Yes they won a nc. Let's not act like they are some baseball power. This is their second trip to Omaha ever. No, whether they win or lose this series, they aren't close to LSU standards or many other programs. Quit trying to make them that.

This is not a done deal. Not saying that he won’t get an interview, but that would be shocking if they offer it to him first. Zack Morris will be the guy that they will make turn them down a couple of times before going to the next guy. He is the OC at Catholic and I believe he also graduated from Central.
Not saying that you haven’t heard rumors, but we have been out here for 8 years and haven’t heard about this. What are you hearing?
I stand corrected on the act of a common football move. As far as that goes, it’s subjective to the official that makes the call, and the replay official. The guy on the field thought it was enough and the replay official didn’t. I still personally think that he had possession (obviously my opinion doesn’t matter to the rules committee). Biggest thing is, if the SEC officials/replay officials had any sort of consistency, then there would be less controversy on these type of calls. Don’t get me wrong, you would still have the fans that are never wrong and the SEC is against LSU mindset, but it would go a long way for most fans. Case in point, you can find a video from Twitter that shows a finger tipping a pass, and they still come out and say that there isn’t any video evidence.
You say the rules are the same, but then you go and say the differences between the two?? In order to make a football come to a complete stop and to literally quit moving, you have to have possession. If not, the ball keeps rolling, spinning, or moving in some way. There is zero movement, in fact, you see it come to a complete sudden stop, mid spin.

What else can determine complete possession?? The ball is moving/spinning and then he puts two hands around it and you can literally see it come to a complete stop. There isn’t a process to it like a catch, you either control the ball or you don’t. I think if something comes to a complete stop with two hands around it, that means he possessed it. At that point, the only way it becomes “not possessed” is when the player out of bounds knocks it out of his hands.
If the runner is in the running lane like he is supposed to be, then the throw is not that far off and the first baseman can stretch and make the catch. You can make the case the pitcher threw it on the inside because he knew the runner was supposed to be in the runners lane.
Not in this case, but there are also answers that it wasn’t catchable. The argument on an uncatchable throw will always be made that the throw was altered by the runner deciding to run inside the base line. It’s no different when you have hitters interference on a runner stealing second. It doesn’t matter if the runner would’ve been safe by 10 feet or if the throw landed in right center, the interference will always be a possibility of causing the errant through.

While this is true at most high schools, this isn’t the case at Denham high. Their trainer is one of the most reputable in the state. He spent multiple years at ULL on their training staff as well. Unfortunately in life, you can do everything right and still have an outcome like this. We still don’t know all of the facts, and honestly, probably never will. It sucks for everyone involved. The one thing I think most people can agree on is, not a single coach or trainer went out there and planned to have this happen. They reacted to the situation as best they could. If that turns out that it was handled incorrectly, then that’s a different story. Nobody on this board was there, so nobody knows what signs were being shown and when they were being shown. Prayers to the family and community!

Out of everything on here, the only real possibility is Mahaffey to Central. With Nettles on staff at Zachary, I wouldn’t look for any coach over there to go to Denham. Not to mention, Carrier enjoys being an assistant football coach and running a track program, that has multiple state championships.

EA is pretty athletic. It was 3-0 game at half last year, against Catholic. They were also a play away from advancing to the semi finals against John Ehret.

While I agree with this statement, that just shows you how good Griffey was.

This article doesn’t mention it, but I saw another article about it earlier. It said that they didn’t think impairment was a factor. Either way, it’s pretty sad.

