the coach that never punts

Cool story, some excerpts below:
Just Go For It!
By the end of the first quarter, Pulaski hadn't punted or attempted a field goal on any of its four fourth downs -- unsurprising when you consider that its roster lists neither a punter nor a kicker.


Pulaski hasn't punted since 2007 (when it did so as a gesture of sportsmanship in a lopsided game), and here's why: "The average punt in high school nets you 30 yards, but we convert around half our fourth downs, so it doesn't make sense to give up the ball," Kelley says. "Besides, if your offense knows it has four downs instead of three, it totally changes the game. I don't believe in punting and really can't ever see doing it again."
