No doubt he has been blessed with talent. But I've yet to see a successful coach win with tomato cans.
I never undermined Buzz Gabos...

You’ve got a great resume...AAU coach, North Hills frosh boys’ coach...Plenty of relevant experience! What’s not to like?? Has BobbyBee called you to inquire about your interest in the NA head boys’ basketball job???

He did call me and threw the world at me. But I told him I am waiting for the University of Florida job. Mike White will take over for Mike White.

What names are being heard in the NA coaching job? Been hearing a lot that it's probably the North Catholic coaches job

Ever since Dave DeGregorio left it has been said by many that he might return someday. I have no inside info that Dave would do that. I also have no inside info that Dave would not return. I don't know. Have to wait and see. Dave's youngest son is a senior at NA. So would he want to leave now? But would he want to come back to NA? I know parents became a problem when he was there even though that was not said publicly. Does he want to go back to that? Do they want him back? As the "NA World Turns."
Pants!

You do do a nice job on your coverage.  Still, in the age of tech it would be easy to pull a quick summation of baseball/softball games instead of just game scores.  Game changer, for example pulls all you need automatically.  More kids play baseball/softball than BB and work hard and deserve a little accolades after having a full year lost.  Any thoughts to that

We will start spring sports roundups soon. And sorry, if you think most teams would send us something on GameChanger or similar, you're wrong. It's like pulling teeth to get all WPIAL schools to send us score. Many of them do not use such an app. And still many don't even send scores to us.

So I see various HS now have Boche teams. Is that a real thing ? Is it WPIAL sanctioned ? Why aren't there Bowling teams ?

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Heard Jeff Ackermann was interested in the NA Job!
Mike White
11:53
Not sure of that. Don't have any factual info on that.

Hey, about the earlier question of whether Cardinal O'Hara player boxed out Char Valley player on the jump ball.  A loyal follower of this chat, just texted me a still photo from jump ball. Sure looks like O'Hara player made contact. Not good. I think officials might have missed that one.

I would agree!  Bad call on jump ball!
Mike White
11:57
Bad no call.

I’ll bowl you over with some information to answer Boche Balls question. A lot of schools have a bowling team but it’s not WPIAL sanctioned. They are part of the WPIBL.
Mike White

Yes, I know bowling is not sponsored by WPIAL. And I know some schools have bowling teams. Believe it or not, twice I have been a bowling alley in last few years when a high school bowling match has been going on. The fans were going crazy.

Gotta love the NA boys’ basketball parents running DeGregorio out of town. The program has gotten what they’ve deserved since then.

I don't know why Dan DeRose resigned or if he was asked to resign. Don't know full story. They're not really talking out there about it.
12:03
Well hey everyone, that's about it. Honestly, it's been great doing this chat again in football and basketball. I actually enjoy it, despite the absurd questions sometimes. Thank you all for participating and for keeping the questions coming. Hopefully, we'll be back again next year. Everyone, be good and health to everyone. Now it's time to get my hat, my coat and leeeeeavvve.
