Before we moved to Edmond a couple of years ago, I coached my older son in Houston (The Woodlands) and we would have 300+ kids to draft from. They did it by age, so 5 & 6 yr Olds, 7 & 8, 9 & 10, etc. We could only have 2 protects, so you basically had a new team every year. From  my experience, I'll say this. Age makes a big difference...a kid may be a stud one year when he's one of the older kids, but the next year he's just another player when he has to move up a division. Everyone is drafting from the same pool of players, but everyone views talent differently. Some coaches draft better than others and that is important...but coaching is important and maybe more so than the draft. It was always the same 3 or 4 coaches playing for a championship every year with different teams.

Personally, I think you can look at BA black as a perfect example. Obviously they had a good draft last year, but they were coached extremely well. You could have put those coaches on the sideline of any of the other BA team and they would have had similar type success. Same thing could be said for the Bixby, Jenks Maroon, Lincoln Christian, Glenpool, Norman, etc coaches. They all have plans and get their players to execute. As a coach, you know it when you see it and play against it. Having some studs always helps as well.

🤔🤔🤔🤔 and golds best player somehow ended up on ba black which I could careless honestly but thought it was a little fishy

Actually 4 of Ba golds better players are on Ba black..   I don’t believe any team was “stacked”, a coach getting the short end of the stick on draft day trades because he wasn’t knowledgeable about the players in 4th grade, MAYBE.

Coach12, you are absolutely right. I respect where this thread was suppose to go and I'm not the one that twisted it. A shot here or there but it seemed to me that's where the thread was going and unfortunately did get under my skin more than it should have. I have great respect for everyone in here. We have a group of kids that work very hard and I've never coached with a better staff that I learn something from everyday. We follow the rules that's all there is to it. I do apologize for the clown comment. It was unnecessary and in bad taste. However, so was the continued talk. I felt the need speak up and used the wrong choice of words. I love to coach. Like all of you,  we work very hard to try to help put the kids in a position to be successful. Sometimes I let what people think bother me. I'm guilty of that. Don't want our team or coaches to be thought of as cheaters. I want to be a good coach and even if I'm not liked by some hopefully I'm still respected because I'm a good coach that gives the kids everything I got because I want them to succeed. This grade is loaded with phenomenal teams and coaches and it's a lot of fun preparing our kids each and every week for big game.i don't apologize for defending our coaches  and team. I apologize for some of the ways I went about it. There's some big games tomorrow. Good luck to all the teams and coaches. I can feel it in the air. It's almost playoff time! Sure has gone by fast

@BA Black Wolf, just wanted to say thanks for the amazing things you are doing for your kids. As you pointed out in your post, I sure hope that one day our players become tough enough to handle one of your practices.  Sounds amazing. Thanks for your great leadership and example, you are really setting the gold standard in this league. Until then, we’ll take your reco and get back to watching more film.
