He didn't wanna play for Nevels or Bill Mattioli......

 

Too bad for him.

 

You know there have been PLENTY of people I didn't want as a boss or coach or teacher. You learn how to adapt, improvise and overcome. You find out that it all works itself out.

Link is to the KHSAA bylaws transfer rules, which most on BGP's know, doesn't mean a thing anymore.....as the KHSAA is a Tiger without claws and or teeth due to being unable to enforce their own rules (you can thank the Ky House and Senate members for that, as they want to get reelected)!

 

I can see it happening one day that "Billy" will play football for HHS, then move from that Ft. Thomas apartment to one in Covington to play basketball for Holmes, then leave Holmes to transfer to Scott to play baseball, all without having to do anything more than hire a "lawyer" (calling Eric Deters) and judges who just wants what best for little Billy and to get reelected!

 

Oh BTW "Billy" remember him? He never got to attend any of those D1 schools that offered because he couldn't get qualified academically. To bad too as the kid wasn't stupid, just lazy!

Those two coaches I know will make any young man better at what he does

Playing devil's advocate here, what's wrong with allowing a child's parents/legal guardian full control over what school the child attends, and allowing that child full access to participation in all school-related activities (including sports) at that school? If I want my child to attend school A for a semester, and then decide that it's in his best interest to transfer to school B the next semester, and to be able to fully participate in school B's chess club, choir and basketball team, how is that wrong? Is the state of Kentucky (in the case, the KHSAA) in a better position to determine what is right or wrong for my child's academic situation than I am as his parent/legal guardian? If your answer to this question is 'yes,' then what other decisions should be taken out of my hands as the child's father... how about what after-school activities I enroll my child in, or what I feed him at home?

You can and will have no problem with attending any school you want (you must in most cases meet some requirements). Heck go a different school each month as it is your right and choice to do so but playing a sport in the KHSAA isn't a right, it is a "privilege" and as such the KHSAA has rules that will not allow you to do so.

 

So in playing along with your game, you as a parent can choose to allow your child to drink, drive, (before he is of legal age) carry a gun to class, allow your child to sit in that classroom naked?

 

I mean if I am his parent and I think it is in the best interest of my child why not?

You do have full control. Any time before a kid has played varsity ball, you can move to whatever school you choose if the school will admit you. These rules only come into play once the player has played varsity ball in any sport.

 

As to TOG's post above about the KHSAA not having power, he is correct. However, the lack of power would not apply to any player who is balatantly violating the rules by transferring to another public school without moving. The KHSAA would win that case and I don't think a court would issue an injunction to allow the player to play. If Johnson moves, the KHSAA would ask him and the school to document why he moved and as long as he came up with a logical reason, the KHSAA would likely approve it.

 

There is another thread talking about the new transfer rule in Ohio. Check out that rule and thread. That is where we are headed IMO. Basically, instead of making a kid sit out an entire season, the Ohio rule says the player only has to sit out 50% of the games. IMO, that rule will eliminate courts issuing injunctions that allow players to play an entire season and invalidating transfer rules.

I spoke with the family and he is staying at Holmes. He is a great kid and will do fine the next two years.

I have to disagree with this, I know of a player that transferred due to problems at his school, not his problems per say, but problems that the school administration would not fix with students doing things and exposing this student to things that the parents thought inappropriate. The parents went the KHSAA hearing and stated why they moved their child, because of their child being exposed to things they did not deem appropriate. That student had to sit out of year of athletics at his new school, even after the hearing officer stated that the parents did the right thing, and stated that he commended the parents for removing their child from that environment.

 

Now, on the other hand, I know of parents who went in and lied, and about everyone knew they lied, and their children we granted eligibility.

So why didn't the BOE on the state level fix the problem, if were so big that it forced a child to move to another school? I am a bit confused by your example, that the hearing officer thought it so bad that he thought the parents did the right thing. Seems to me at least the state should be stepping into see what is going on!

Not all problems at a school fall under the control of the School Board of the school or the state. A school is a social network that extends beyond the walls and boundaries of the school.

This only happened because he didn't finish his HS in Ft Thomas. Just sayin...

Good for him. Adversity helps build character, and fighting through adversity makes men.

I was waiting for you or one of your brothers to say this. :lol:

Someone mentioned him at Cooper. He'll either have to actually move to Cooper's district or , like some have done, move in with a Cooper family. I don't see either happening.

 

Or a relative have or get a job in Boone County Schools

If he wants to play at another public school - Newport, Cooper, wherever - he will have to move.

 

He should go to Beechwood, im sure they would open a spot for him.
