I am not against kids being kids, trust me I have two that are in the middle of this, but my question I guess was who is taking the advantage of the three weeks before the dead period. I mean, basketball plays a FULL season in the month of June and they are not the next sport in line but I guess that is the KHSAA and basketball...this is a basketball state...all be it the ONLY state in the SEC that is a basketball state. I guess what I am saying is that I want my kids to work as much and as hard as anyone in the state. I am all for making the dead period the whole month of JUNE but you and me and everybody else knows that, that will NEVER happen because of basketball. So, as a parent I want my kid to have as much work as they can to make them better. I don't care if it is only three weeks. As a matter of fact, I don't care if it is only one week. Just my opnion and that and 90 cents will buy you a cup of coffee....my how times have changed. I remember when I could buy coffee for less than 50 cents.

I hear that a lot, but I think football gets as much work with their players as basketball, especially considering the weight programs that are such a crucial part of the success of programs like Harlan County.
Basically, the three weeks in June are the only time the basketball team gets to work with their full team until football ends in late November (if you are in the playoffs late, like Harlan County for the past several years).
