Because it is none of my business. In the first place, I have seen seniors play in a JV game. For small schools, sometimes all players other than the top 6 or 7 on the team dress for the JV game. And are you telling me that in any shape or form if a JV player also participated in the varsity game, you might inquire about the number of quarters he had played for that day/week/season/whatever?
No. I am saying that the coach determines who is eligible, not me. Long before I beckon him into the game, his name will be in the book. That makes him a team member. When the coach tells me that he is not a member of his team, but is a varsity team member, that is OK with me.
