You go Striker!!!! If some of these coaches were let go for their actions.I think you would see less of this kinda thing happening.Just like the Summerville football error...Are those coaches still there?I bet to say yes.Would they do it again?I bet they would.Why?Their jobs are not on the line.And it's all about the win.Right?

..and that is the cold hard TRUTH!

I have to agree.

The varsity girls shouldn't be punished in the playoffs. Isn't that the reason summerville was reinstated into the playoffs because it was a coaching judgement error and the players shouldn't be penalized. Heck, the team made it to state. Granted that was the Great SMVL football legacy and we all know how it was ultimately going to turn out. However, the coach involved is gone and the district revisited their rules/practices and assured everyone that it will never happen again.

Why wasn't that option offered to this team-Suspend coach - limit tournament play? But cutting out playoffs for a pre-season infraction is harsh.

Debil,

I said let them play in the post season if the HC does not coach them, SHS suspended the JV coach that made the mistake.

I say come on b/c you are "pampering" a grown man who willingly broke the rules. A slap onthe wrist just won't do this time. Younever know how many other times he got away w/ it?

I understand your point of view. I hope my words havent made anyone believe I condone the actions of the coach. All this is just something to get us through until the Viking Cup and regular season stars!

LDA.... If I understood the rules correctly. I thought it was as follows:
1- ban the program from participating in tournaments and postseason.
2- Ban the coach AND the players involved in the infraction from playing in the upcoming season.

If so the fact that they are playing in the season was a showing of leniency. The hire and fire of the coach is up to the district.

So do I agree? honestly I do not know... where is the difference between this and having a basketball PE class in the fall or spring football. Why is football the only sport allowed to practice two seasons in a scholl year?.

The rule was broken, punishment was issued and Michelle Kwan should not be going to Turin.

I guess some ARE more equal than others.

Could you explain the part about a "showing of leniency"?

Most suitable punishment would have been:
1) No pre-season scrimmages (the team has to be reprimanded in some fashion for starting early)
2) Discharge the coach (who violated the rules)

The team really gained no advantage with the early start, but they should be allowed to play their season, tournaments and post season.

Why don't they just fine the coach $500.00? Hitting the pocket book would be a good incentive not to do it anymore and the team doesn't pay for it.

But this is the same coach that filed a protest against an ex-player because her parents got a divorce and her mother switch from DF to Irmo during the move. So the player moved to Irmo for obivious reasons and the DF coach filled a complaint that restricts the player from playing a simgle game this year at Irmo.
