mcraycraft Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Eight boys who play high school basketball in Kentucky — five from Lexington — have been suspended for the first game of the regular season because of their participation in an organized basketball contest at an unallowed time. Athletic directors from Frederick Douglass, Lafayette, Montgomery County, Scott County and South Laurel each self-reported violations under the KHSAA’s Bylaw 9, which restricts basketball and football players from participating in organized contests of those sports outside of school from the first day of school through the school’s last scheduled contest (including postseason) in those sports.

LCDAWGS19 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 D U M B The KHSAA suspends kids for this, but transfers happen like the Wild West. Seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachBuckett Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The KHSAA rules are not very kid friendly. The schools and coaches benefit most by the rules. Kids suffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Suspended for just one game seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSBballfan24 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Kentucky kids can't attend camps or showcases during the school year either. Dumbest thing I've ever heard of. How does this create a competitive advantage for certain schools or harm the kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The KHSAA rules are not very kid friendly. The schools and coaches benefit most by the rules. Kids suffer I agree completely. However, as Tackett said in the press release, the KHSAA enforces the rules that the schools put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentuckyHShoops Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This ruling is completely insane. Why can't we just use common sense and apply it to these various rulings instead of having one blanket policy that usually ends up hurting the players in our state?

plantmanky Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 What exactly is the rule on filming documentaries with Julius Randle? Contact with the AAU guys after school starts is a big no no. To be honest, they got off easy with one game because of what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVMan23 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Bylaw 9. Dumbest. Rule. EVER! I coach several high school kids over the summer and they wanted to play a couple of tournaments and in a league in late August/September (these kids don't play football, and several are basketball only). High school coaches said "heck no"! Bylaw 9. Kept these kids from competing. Kids were mad, parents were mad...just a stupid rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Linville Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The dumbest thing about Bylaw 9 is that it only applies to football and basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
