WestTNHoopsFan Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 It will be interesting to see how FW responds. Sounds like honest mistake. Wishing the best to the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym3143 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Whether you're deliberately "cheating" or not, a team like FW that went to Murfreesboro last year and has a legit chance to go back has to be more thorough than just reading the by laws and "thinking" everything is OK. And maybe this doesn't hurt them at all but Bolivar is pretty pissed about it. The whole incident is uncalled for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcats83 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Whether you're deliberately "cheating" or not, a team like FW that went to Murfreesboro last year and has a legit chance to go back has to be more thorough than just reading the by laws and "thinking" everything is OK. And maybe this doesn't hurt them at all but Bolivar is pretty pissed about it. The whole incident is uncalled for. I agree, Bolivar is the one who gets the raw deal. Has to play FW now instead of McNairy. Time TSSAA started banning schools where this happens. If you have a questin about the rules then ask and get it right. This doesn't penalize a team, they still get to play and it is unfair to a Bolivar team that followed the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTNHoopsFan Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Nobody wins in this situation. But as far as advantage in the tournament it is definitely SS. Instead of Lexington in the semis they now have winner of Chester and McNairy. And Lexington makes Region automatically now but will face FW in the Semis instead of SS who they beat once this year. Bolivar takes the hardest hit by finishing 3rd and playing win or go home vs FW. It is not a good situation for anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym3143 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 SS did it right 2 years ago when Hicks decided to leave Arlington Country Day and come home. SS contacted the TSSAA and asked for a ruling before allowing Hicks to play. I realize that Hicks is what SS needed to get past Haywood and the kid at FW hasn't played much, but the rule applies to all players.

Bkbfan4ever Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 You are correct, NOBODY wins in these situations but it is sure not fair for a team like Bolivar to be penalized because of someone elses mistakes. And I know that Bolivar still has an opportunity to advance but they have to play a much tougher opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, rules do apply to all players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
