Agreed in principle. But is there a chance -- just a chance, mind you -- that one benefit of having 8 assistants during a game is PRECISELY that you can string them out along your side of the field in an attempt to gain competitive advantage.

I absolutely agree that an unenforced rule is no rule at all. In which case, a very senior coach should be taking the lead in policing his own sideline and encouraging others to do likewise.



i agree, all i've heard here is everyone kissing savitzs ass.
i'd say he's the problem regarding the shenanigans of his program.
he might need to step back & re-evaluate

I agree with early posts that Irmo should schedule more difficult non-region match ups. Palmetto Cup right in their backyard, why aren't they attending? Wando had a much harder overall schedule which I feel prepared the team and the coaching staff better.

Regarding schedules and scheduling, our high school coach told me that he has input on only about 2 of his matches each year. The vast majority of his matches are set each year by the athletic directors of the region (region 8, 4A).

If I understood the coach correctly, then he doesn't have a whole lot of leeway towards making a tougher schedule for his boys. Does anybody know if this type thing occurs anywhere else, or is it just region 8? (again, if I heard him right)

Sounds about right. My last 7 or 8 years at Fort D, we met as area coaches(usually in West Ashley--kind of midway except for Beaufort folks) with much of the schedule already pre-determind--we just made sure dates were OK and tried to pick up a few scrimmages. In region 7 we played our region teams home and away and we played region 8 teams once.
We had room for a couple of games and many of us tried to pick up B.E.and perhaps A.M.

Yes the Palmetto Cup is a top notch tournament with great competition but it also falls in the middle of a pretty long season. Perhaps Coach Savitz thinks it better serves his team to rest over spring break before the final stretch of the season and playoffs as opposed to playing a number of games in a small period of time. Just a thought. Its not like Irmo hasn't played teams such as Northwestern, Norman North, and others in the Lake Murray Challenge. Yes teams develop over the course of a season but I don't think Irmo tries to hide from competition during the season.
