    Is KLS going to the portal?

    My guess would be because it was deemed best to let the new OC make his own evaluation.

    I'm surprised someone here hasn't blamed Franklin for this situation.

    NFHS has been providing streaming services and incentives to purchase cameras for awhile now. The issue with replay would be the limited angles depending on where the cameras are located. My understanding is that those schools that have "bought in" have one camera per location. They then...

    No one said "get rid of sport." Remember, high school sports exist as part of the school curriculum. The tail should never wag the dog. Participation in athletics is a privilege. Winning or losing an athletic contest in high school is not life and death....that's the point.

    I'm not broken hearted over pep bands and cheerleaders. Boo hoo. The cheer crowd? LOL the same crowd that would be elsewhere if the team lost a few games. I'm sorry for the 14-15 guys on the team and the coach. They should have had one more game together. I still don't understand how the...

    As a retired AD who served more than twenty years......and agonized to find down and chain crews, clock operators, chaperones and scorebook personnel.....thank you for your service!

    Perhaps some wise individual will take them aside and show them the thousands of crosses that adorn the military cemeteries' above the Normandy Beaches. Those teenagers are not alright. Get some perspective.

    NJ High School hoops controversy

    Last I checked a basketball team had 5 players. They are young and resilient and I hope their parents and coaches encourage them to deal with this unfortunate incident in the best possible way. Anyone who has been around sports has had to deal with loss and "the bad call." Before I coached my...

    We have lost the gene for empathy and also to a large degree respect. We see it today in our government and the only losers are those who think they are 100% right and anyone who disagrees is a fascist, communist or terrorist. It has led us down a dark alley where our choices are a dead man and...

    Funny, I'll bet it's many of the same folks that think football coaches (division 1) stink. ;)

    NJ High School hoops controversy

    You are 100% correct. Also, these officials had to be among the top rated by coaches/associations in order to get such a high profile assignment. When I see something like this, my sympathy first goes to the young student athletes and then to the officials that missed the call. Different...

    NJ High School hoops controversy

    Yes, officials are leaving high school athletics at an alarming rate. Contests at all levels jr hi, jv and varsity are being cancelled or often officiated with less than the full compliment...ie 1 on a basketball, baseball or soccer game. Parents/fans/coaches and their abuse is a major reason...

    NJ High School hoops controversy

    I'm pretty sure the NFHS rule book doesn't address "irrefutable evidence." I think that's college or NFL football jargon. The IAABO officials that work in our state said that decisions are final once you leave the court. Clearly a mistake was made. I'm sure all three officials feel terrible...

    I wasn't there, so I don't know if that is true. I did see that alleged on twitter.....and we all know that if you want the truth, that's where you go. I also heard that the official that made the call had run off.....but apparently the assistant director of the association collared the others...
