I've been pondering this for the last couple of hours... How many situations like this go un-noticed? In today's society, separation-and divorce for that matter- is almost is common as marriage... So I don't find this out of the ordinary at all. I know there are other kids out there in violation as well. Now I am not saying to inspect every player for every school or anything like that. But I am saying that if we are going to respect the TSSAA bylaws, the TSSAA needs to be more effective about noticing them.

And may I add before competion begins.

 

Great post squoshwave17!!!

The TSSAA rules are very stringent about "living with this parent/grandparent rule unless you have a "corresponding change of address". Get the TSSAA's OK ON TAPE before you do anything

Address was not the issue. He had that. It is the divorce/seperation clause that is unclear. Again look at the by-laws and see who has the authority.

 

Authority was given..and naturally we played the kid. The TSSAA is the one in question. And as I stated before an appeal has been made and lawyers have been contacted.

I still say that the TSSAA should have investigated things further if there was any question about the divorce issue. McGavock had to be informed about the request for eligibilty. Why didn't MCGavock question this when they had the chance. Gee, I already know the answer , don't I?

Here are some quotes from Shipley in the News Examiner.

 

 

"It was sweet, winning like this," said Shipley, who caught two passes on the night. The former quarterback has caught four in two weeks. "I like the transition from quarterback to reciever." "The only talking (McGavock) did was friendly. We're all friends."

 

Examiner section B, Mon. Oct.13 2003 page 2

 

Maybe someone didn't tell Dorris Armstrong that "we're all friends".

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • 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.
