The news in MN right now is about ADs with zero backbone. The best AD I ever had, @adamsjl6, had a backbone that Wolverine would be jealous of. @MSHSL needs act. It's not new, it's getting worse. We are losing quality coaches and officials. Common denominator? Entitled Parents.

@CoachRMcDonald Not saying it's right or wrong, but when you have 128 teams in the conference...

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@RepPeteStauber Can I get you to guarantee the Hibbing Hospital will not shut down? If what you say is true, that's an easy promise for you to make. If you are lying, you will ignore this.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@CoachRMcDonald Or here is a novel idea. Don't say anything that would be considered coaching. Know your role and do your job.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@JohnCarrier42 Just put "Future Elite" in your name and you're gold.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

I don't go to @McDonalds often. I go when I'm in a hurry. My local McDonalds gets my order wrong 66% of the time and is slow. I use the mobile app, but they can't reimburse me through mobile. Serious flaw in your computer system. All I hear are excuses when I call that franchise.

@CoachBradBigler What will this do to the integrity of AA…sorry couldn’t even finish typing that statement. 🤣

The Big-Red Head: “Jerry West! The Logo! Welcome to the greatest basketball game of all time! Plus the Grateful Dead play at Halftime.”
The Logo: “Aren’t some of them still alive.”
The Big-Head Red Head: “Funny thing about that. You’re on Elgin’s team. Tip off 20 minutes.”

@CoachDavidGrace Cut his teeth as a Minnesota High School coach, of course he had success.

@CoachDame_BSM Aren’t these the ones that were against masks? Now they think it’s cool?

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@CoachTomParks I had that happen in the handshake line.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@JUCOadvocate If they played the same sport, who would win? Hilltoppers or Bishop Sycamores?

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@JUCOadvocate @JUCOadvocate please please do a livestream sit down with them.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@CoachDame_BSM It’s all about perspective. All of the statues are that size outside their practice facilty.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@Curley_Synergy I see your Bucks and raise you Vikings kickers.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

It’s critically more important to teach your players how to play basketball than how to run a basketball play.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@JohnCarrier42 It’s not the Xs and the Os it’s the Jimmys and the Joes. But guess what, it’s up to you to develop those Jimmys and Joes. The adage don’t give them a fish, teach them to fish. Which basically means teach them how to play basketball not how to run a basketball play.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

@JohnCarrier42 You bet you do.

[Paul Ciochetto @B_AIR_MN]

Just a suggestion @NCAA. Maybe not make your logo so big on the jerseys.
