Quote: Question to those who know more than I on the rules... can or should the RNE coach be disciplined by the SCHSL for quitting during a game? What a dissappointment the RNE coach is to the game of soccer.
I'll tag in for this one. From the SCHSL Constitution--refer particularly to the NOTE at the end of the section:
Section 8. Contracts for Contests A. Failure to fulfill a contract properly signed by the superintendent, principal or athletic director may subject the school to disciplinary action. A contract shall be the agreement of the parties concerned, reduced to writing and signed by each school. 1. Schools will not make contracts for more than two years. Any contract made for more than two years will not be valid. 2. Official contract forms may be obtained from the League Office or from the web page. B. So that opponents will know the grade level of the various teams sponsored by a member school, the member school will issue contracts and designate the top grade level permitted on the non-varsity teams for football, wrestling, and soccer. (Example: Junior Varsity--tenth grade and under.) C. The Commissioner will not enforce oral contracts or oral agreements to changes in written contracts.
NOTE: The Executive Committee considers it a breach of contract and unsportsmanlike conduct when a school official removes a team from the playing area before a game is completed.
