This has nothing to do with impact or not. Reasons why or not.
You're either ok with transfers or not. Perhaps GRC's reasons were "unfortunate" as well.
The Mason fans must think transfers are only a problem if they impact the game. They have a transfer listed on their roster, but didn't play much if any varsity, but more than likely will contribute in the future.
Mason Co administration gets a call from Kennedy Igos or any other players parents. We are moving to Maysville. Can our daughter, pending approval from KHSAA, join the Lady Royals?
Do they say no, she hasn't been in Maysville all her life?
Suppose there was no travel called and the Mason player got absolutely hammered on the shot causing her to miss the shot, would the Mason fan base been ok from "that official" refraining from making the call? Or would they have been glad that any of the 3 made the call?
Funny how when a baby is born the doctor/nurse says, "it's a boy" or "it's a girl." Clear cut.
Yet somehow, somewhere along the way, it tends to become fuzzy, with some.
