Again - these are not issues of "eligibilty". Those rules are determined by the State Associations (number of practices, grades, being at school the day of a game, etc., etc.). What we are talking about in this thread is "availability" of players...and if a Coach says that #32 is not available - then he ain't available. We have no rules backing to force a Coach to play someone after they tell us the player is unavailable.

I used the word "eligible" in my posts..."available" is what I should have said.

They really are two different things...and we shouldn't worry about either one. The conversation is short and sweet:

"Coach, we need a sub."

"I don't have anyone available."

"OK. We go with 4."

And that's really all there is to it.

Wow. Some common sense. How refreshing.

Respect don't come easy in these parts and it surely ain't common.

I heard you early on.

Well I guess we are split on this.Is there really a wrong way to do it.If your evaluator was there and state rules guy was there what would you really do?

I'm sure there is a wrong (and right) way. Until the FED comes out with guidance, the wrong (and right) way will likely vary by state. Until the state comes out with guidance, the wrong (and right) way will likely vary by local association. etc.

Given that no guidance has been given, I would NOT force the kid to play. I would complete a game report on the incident to try to get state guidance for any future occurrence.

I would do what I said I would do, and provide my reasoning if asked.
