I read article in paper about closed practices. The reasoning did not make good sense. I have attended practices for past 5-6 years, maybe longer. there was never enough folks at practice in the stands to have any effect on what was talking place on field in regards to players or coaching staff. I never saw more than 8-10 fans at a practice. If players/coaches are focused on 8 fans sitting on top row of bleachers, there is a problem somewhere that closed practices will not solve.

I'm not worried about the fans here but the media.

Yeah. Gretna doesn't close their practices and look how successful they have been.

Is this a real quote from before BeeJay edited his post? If so, it's not surprising.

I did say it. I thought about it and FH had a point, so I deleted it (even though ballcoach does come up with some headshakers at times)
