the ban on international players in Utah prep sports sounds quite personal

Is this a direct attack on the Wasatch Academy basketball team?

Apr 25, 10:20am

No, it doesn’t effect Wasatch Academy from what I’ve heard

It will affect them in that they will have to spend more money to compete at the national level similar to Wasatch.

No, Wasatch Academy hasn't participated in UHSAA postseason for a decade

It does affect some Wasatch academy sports.

Makes me think of a local HS coach when I was a kid that would host exchange

I have to believe the courts' systematic gutting of NCAA authority will

Wish we had this energy for the transfer nonsense at the HS level.

Yes please. So ridiculous.

I think they did make changes to transfers too but the international rule got

Now focus on why UHSAA has a habit of letting private schools dictate

Does this impact kids who didn't make a HS team & want to transfer to play?

CaliWG

Apr 25, 10:53am

This doesn't change that rule. Once you have tried out your re deemed to have participated in a sport at that school. As

Apr 25, 11:09am

Nope. If you want more chances for kids to play

djk

Apr 25, 11:12am

So a kid's ability to play HS sports should be determined by where he lives?

CaliWG

Apr 25, 11:20am

Is the purpose of school to give talented kids a place to play sports?

djk

Apr 25, 11:22am

If a kid is getting booted from a bad team, that kid obviously isn't talented

CaliWG

Apr 25, 11:30am

Well then we don't need any rules about transfers, boundaries, or anything.

djk

Apr 25, 11:38am

I get where you're coming from

CaliWG

Apr 25, 11:55am

Yep. Every situation is different.

djk

Apr 25, 12:04pm

Moving from one 6a to another 6a is different though

CaliWG

Apr 25, 12:07pm

That may be true, but why not give a kid who is talented at the HS level a chance somewhere else.

Cougstreak

Apr 25, 12:28pm

We're probably talking about two different situations.

djk

Apr 25, 12:30pm

So how do you control this?

Cougstreak

Apr 25, 1:16pm

Kids will get screwed over not matter the scenario. With more flexible transfer rules kids can…

Cougstreak

Apr 25, 12:01pm

Agreed. Also, kids losing their starting spots have the same rights.

Cougstreak

Apr 25, 11:57am

It appears we had the same thought

CaliWG

Apr 25, 12:04pm

Why is sports different than any other activity.

Cougstreak

Apr 25, 11:51am

Yes

Kind of though right? I mean if you are in a talented district and you really want to play you gotta grind. Get better.

Apr 25, 11:41am

This is easy to say until a guy 6'5"/220 is the one standing in your way

CaliWG

Apr 25, 12:03pm

Guys like Shaq are few and far between. Chris Paul has to grind I'm sure. Steph has to grind. Kobe was who he was

My son is 9 years old & is a head taller than everyone else his age

What happens if a kid is a baller, grinder and very talented and could start at QB anywhere but…
