Congrats to Coach Heitmeier for reaching the 200-win milestone today with the Wildcats 5-2 win over Marion. Coach Heitmeier is in his ninth season as head coach of the Wildcats.
I've wanted to share from a coaches perspective some of the challenges & observations about the @IHSAA changing the @iahsbb season schedule, where we are in year 2 of its implementation. I'm hoping coaches and the @IAHSBCA can fight for us to change it back. A thread 🧵
