“I don\u2019t think any decent human being enjoys recruiting.”—Al McGuire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Writing a column the day after Jude Oliva steps down at Maranatha, might be the easiest thing I\u2019ve ever done…I\u2019m sick of writing about coaches quitting. This has been an extended crazy season regarding coaches, realignments, and transfers.<\/p>\n

We franchised tagged Tim Peterson the other day. Problem is we tagged him as a sportswriter and he wants to be slotted as an editor. We\u2019ll probably get him signed but we might have to release VillaTheDevil to stay under the cap…and of course I\u2019ll be expected to restructure…again.<\/p>\n

Getting some free food tonight at the National Football Foundation dinner at Brookside Park in Pasadena. Forty-three local football players will be in attendance and receiving scholarship funds. So it sounds like a good deal…at least until I find out who I\u2019m sitting next to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROCK PHOTOGRAPHER KEVIN ESTRADA HELPS RAISE AWARENESS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING WITH “ROCKERS AGAINST TRAFFICKING” AND BENEFIT SHOW<\/h3>\n

Veteran photographer Kevin Estrada has shot some of rock’s biggest names over the years – Nirvana, Kiss, REM, Green Day, Fergie, etc. And now, he is using his connections in the world of rock for a good cause – helping to raise awareness of human trafficking, by creating the organization “Rockers Against Trafficking” and scheduling an upcoming all-star benefit show, on April 11th at Paladino’s in Tarzana, CA (and sponsored by Monster Energy).<\/h3>\n

Speaking of sportswriters, someone tried to play the writer\u2019s block card on me the other day.<\/p>\n

Biggest Lie on the Planet? A sportswriter saying he\/she has writer\u2019s block. If you\u2019re involved in sports and don\u2019t feel like you have anything to write about or have developed something internal preventing you from putting fingers to keyboard the diagnosis is: Lazy! (Bum\/Slacker\/Stiff\/Or being in love) Not writer\u2019s block.<\/p>\n

Next Add Oliva: For the detractors, San Gabriel gets nowhere close to the 2011 finals without Oliva, the staff he put together, and the team they coached up.<\/p>\n

UCLA fans love Steve Alford now, but if they get blown out by Florida and struggle next year…will you love him then? A UCLA fan declaring loyalty to their basketball coach is like a film lover declaring Stephen Baldwin is an actor… \u201cI know he can get the job, but can he do the job?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

An upset is something that doesn\u2019t normally happen…but have you noticed \u201cupsets\u201d are part of the norm in the NCAA Tournament each year. I don\u2019t think Mercer beating Duke is that big of the deal, and it probably should happen more often than not…and going forward with all of the one and dones it probably will.<\/p>\n

I think the NFL is putting itself on track to a slow death. Agree with it or not, but I\u2019ve heard my whole life you can\u2019t legislate morality. Yet, that\u2019s exactly what the NFL seems to be attempting.<\/p>\n

If the country\u2019s economy picks up, do you think the climate might become right for a new football league in a few years? Not a subsidiary league playing in places like Cheyenne, Wyoming…but a straight head to head challenge? Possible?<\/p>\n

Next Add Oliva: We never published the comments left on our website that questioned Andy Guerrero\u2019s physical and emotional capacity to play football. He didn\u2019t have great size or a great arm, but someone coaxed championship caliber football out of him in 2011…and I think that someone was Oliva.<\/p>\n

First Add Guerrero: And Guerrero proved to be a great decision maker on the field.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m with Peterson, I\u2019m tired of all the jockeying and shifting going on between the leagues and divisions. My only wish would be for the divisions to be tight geographically and to consider football first. After that leave it all alone.<\/p>\n

Oh, I also believe we should make it \u201cokay\u201d for a school to drop its football program if it wants to.<\/p>\n

Last Add Oliva: Remember he caused the wind storm in 2011 to move San Gabriel\u2019s semi-final game with San Dimas from Friday to Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Really Last Add Oliva: Keep an eye on Temple City.<\/p>\n

Regards:<\/b><\/p>\n

In regards to violence never solving anything: Violence has solved a whole lot throughout history.<\/p>\n

In regards to the NCAA Tourney: Even though I\u2019ve always been a Dayton fan, I\u2019ve only got minimal interest.<\/p>\n

In regards to Alex Guerrero: The Dodgers are paying him a lot of money to not be a starter.<\/p>\n

In regards to coaching changes: This comes from \u201cThe 562\u201d…Since Sergio Gradilla was hired at Whittier Christian in 2009, Maranatha will have had four head coaches (once the new hire is made), Heritage Christian has had four, Village Christian has had three, and Valley Christian has had two. Eleven head coaching changes and none at the WC.<\/p>\n

In regards to Jim Kelly: Prayers.<\/p>\n
