifiers, that screamed at everyone so constantly that you could not tell if the forehead was sun burnt or if their head was boiling over. Those are the coaches that should be called out on this board for anger issues and I've seen enough of those over two years of academy and a year and a half of select. Or would you rather have the coaches that sit a player out for the entire next game or two because of one mistake. That's really effective way to learn, by not being on the field. Have seen that also. Are they cool calm and collect OR passive aggressive. Depends on the person sitting the bench after a road trip and maybe a hotel stay at your expense. Every coach has to exercise a certain amount of control over their team. So is it really bad that a coach that might ask for a few push ups but doesn't yell a lot, doesn't berate players in public and gives everyone playing time. If methods are a little different, is that reason to label them as needing anger management and to not be coaching. Seriously? Forest Gump said "Mamma, always says stupid is a stupid does." Maybe said coaches uses an unconventional approach to keep control AND composure when players are not thinking; if it helps the player refocus then that might not be a bad idea. Coach expects what is practiced to be used in a game. Five push ups and letting them play is better than calling them id10ts in public or benching them. You learn by playing. If the players and parents are cool with it, then who cares how unconventional it is. Just look at HS American football coaches or collegiate coaches and you will see many unconventional methods. Just MHO.
Back in my coaching time, all the coaches in the district would meet up. Each coach would nominate the players they thought deserve All-District. Then each coach would make their argument over each player. In the end, the coaches vote for the players they think should make it based on the nominations. There can be quite a bit of arguing and fighting over this. If you are in good graces with your coach, he/she may insist upon your kid being deserving of such an award,but if they aren't so impressed with your kid, their attitude, the parent's attitude, etc., then they may not put up much of a fight in favor of your kid.

But that was back then. I can't speak for exactly how they do it now.

Additional comment added later: And coaches tend not to leave people off just because of petty differences. They look better themselves the more players they have on these awards lists..
