And more sad news. John Warren Geils Jr., the guitarist and founder of the eponymous J. Geils Band, has died, police say. (link: http://cnn.it/2nCsjJy) cnn.it/2nCsjJy

Sorry but motivational speakers usually just motivate me to hate motivational speakers. The Gordon thing hit a nerve because I have hear about him all the time at work. You can call me an "Energy Vampire" if you want!

Be positive. There, I just summed up every book Gordon ever wrote. No need to read them, as they all say exactly the same thing. I just don't get why people find this guy so interesting.

Good luck to him. I have a daughter who is just starting her teaching career.

A good combination to find a job. Is he sure he wants to enter the coaching field? (Does he read this board?)

Let's give them all a call and see if they want to all play together for NU. I think we have room!

I always felt the same way. Things seemed different without the bleacher floor seating for the students. It really felt different for the high school state tournament. I like the PBA but I think the Bob was better for watching a game.

The situation at Peru State does not sound good and maybe Behrens saw a way out here. I just wonder if it is coincidence or was Holling forced out with Behrens in mind as a replacement. BTW love the avatar bobcat (Go Bucs!)

Yup. Makes you wonder if this was in the works for a while. Always thought high school coaching was a little different from college as far as hiring and stability goes, but this does not sound like a good situation to me.

Rumor is the Coach Behrens will apply to return to Central.

I have heard Chang might go out of state for his Senior year.

And what Colhusker said.

There is a blast from our past! Many on this board wanted this guy badly a few years ago.

It is all part of the game. Usually the AD will ask permission from the other AD to talk to a coach under contract. I wonder if that has happened here.

I really liked Ed's effort on the boards, something we have not had a lot of over the years but going forward I was concerned that his foot injury would be constant and he would never be the player we hoped for. I really wonder where he will end up and if it is true he wants to play the wing I don't see a coach in the nation that will watch film of him and say I want that guy to by my 3 man. Hope it works out for him, but I don't see a program, big or small that will have him play outside.

Jeff Smith is retiring at Lincoln Southeast. That means Omaha Central, Lincoln SE and Omaha Westside coaching positions all come open the same year.

And Melo has declared for the NBA

Wow! What in the world caused San Jacinto to give up their basketball program?

I was never on that floor but Midland, Doane and Kearney's Junior High had the same type of floor. (among others) It was suppose to be next big thing but I think it was determined that the tartan floor caused knee injuries and were not easy to keep clean and in good condition.

Did anyone hear Frank Martin's post game talk with the press? I have always thought Martin was kind of shady and a bit of an ass, but a young reporter from SI kids complimented his defense and asked him if it was more important to teach attitude on defense or a team system (paraphrasing here) I thought Martin was going to light him up and after a pause he told him that was best question a reporter has ever asked him (and then said attitude was more important) I thought it was a cool moment for the kid and a little bit funny knock on the other media people. Kind of changed my opinion of Martin and I think he has really matured as a coach.

Many schools had to send the balls back because they would become oblong after just a few practices. I think they have improved the quality of the ball but many felt the NSAA made a huge mistake with that contract.

I hated those brand new out of the box Wilson Jets. Once they got worked in they were fine, but man they were slippery out of the box. Could never understand why they would use a slick brand new ball for games or district games.
