Not so with this IAC conference. I would think Bullis winning those games would be considered a feather in the cap of the conference, as the most recent example?

I was hoping for different as these are kids playing as hard as they know how and the posters are supposed to be adults? Guess not.

I do love this sport; just wish it was different in DC with all those involved. Count me as one old guy that his time has passed. Good bye to the helicopter and/or “has been/never was” parents. I wish you the best with the lessons you are teaching your children.

Let's try supporting one another instead of putting folks down.

You age has nothing to do with this phenomenon as there was no Golden Age of warmer relationships between the schools.

As a long time IAC-watcher I can assure you that there has never been any "IAC Pride" or unity or anything like that ever. This pre-dates Helicopter parents by many, many years.

"Vitriol" is a word you could use. Near total "Antipathy" would be a very accurate description of the Prep - Landon relationship for decades.

About the best you'll get is indifference.

What surprises me is that new people come along and don't understand the history.

1. In 2015 the Landon Asst Coaches were told before the game, and a week prior to the game, that a stick check would occur if the coach did not remove the U shooting string. Landon is so arrogant that they did not believe this would occur. As a matter of fact, the officials were informed prior to the game that a stick check would occur if the coach did not remove the stick from the coaching area or remove the U. Landon can complain all they want but LANDON made the decision to make this an issue. Prep and Bullis have no love for Landon.
2. Come to Bullis "its easy to get straight A's at Bullis, you won't have to work as hard" total BS. Never said.
3. Bullis does not go after recruits, recruits contact Bullis first. The coach saves all his texts and emails.
4. Bullis never advocated any rules to make co-champs.

It is true a banner will indicate co-champions, BUT the IAC Champion is the team that wins the tournament.

Stop making things up and hiding as an anonymous poster.

I'll never forget when the Bullis coaching staff went after a senior from GP who flunked out of school at the end of his junior year, and a few Bullis coaches reached out to the family to gauge their interest in Bullis for his senior season. The family told Bellistri to "we would never consider Bullis even if you gave us a full ride"

True story folks, you can't make this shit up.

Bullis was co champs with GP this season as a result of their regular season loss.

But not really
