Head Coach - Girls Basketball - West Salem HS, (OR) Oregon Top Prospects Girls AAU Coach

Joined July 2012
“As long as teams don’t violate the transfer rules” is spot on. The issue is that some know that the OSAA isn’t equipped to investigate schools that are playing out of bounds and it falls to the school’s administrators to investigate themselves.
Replying to @AndySnacks
Transfers aren't great but this proposal seems silly. Why not do the inverse of what's proposed? If "community-based" teams really matter that much to supporters, then lobby for a community-based championship separate from the OSAA championships. As long as teams don't violate transfer rules, the OSAA championships should be competed for by the best teams. It's the state title. It's supposed to be hard. Sports are inherently unfair. I sympathize with coaches who feel hindered by transfers, but building a program starts at the youth level. Create a program kids want to play for.

Not under consideration for this season with school already in session. I think everyone involved is open to recommendations and changes that would address the problem before it’s too late to put the cork back in the bottle

That’s truth about current rules not being enforceable. Do you know coach, is it likely to be implemented this HS season? Just with it starting in approximately a month ?

I’d encourage anyone to withhold judgment until both ORCA and the OSAA release the entire proposal with the additional data. If you’re looking for the number of teams that would have been ineligible by year, that is already included in the proposal
The ORCA committee continues to pull data using historical roster information provided by the OSAA and is much, much more than what you mention here including that varsity transfers are up 45% in the last 4 years The current rules are no longer enforceable

It’s not meant to curb all transfers and most often transfers happen for the right reason. Allowing 25% of your varsity roster to be transfers and remain eligible for the state playoffs would still allow for those

And for the record, I’m anti super teams. That’s what AAU is for. I just don’t think the justification for this proposal is well supported by the data, other than “we all hate transfers”

Did you read the actual proposal? I think you’d find there is a ton of data included in the 49-page proposal that you’d find interesting 88% of 5/6a boys and girls coaches voted in favor of this with over 72% of 5/6a Athletic Directors approval as well
Had some thoughts on this proposed OSAA basketball transfer-limiting proposal. Mostly that it's not great. andysnacks25.substack.com/p/…

Hard to imagine a weaker defensive team in the last 20 years than if this played out.
Interesting Lebron to the Blazers take from Reddit I'm not saying Lebron should or will come to #ripcity, I just thought this was an interesting take.

Well done. This is cool
It’s only been 5 days since I launched Geosports and 44k people played before 10am. Mind is blown. Apparently there’s nothing else dudes like more than sports and maps

Best teaching point we’ve found is ensuring the cutter goes underneath the on ball defender. Don’t let the on-ball defender cheat under and meet on the other side
A slice cut to start a possession is one of our base ways to begin. The slice can go towards the 2 side or it can go towards the single side. We practice flowing into action after the slice by playing 3v3, 4v4, 5v5. Players have choices.

'28 PG Lily Griffin showed up big time for West Salem, combining for 29 PTS / 16 REB / 6 STL in 2 playoff Ws to help the Titans advance to State. Griffin, named to the CVC 2nd Team, is a tenacious perimeter defender who can knock down threes and get to the rim. ...
The first two rounds of the 6A playoffs wrapped on Saturday. @nicoleprosenow highlighted nine players who were hooping early in the postseason. Link to article in reply ⬇️

Emma Zuniga quieted the West Salem doubters after leading the No. 9 Titans over No. 8 Jesuit in the Round of 16. The PSU commit is a 2-way player and 3-level scorer who combined for 37 PTA / 16 REB in two playoff Ws… Who was hooping in the 6A playoffs? Link in reply ⬇️
