If anyone has seen the movie "Coach Carter" there is a very relative segment of the movie addressing this issue. Coach Carter, in my opinion, took a very positive and informed position on this issue. At stance that I subscribe to 100%.
This is an excellent movie that is based on a true story. It transcends (sp?)basketball and addresses the societal issues that we (officials) experience all the time with our affiliation with scholastic sports. I highly recommend this movie.
PS- Don't pay attention to the refs in this movie, because they were mechanically horrible. Obvious career movie extras and not actual officials. I was griping during the movie to my wife and she got fed up with me saying that "I was the only one that would notice that"!
