Sounds a lot like my AD, as a matter of fact. A couple of years ago he told us we could only practice on the one football practice field, including girls and boys, JV and varsity squads. When I told him it wasn't practical for all four teams to share one field, his response was, "Well, the basketball teams have to share one gym, but they find a way to get it done; they just split the practice times. Girls can practice 3:30-6, boys can practice 6-8:30. Don't see why you can't do the same; if they want to play they can come late and practice."

It wasn't until I asked him whether he planned to pay for lights to be installed on the practice field, or for night vision goggles for all the boys' players that he realized the situations weren't quite the same.


I've got good news and bad news...
