SCHEDULING???????

What is your take?
How many coaches do you know that when they schedule they look for the softest teams possible? Why do they do that? They might be interested in padding their win totals, you think? I am sure they have a hundred reasons for doing so.

How about the coach who has decided that he is moving on next season and schedules the toughest teams he can find for “the new guy”? Which one do you think is worse?
What about the “elite” team that goes out and is always looking for the very best competition available? This guy would schedule a Top Ten team every week if it was possible?

What difference does it really make? What is the point of the regular season? Win your district or finish as a runner up so as to make the playoffs, am I right? That being the case it would be well to be tested somewhere before Bi District wouldn’t it? Reminds me of the old NBA question, can the Lakers really just turn on the switch when they have to? How does building team confidence play into it? Can you “beat “ yourself to death with a hellish type schedule?

When is it best to risk a loss even to a superior team? Early on? Wait for district and let the chips fall where they may? What is the answer? To each their own?
Why do I enjoy Hico every year? It is the competition! I like coaches that say “let’s see where we are starting in WEEK ZERO”, rather than waiting to WEEK FIVE or worse in the playoffs.

Does a fan and a coach think differently about such business?
