Title: Has the UIL Succeeded in Losing Its Confidence and Credibility?
Post by: Arbitrator on November 03, 2011, 09:26:38 AM: ^flag

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^

;D

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^

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^
