[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m more familiar with soccer than baseball, but I think that’s irrelevant when you get down to it. This post has turned into people on one side accusing a coach of mistreating players and not following the conference’s rules, and people on the other side defending what the coach does because he wins. That’s telling - “you can do whatever you want as long as you win” seems to be the SJC philosophy. At any level of sports, people who care about the integrity of the game would have a problem with that. Question here seems to be whether those in charge at SJC or the WCAC are okay with that.[/quote]

As was mentioned several posts ago, the real issue is that SJC may be violating IRS regulations on non-profits. [/quote]

I see what you’re saying. But this statement goes a bit more to the question of why the school would allow a coach to do this - they are taking some real legal risk and why? But I think the way they’re treating the students is more abhorrent. Teaching kids that it’s OK to break rules if it helps you win is inexcusable. And having a coach who does not do things in the kids best interest is unexplainable. Is there really enough benefit from winning a high school conference championship every year where it’s worth sacrificing what is best for the kids paying tuition to go to school there?[/quote]
