An Intense Defensive Coach

#1 Post by Spock » Sat Nov 04, 2017 6:09 pm

Been busy with harvest and a few other things. However, I got a kick out of a picture at the link below.

Our football team (West Central Area) has surprisingly made it to the state tournament. Littlest Spock is a 9th grader on the team. He has gotten in when we have been way behind and so forth.

The 4th picture of 5 at the above link-click on the arrows on the picture-is of our very intense defensive coach. He has the bloody head. He likes to head butt players(not lightly) when he gets excited-They are wearing helmets and he isn't. He is very intense.

He is also the advanced math teacher at our school.

Not for long. Way to educate the kids about the dangers of CTE, coach! :roll:

Yeah, he does look a little dazed. Littlest Spock said he plays on a local semi-pro team that I never knew existed. Littlest said that he has had multiple concussions (Obviously).

Our (West Central Area's) victory over Pillager was a classic example of a team taking an opponent for granted and being taken out of their game plan right away and playing like deer in the headights as they were forced to play catch-up which they are not used to.

The Pillager vs West Central Area (WCA) game is a classic example of why I think Time of Possession is a vastly over-rated stat.

Pillager is a ball control, grind it out team and they dominated Time of Possession. WCA scored quick during their successful drives.

Little Spock, who I had talked about this earlier with, agreed that this game illustrated my point.

It had come up earlier, in the context of North Dakota State-a successful program with a ball-control , time of possession driven offense.

It is hard for ball control, time of possession offenses to play from behind.
