The Mount Juliet transfer was declared eligible to play for Ravenwood.  Was there another?

It was 'rumored' that 5 wanted to come from Memphis, that wound up in Arkansas.

What I don't understand is the AD is on the football staff.   So technically he is Daniels boss.  Why didn't he step in and say hey this can't happen instead of watching it go on.  And then he is made interim head coach while the investigation is going on.  Something doesn't seem right!

AD is a ceremonial position. He doesn't have any real power

That just shows how the TSSAA picks and chooses.  Very bad look on the TSSAA!

I thought I read an article where a TSSAA Executive Director was quoted as saying it was an illegal participation?  Backtracking?

It’s called CYA.  Put the blame on a Ravenwood where the lawyers are involved.

Will the parents sue? Concussions can have lasting effects.

Coaches in all sports participate in practice. So is a baseball coach not supposed to hit grounders or throw BP? Are football coaches not supposed to teach technique?  Marion got popped a few years back because the kid that was in pads was not a coach. Should a coach have been in pads?? Probably not. But to say coaches can’t participate in practice shows how ignorant of the rules some of you clowns really are.

If any coach participation can potentially result in a kid having  an injury such as a concussion, them you need to rethink your way of conducting practice. Marion got popped for using a college football player, again inviting a lawsuit using a person that is physically superior to them. The HC allowed a man who spent several years as a NFL starter to put on pads and take in live drills against HS kids, this goes above and beyond simple participation.

That's like having a former MLB pitcher participate in a intrasquad scrimmage. If you can't see the potential liability issues there, then I don't know what to say

Williamson Co schools have an army of lawyers at their disposal. My guess is this gets settled out of court. The quicker this goes away the better for them & Ravenwood

I understand what greatwhite saying.  So would be it be same Penalty if he was a former MLB playing hitting baseball's to his kids and he gets hurt? Seeing comments outside of coacht a lot of people are saying   Their coach use to do this or this isn't something new. Is this becauses he's a Ex NFL player? I feel like that's the only reason Paul wrote about it.
