Yeah I already voted Yes I just want to know the "no" side of the thread! Even though it says "just vote" I would like to know a good reason why anyone would say no!

 

Why do you understand why a person would say "Yes" but you can't undertsand why a person would say "No". Let me try the questions around . Give me a good reason why anyone would say "Yes".

One good reason for the split would be more State Championships for the publics...LOL. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Alright I'll give you A GREAT ANSWER!!!! The "Yes" side is that Public schools have to take the kids they have in their area and Private schools can and do pull from anywhere or everywhere they want!

Old Pirate says, where have you been beavo5? OP has taken more than a few hits on these boards for the support of a split. Old Pirate believes............................. a split could make this type of discussion deminish. Probably the biggest argument would be travel issues for the privates.

Old Pirate says, BH frankly OP thinks most are just tired of the arguement/disagreement.

All of the public's problems revolve around the issue of kids coming from extended distances to attend a particular school. Usually..... most have the strong beleaf of recruiting or an incentive has been rendered.

OP remembers back in the 70's when SP was defeated in the state title game by Brentwood who had kids playing from various parts and some reportedly out of state. We all know what eventually happened @ that private.

Well, sorry you been taking hits but I got your back! And MVM is right there would be more championships in public schools cause Publics wouldn't have to compete with Private schools that recruit every kid! If a kid has to pay to go to a certain school, that school should be in Division II and play in a fair place but those teams are scared they will get demolished if they were in Division II!

What about "public" magnet schools? Check the state championships for last 3 or 4 years. How many have been magnet schools that get their pick of the best jr. high players in the city? Guess they have just been lucky that all of the athletes numbers come up in the lottery picks for the school??????? May be a coincidence, but seems guy athletes go to one magnet, and girl athletes to to the other. Guess luck of the draw ?

Old Pirate says you just supported what OP has said all along. The Chatt area has a large number of middle schools and the privates frequently recruit these for the athletic students. The public schools are left with what they get. OP says just witness the privates when participating in middle school and follow them later in high school. They obtain transfers and become more compeitive. Go figure, subject to speculation!!!! Draw your own conclusion.

Old Pirate says families are sometimes caught thinking that "all" is better in the private sector. Somethings are better and somethings are not always better.

I got the same feeling about magnet schools should split too! And as for magnet schools getting their pick of Jr. High players is true but at least it is in their own city not out of state or even in other cities!

All magnet schools are NOT ALIKE. CSAS was the first magnet school in the state of Tennessee. It is a k-12 school and DOES NOT get its pick of middle school athletes. It is very hard to get admitted to school there as there are long waiting lists in most grades. CJ Black who played at Brainerd and Tennessee is an example of someone who was a great athlete but was never able to get off the waiting list to be admitted. The kids and coaches at CSAS just work very hard to be competitive, no more of an advantage than most other schools. I do understand that this is not the case at all magnet schools though with some being able to choose students later in high school.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
