Can we all agree to never let ESPN have the Stanley Cup Playoffs again?

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@coachkays @SteveFryer @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports I’m excited to see it. Obviously, adjustments need to be made. Sounds extensive!

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@coachkays @SteveFryer @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports I’m also totally open to this being picked apart. I’m no data analyst, just tried to put everything down and see it as it is. Obviously there are exceptions but there’s also an obvious trend.

@coachkays @SteveFryer @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports I'm curious to hear what you mean by that. Do you believe enrollment plays a role in competitiveness?

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@SteveFryer @coachkays @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports That’s why I suggested a tiered enrollment based system. This is completely an example but D9 < 1,000 enrollement, D8 < 1,500, etc. while still using the new playoff determination model. There has to be a floor on these large schools.

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@SteveFryer @coachkays @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports And yet the data shows that larger schools in these the higher divisions are generally more successful than smaller schools. I have more datasets than Girls Bball. There are exceptions of course.

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@SteveFryer @coachkays @CIFSS @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports Divisions 7-9 specifically.

[Austin Fry @AustinTFry]

@SteveFryer @coachkays @CIFSS @latsondheimer @Tarek_Fattal @SGVNSports Enrollment ceiling tier for divisions. Example: no reason schools 1000+ enrollment belong in Divisions 8, 9. Small (private) schools can be as good as they want, go to the most competitive divisions. Larger schools not allowed in the less competitive divisions.

I cannot stress this enough:

PLAY MULTIPLE SPORTS IN HIGH SCHOOL

New teams, new roles, new bonds built, new opportunities to compete, etc.

College coaches love to see multi-sport athletes and prefer them over specialization.

This has never changed.

This is a hill I die on.

Youth sports isn’t dying from lack of talent. It’s dying from overload. No free play, rest, recovery, off-seasons. Too many showcases & tournaments. Not enough development. Parent ego + social media pressure fuel the fire. We don’t need more exposure. We need better environments.
