Good advice.  I have juniors that are at an even 2.0 - is 7/8 enough, or even lower?  I understand the approach from when they come in the program, but since this is my first year at the school, I have to deal with these upperclassmen that have low grades (all SO/JR between 2.0-2.2)!

Thanks!

i would start with 0 and adjust up at midterms. i believe the first half of grades (what you see at midterms) is only around a third of the final grades - so you may as well go soft early and load up later if you need to. for the guys who you don't really have much to practice, or who are the stars of the team, you might want to throw them some SH minutes. i generally go with 0 for everyone except mid 2s or lower freshman - 3.0 and higher freshman almost never need more that 0 study hall minutes. a good half of my players graduate or leave early without every getting a minute of SH time, it really has less of an impact on grades than one would expect.
