We also tie our sportsmanship awards to whether, or not, local coaches send in their "votes" for the state tournament.

Many local coaches don't send in "votes" if they know that they won't make the state tournament (40% wins). Our assigner hates that because that leaves some of our local officials off the state list, and my local board gets fewer representatives in the state tournament than do the other five local boards that have local coaches that do a more complete job of voting.

Don't come to the preseason meeting, or don't vote for the state tournament, and that team isn't eligible for a sportsmanship award, even if charged with no unsporting technical fouls all season long.

Seems silly.

Are these carrots or sticks? If carrots, how tasty are the carrots? If sticks, how painful are the sticks?

Silly monkeys.
