forfeited game

[Passion4theGame]

I respect your opinion. I just don't see where someone can say she has NO shot next year? But that's just my opinion. And yes, the kid in question I was referring to with Jeff was the West kid. A public school.

Scott, We both have gave back to this game for many years.
I doubt either one of us would teach our Athlete to disrespect the program as this case has.

Take a minute and put yourself on that HS staff.
If Said Athlete comes to your school ball tryouts do you or do you not believe this issue would be brought up? It would be in the back of everyone's minds too.
This is the Kid that Dad needed to win a $12 ring instead of staying committed to our program.
IMO I wouldn't take a chance on this Athlete again.

Again this is MY OPINION.


Keep in mind, I am NOT saying this Athlete is a Bad athlete or not good enough to play the game. Simply saying with the stunt Dad pulled I wouldnt take a chance again.

I'm with you on almost all lf that. To answer your question, if I were on that staff, Id want to sit down with the kid and parents. I'm painting a zero tolerance policy for anything. I just can't imagine a way that she loses her entire high school career bc of one bad decision (by Dad) in her FR year. However, I do realize that sometimes people must learn the hard way.

Just throwing this out there to consider. Don't schools or OHSAA have a cannot compete rule for a year if they change schools?

it's not a year, it's the back half of the next season (including all playoffs). And involves 9-12th grades only. UNLESS they are granted a waiver. There are a bunch of different waiver categories. Read them all several years ago. Example, there is one for if the student has to transfer to a new school because they become blind or deaf. I'd be wrong if I claimed to recall them all, but I want to say there were like 7-9 different waiver categories.

How does your DD and her teammates feel about losing an outright league title because of having to forfeit a game?
How does the coaching staff feel about it?
