Coming out of the All-Ohio Selections thread, http://www.game-ex.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=36639 , there was some criticism of the selection process. We do see this criticism every year but maybe it is time to review that process.
I have no discord with the current selection process for District and State awards. My DD has received District and State awards, her high school career is over, and I have no other children. But with any process, we must continually look to see if there is a better way.
I think there might be a better process. In the current process, if a single league has more coaches in attendance that the other leagues or independent schools, then that league can control the selections, much like our current government legislative process.
So, what if each district adopted the following process:
I would really like to hear from HS coaches on this. Has this, or any other selection format, been used in the past? If so, what was it's weaknesses. Do you think the current process is the best process and if so, why?

So, what if each district adopted the following process:
- Each district will establish a Selection Board to select athletes to the All-District and All-Ohio Teams.
- Each league within a district will select 2 coaches within each division to sit on the Selection Board.
- Independent schools within a district will select 2 coaches within each division to sit on the Selection Board.
- If a league or Independent school has less than 2 schools in a particular division, that league and/or Independent school will automatically get 1 seat each on the Selection Board.
- Any OHSFSCA coach can nominate any district athlete for a District or State award.
- The board will vote on all nominations. A simple majority is required for selection.
