Everyone thought this would be the least disruptive move. McFarland was agreeable to that. |
I am not hearing a lot of interest in it. There is occasionally pockets of it, but right now, it doesn't seem to be a hot issue with the coaches. |
I don't know if it changes anything. Obviously, I can't make everyone happy. |
I'm not afraid to go a long ways out of the box if I have to. I challenge people to find a way to improve the game and to come up with new ideas. But we need to get it from coaches from all over the state. What are they thinking? What do they want to do? |
It's limiting the opportunities for new officials to crack the ranks. |
Long-range, that's probably the best option. |
Many people think we already do it that way. If we make the change, some of the schools will be bumped up and Hurley could be one of those. |
The biggest thing is the cost involved. Not only buying the clocks and getting them installed, but you also would have to pay someone to run those. |
The issue is huge. I don't know if people realize that. Depending on what happens Wednesday, basketball is targeted for change. |
Verona wanted to stay and the league wanted Verona to stay. That should put to rest any talk about it moving into the Big Eight Conference. But I don't want to have to deal with this for at least another five years. |
We had a positive experience there in 2004 and believe that it will be a memorable experience for the teams and their fans this year and for the next two years. |
We should know by noon (on Friday). This was a big hurdle to get over this, to not get any appeals. |
We're encouraging everyone who has a voice to make sure their school is represented and votes on the proposal. |
