Spring Edition 2012 - Illinois Coaches Association

lighting the way by sharing ideas
Winter Spring 2012
EXECUTIVE’S SECRETARY COLUMN
Coaches Support Needed!!!! Change is part of life. More often than not, people resist
change. This seems to be the case with the IHSA Boys Basketball State Final Tournaments.
It is obvious by the empty seats that schools do not support the tourney as in years past.
Illinois has been respected across the United States for their vision regarding the state tourneys. At a time when the words ‘Final Four’ are met with such hoopla and publicity we, as
coaches, should give the same recognition to the Illinois edition. The young people involved
deserve this, as their participation is still recognized as a highlight, not only in their high
school career, but something they will carry with them for life. Let’s get involved again!!
A very encouraging article appeared in the Peoria Journal Star during the state basketball
John K. Elder
tournament. Dan Ruffin, Coach of the 3A State Champion, Peoria High Lions made comments
Executive Secretary
Illinois Coaches Association
regarding high school athletes enjoying the total experience by participating in multiple sports
rather than specializing in one sport. It came as a breath of fresh air and with the PHS team
winning the championship it reinforced the idea that we don’t need specialization to be successful
***************************************************************************************************
The Spring Sport season is on us. What great early weather we have had to begin the season. As the season progresses many challenges will be encountered by coaches. This always the case as the school year ends. Many
activities, Prom, Spring Musicals, Play Days, Skip Days, and Graduation are all activities which we must schedule
around. Let’s make these experiences positive for all young people as these activities are a big part of their high
school experience.
***************************************************************************************************
The ICA and the Mohammed Shrine have partnered to bring a High School All Star Football Game to the state for
37 years. The game was held at ISU for 20 years, but has been held in Peoria, with practices at Eureka College for
the past 17 years. Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington will serve as the site for all activities and the game
beginning with the 2012 game. Rosters appear in this edition.
****************************************************************************************************

The Illinois Coaches Association is endorsing Educational
Resources as a source for Graduate Level Classes.
This program has been quite successful in adjoining states and
offers valuable opportunities for any educator.
Football Officials Needed-Illinois High Schools
Coaches and Athletic Directors are encountering much difficulty
in securing officials for Football Games. Many games are being
moved to alternate dates, thus disrupting the organization of high
school teams. Their is definitely a need for interested parties to
become involved as a high school football official. This a great
way to stay involved in high school sports and work with young
people. Encourage young people interested in football to pursue
this avocation, or at least visit with some veteran official about the
benefits of this involvement. Who knows where it could lead
them!! Contact the IHSA 309-663-6377
ILLINOIS COACHES ASSOCIATION has a brochure outlining benefits of membership and activities available through
membership. Contact the ICA Office and we will send you an
ample amount for your coaches.
HELP NEEDED AT GIRLS STATE TRACK MEETS—
Due to many conflicts and the overlapping with Boys Sectional
Meets, The IHSA Girls State Track Meet has a need for event
officials. Interested parties contact Ron McGraw at 309-6636377 or 2715 McGraw Drive, Bloomington, IL 61702-2715