quote:
you were doing a little more than that...
I never said anything other than the conversation I've had with former players. Never said anything else about him or the quote that started this thread.
quote:
whoever it was said that his nephew either pitched or is currently a pitcher for Paul and that every time he hears someone say that all the players hate him that he rolls his eyes and says that couldn't be further from the truth.
Not saying this wasn't said. I just would like to see the thread, so I can see the exact statement.
quote:
This is where you and I won't agree. Sure it helps, but if a coach builds the reputation that players hate him, then no players won't continue to come. Many great programs across college sports have done poorly and recruited poorly with poor coaches.
We can disagree with this. I think at the end of the day, it will still recruit itself because of it's history. Once again, you can have your opinion on it, and I respect that.
quote:
LSU isn't the only place elite college players can play and with every game being on TV now, exposure isn't the sell it once was. These players don't have one "fortune 500" offer, they have multiple. All else being equal, if one elite program has a coach with the reputation of being disliked by his players and another doesn't, where do you think said prospect is going to go?
There are a handful of elite programs in the south, which only have 11 scholarships to give out. The elite of the elite are the only ones who can truly choose between 6 or 7 colleges. There again, you can have your opinion and I can have mine.
quote:
Do you really think these elite high school prospects don't know players currently playing? Do you think they don't talk?
Do you really think an 18 year old kid is going to listen to half the stuff he is told, whether by former players or current players? Most of them think, well that won't happen to me.
quote:
That's exactly what you've done here
No, what I've done is give an opinion and have given more information on what formed my opinion. I have said numerous times, everyone has their own opinion and that's fine with me.
quote:
I see Anthony Randaudo, Alex Bregman, among others, come back to visit all the time. Blake Dean talks about how much of a mentor Paul was to him as a player and a coach.
Again, never said they don't come back to town. You don't see any of them tweeting out pictures with PM or saying a whole lot about him. Of course Blake Dean is going to say something like that. He gave him his start in coaching and recruits in Louisiana. He's not going to bad mouth his former coach.

You don't have to believe me, I was just giving my two cents on the interactions I had with former players. I am curious as to the statement that is the direct opposite of what I said. Interesting to say the least, if that statement was made and it's accurate. As far as the recruiting statement goes, absolutely LSU Baseball recruits itself. It's no different than working for a fortune 500 company and having an a-hole as your boss. It's a status symbol for ANY high school baseball player to get recruited and play for LSU. Not to mention, do you really think he's going into these houses being an arse to the kid and parents, while he is recruiting him.
Recruiting is a very shady and deceiving game. Like I told the other guy, you have your opinion and I have mine. I'm not going to sit here and go back and forth to try and convince you how the former players I've talked to feel about him. I do feel that if he was really well liked and loved by former players, you would see a lot more of them make public statements about him or be seen with him on campus when they're back in town.

For someone who is calling me stupid, you can't read into things too well. I never said 10 players is a majority. If you really think these guys don't talk and give each other their opinions on how they feel about a former coach, then that's your opinion. If you have former players that are playing at the next level feel that way about him, then you can bet that the majority of the former players feel the same way. Go look at other college coaches and see how many of their former players come out and talk good about them or quote them in interviews about being a part of their success or giving them life lessons. Joe Scheuermann at Delgado is someone who former players have high opinions of. Tony Robichaux at ULL and Roger Cador at Southern as well. It's not that hard to see how the players, current and former, feel about him. Either way, I've said my two cents. We can both have our own opinion.
No, I clearly said that the majority of them don't care for him. My step brother pitched for him and went to the CWS. He was a high draft pick and has teammates that he still hangs out with, stood in a few of their weddings. The consensus of the majority of former players is what I stated. I've been in the middle of a conversation with 9 or 10 of them, who at the time, were all signed to MLB contracts or signed to their Minor League teams. These are the type of players who would normally have good things to say about him. It's very well known among the former players. I guess you know more because you can call me stupid on the internet.
A handful that have talked to other players within the program, former and past, is a little better gauge than a handful of coaches wanting to coach with him. I will take these former players words instead of anyone's on this board. Like I said, it's very well known players that all say the same thing in how they feel, along with other players opinions they have played with. I guess that does make me as stupid as him??

He's coached at LSU for 12 plus years, so that's at least 150 players or so. Because a handful want to coach at LSU or work their way into the college game means they want to work for him? Even if it is because they want to, that still leaves a lot left to not care for the guy. I've had conversations with players that have either won a world series with him or made it to the CWS with him, and they don't care for the guy at all.

You're on point with this. If you talk to the majority of the players that have played for him, the pitchers in particular, they do not care for the man at all. Most coaches play a big role in their players lives, after playing for them. In his case, most former players really don't want anything to do with him. It's one thing if you're winning national championships or even building character, but neither one of those are being accomplished with the way he handles things.
