Has the UIL Succeeded in Losing Its Confidence and Credibility?

Has the UIL finally succeeded in losing its confidence and credibility with both the coaching and officiating communities? Take the poll, then offer justification for your answer.   z^

Arbitrator, are you feeling OK? I'm asking because your post contains only two smileys (no tipping hat guy either) and only 27 words.

Is this poll question driven by a particular incident?  Without understanding the context of the question, the poll is meaningless.  Is this just an off take on the coaches evaluation forms?  The whole UIL/TASO dispute?  Or something new?

No particular incident in mind. Moreso, just from an accumulation of things that can be attributed to the UIL in quite recent history: grade forms; attempting to usurp all public school officiating in Texas and its disdain for TASO; the hiring of a UIL director of officials; the lawsuit with TASO; no one in the football coaches circle in the UIL brain trust, the UIL release of Cliff Odenwald, et. al.   z^

I think they've lost credibility with US, but I think the coaches are probably pretty happy with what they're doing. From my viewpoint, most ADs are the head var coach, correct? I dont think they'd support destroying the UIL to make things right again.

From the coaches I've visited with, I'd have to say that there are a quite a few administrators/AD's that are solidly in the UIL's corner, but a there's also a lot of the head coaches and their coaching staffs that couldn't give a tinkers damn about  :bOW Manor Road, greatly looking upon them as benevolent dictators!   z^

Can you lose something you never had?
