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

Work harder. I always tell my guys life isn't fair and it never will be. There is always somebody out there working harder than you are so get after it if you want to play.

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

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

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?

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

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.

Apr 25, 11:38am

I get where you're coming from

CaliWG

Yep. Every situation is different.

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.

We're probably talking about two different situations.

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.

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

CaliWG

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
