I figured with the end of the season coming up, I thought we should get a thread going of the best excuses coaches have heard this season for any reason... (Such as how your kid put 3 lbs overnight without doing anything or why they couldn't be at practice).


LET THE FUN BEGIN....

"I only ate a salad."

After gaining 3 pounds from 5pm Friday to 6:30am Saturday.

I'm guessing it was a pizza salad.

I had that happen this year as well, I told him just because your burger had lettuce on it doesn't make it a salad.

My favorite from this season is:
"I have to go to my 4 year old brothers birthday party at Donatos." The excuse why he couldn't wrestle the first weekend.

Off topic, but a pretty funny wrestling story....

SEVERAL years back I'm HC at the most "affluent" school district in the county. Me and one of the assistants go to a one-day clinic. As the coaches sign in we each get a ticket for a drawing at the end of the day.

At clinic's end we all go into a meeting room that's filled with vendors. We're all seated 3 to a table. At our table it was us and our friend who was HC at the least "affluent" district in the county. Some of the vendors make short presentations, then we proceed to the drawing. The clinic director pulls 10 or so tickets and hands out some prizes donated by vendors......most in the $75 to $100 range....some pretty good stuff. Then he says something like "Now our 2nd Grand Prize... $1500 worth of exercise equipment".....and pulls my assistants ticket. Now it's "Our Grand Prize..... $3500 worth of exercise equipment ".........and pulls my ticket. After that he says "We have one more" and pulls our friends ticket............................it was a 24 pack of white athletic tape.

He was SHAKE HIS HEAD pissed.........."Un f' in believable, you guys are going back to X Y Z with 5 grand and I' m going back to my shit hole with a box of tape........this is so f 'in rich I can't believe it."


We still laugh every now and then.
