    My HS had separate teams for football, basketball and soccer (varsity, jv and freshman), so there were a lot.  They also had a competition team, which were the "best" out of all those teams I mentioned. 

    You went to a huge school.  I remember seeing on FB one time that there were cheerleaders at a soccer game.

    Speaking of your old school, what do you think of the latest controversy?

  • Our school probably has 16-20.  Cheerleading needs to be governed by the same OHSAA rules as all other sports, then I will gain a little more respect for it.  Currently, MS/HS coaches must follow a strict set of rules in terms of contact with players, practicing, etc., in and out of season.  Cheerleaders, however, do not have to follow the same set of rules.  Our school has had a number of stupid injuries in cheerleading.

    Right, and if I blow by the on ball defender, nobody else can slide in and take a charge. It’s bullshit basketball.

     

    2 Things

    1) LGP must be gained

    2) Offense must initiate contact

    In either situation, an offense can avoid it.  There is also the concept of "space," and allowing an offensive player enough space to read, react, and make a move.  

    While these plays may suck to you as a fan, the defense is acting within the rules (assuming it is called correctly).  If the offense is getting worse at reacting, you can't change the rule to penalize the defense (in my opinion).  Again, all of this is under the blanket assumption that the rule/foul is being called correctly.

  • I've always considered that a team control (offensive) foul, I guess.  Have never heard it referred to as a charge.  After looking it up in the rule book, I guess by definition, a "charge" could (technically) be considered any player (offense or defense) running over an opponent, not by the act of pushing.  A "charge" to the casual basketball fan usually references a "bang-bang" play, typically a "block/charge" call when a ball-handler is en-route to the hoop.

  • Any educator who doesn't demand proper English, grammar, spelling, etc. is a f**king moron, in my book.  Not to say that we all don't make mistakes, but you should still demand it of yourself.

    CBD contains the cannibanoids that weed contains but no THC.  Pretty harmless and Likely good for you for many reasons.
