A Different Take on the Team Disqualification.
time: July 2000
place: University of Indiana
event: AYBTour Boys' and Girls' National Basketball Championship Tournament.
I was there to officiate. The teams were housed in the dorms on campus. The boys' tournament was played first.
The boys' teams were in the process of moving out of the dorms and the girls' teams were in the process of moving in to the dorms with the girls' tournament to start the next day.
I do not remember where this particular girls' team was from, but the previous year this team had won the girls' national championship at the 8th grade age group and had made it back to the nationals and was the favorite to win the 9th grade national championship.
During the move out and move in process the entire girls' team flashed members of some of the boys' teams that were standing on the side walk in front of the dorm. The girls' team was disqualified from the tournament before even playing a game.
