[quote=mandan]Therein lies part of the problem. Some football coaches "insist" that their players attend (at least here locally). Many of the best athletes, especially in small schools, are the best players in multiple sports. Players are"forced" to choose spring practice or spring sports. Some have tried to do both, which is not really practical. ie. a QB showing up to pitch a baseball game after he has thrown plenty of passes at spring football practice.... or running in a track meet after you've run pass patterns for 90 minutes. It would be great if cooperation and understanding would prevail. How do other schools deal with this problem?[/QUO

Those coaches that force kids to quit a sport should be fired. But if we did that you would be looking at about 80% of your basketball coaches. Again look what the south does and do that PERIOD!!!! If you were a QB and you could go get knowledge from only 1 QB in the world would it be the QB at UK or lets say maybe Rogers, Manning or Brady! Go south see what they do for high school football!!!
