Before any of you cite the rules, let me be blunt. In this instance I will go by the spirit any day over the letter.

I didn't know Nevada is patched in Michigan


Edit: Ok, just read your post, you big softy!

I agree with everything that Nevada said. There is no reason for the MichiganHSAA to make the stupid ruling that it did in otherwords logic was not used when finding a solution or a ruling. I will admit that it appeared that the officials did have there head's stuck up where the son does not shine when it came to logic, good manners, and respect.

There is a gentleman who had been the girls' varsity coach at three different high schools in the Toledo area over the last 20 years and he was an outstanding wheelchair basketball player. He did his thing just like anyother coach but he did it from his wheelchair.

This is a case that just makes me scratch my head and wonder how there can be officials calling games absent any common sense.

Unless I'm missing something, and I think others have asked already...Why, exactly, can't she be a head coach? Is it the "standing in the coaches box" issue? Where does the fed or the state of MI require someone stand to call a time out?

Discipline the officials on the game and move on. I wish her well in the post season.
