Time Stands Still:

The Dual State proposal I refered to was the one in which the top two teams from each Regional in 6A and 5A and top four in each Regional from 4A a 3-2-1A would go to a State tournament the week after traditional State. The in-season Duals tourney was not part of the KWCA proposal.

KSHSSA has not yet adopted Dual State mainly because of scheduling problems, as well as a hesitancy from the board to add a second tournament, however the proposal is far from dead — it just needs some tweaking.

And as for the reference about parents and fans, perhaps a better way to put it is that KSHSAA is going to accept the views of coaches and administrators first. If the coaches and administrators aren't interested, KSHSAA won't be either. So parents and fans who feel the need to he need to take one of these administrators to "either the mat or the woodshed..." are not going to be taken very seriously.

And finally, like every coach, I invite and welcome the support of parents and fans, provided it is support and not an attempt to run things --- and don't say that doesn't happen because we all know it does. And members of that group lobbing idle threats at state administrators is not support.
