Is Recruiting Legal

[Devil2010]

i do not know the rules.

 

i understand that you must live in the zone to go to most schools.

 

but, are coaches allowed to contact players or parents from other schools and invite them to move into their area with the promise of playing time or being a starter etc...?

 

if it is legal, is it ethical?

[calbearfan]

No it is not legal!!! Any contact from coaches of players outside a feeder school is illegal. By rule, no one associated with a program can contact another parent or player.

Unless you are D-II for some reason they get away with it all the time. I guess if they are all cheating who cares.

Then contact the TSSAA with the specifics. Let them decide.

Thanks for the link. I had always heard stories about the MBA/Ensworth/Frist spat but it was interesting to get the real story finally. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

In magnet schools, they call it the luck of the draw.......funny how all of the good athletes have the good fortune of always being "drawed" in the lottery.

the D-II schools get away with it because some of them offer scholarships. that is why they have a different playoff system. the ones that don't can play in the public school playoffs. brentwood academy tried that with a smyrna kid a couple of years ago but he turned them down.

No, it is NOT legal or ethical, but it DOES happen and NOT just with Privates. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

 

As to reporting it to the TSSAA, they WILL act on any reports as long as YOU get everything for them in writing and it does not cost them anything. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />
