Wow....I hope you are joking.....

Absolutely not. 2000-2007 were probably my favorite years watching HS hoops. I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to see SVSM & NCH over 20 games each.

....time will tell but I just have to wonder if the only things changing on Spartan Way is the names
of the coaches.....RM

AND if it does happen those OHSAA people will turn a blind ehas always been based ye once again so as not to face the
"competitive balance" issue again......

I differentiate between Div I and Div III. In that sense things are not the same. But your point is well taken. Not too much will be different... Still, for me, it is hard to build up the same vitriolic reaction to a Lima All-Star team playing a Columbus All-Star team versus a Lima All-Star team playing Allen East.

I will also guess that the typical Lima Senior fan will not pretend academics, superior work ethic, etc are the only explanations for hypothetical successes...assuming any of these real possible scenarios come true.

A lot of reactions toward LCC are simply based upon their fans' past attitudes. Whether fair, in good taste, etc...I'm guessing a typical reaction to any player movement from LCC to Senior will be..."GOOD...couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch." Their lack of humility during the good times, NWC years, etc...make them a very unsympathetic victim in any of these possible worst case prediction scenarios. Again, I'm not saying such a lack of sympathy is warranted...though an argument could be made it is... I am just commentating on my perception of how this plays out. I don't think anybody outside of the church faithful are going to lose an ounce of sleep over LCC losing an opportunity at another decade of DIV III basketball dominance.

If Div I Lima Senior is the benefactor of Div III LCC's talent hoard colapse...so be it. Seems like a step in a more fair and reasonable direction...to many...

The competative balance proposal was never going to affect Lima Senior anyhow...but the OHSAA can and will do nothing when and if the majority off these cases fall under the bona fide move clause.

If X and co all end up transferring, does anybody see lcc or Frankie kill going to the ohsaa to put a stop to it? Or run an 'investigation' into the situation being for 'basketball' only?

That would be the biggest bush league move ever.....
This is precisely why I hope this stupid rule is challenged in court.

Not if Ron Williams is there they won't. Class guy who I get the impression isn't all that thrilled with all these guys transferring in anyway.

[old coach]

Your impression is way off base on that reply and I'm sure Mr. Williams and Mr. Kill want all three to stay. Furthermore they're not going to petition the OHSAA to stop them if the players and their parents want to transfer. I'm sure all parties involved know that any player who played basketball for LCC in 2013-2014 season who wishes to transfer has to sit out the first 11 games of the 2014-2015 season.

[NWbballfan]

It's happened before and it could happen knowing the shift of power that is going to make its way from cable road to spartan way.

This certainly seems likely...

why would they go with a two-years out of coaching Davis when Brock Howe is sitting there in the wings...

I didn't say he'd be "two years out of coaching"......lol. I said the other day I can't see Q staying at LSH once X is in college....Davis coming on as an assistant solves that problem...and likely may eventually mean that LSH would get the coach they really wanted in the first place.

I think they got the coach they wanted

Q and Davis together would be interesting...but not likely. going from HC to assistant to a young fella in his first varsity HS gig may be tough for DD to swallow

[juan]

could a second announcement come later this week in Doug Davis being named golf coach at Lima Senior. perfect man to keep an eye on the kids while Q is not in the building.
