QUESTION OF THE DAY, THURS. 1-31-08 REVISED

[Guest DickVitale]

Who gets the blame for the forfeit of Dallas South Oak Cliff's 2006 title? Head Coach (James Mays), The Teacher (changed the grade), The school administrators (who let it go), the Campus AD (football coach) or the Athletic Director.... LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!

[Guest DickVitale]

Pick one and tell us why....

I believe it is not a good idea, because first of all if you expand the feild to 4 teams, and you have an 6 0r 8 team district, with the bottom half of the district being mediocre, the top teams or middle teams of the district, may just settle knowing that they no matter what will lock up a playoff spot. I believe the lesser the feild the more competitive districts games will be, making every game count. So I believe they should not expand.

hopefully made some since.

Dickey...I think four teams is too much.  You are talking about four team with two of them making the playoffs with possibly below 500 district records.  I am all for placing kids in a postion to experience the excitement of being in the playoffs, but basketball is different than football...the season is long enough as it is and this may place the state playoffs going until late march!  I do agree that football should have four teams base on the results of the past few season.  There has been too many logjams for playoff seeding.

i would blame school administrators. When it is all said and done, they are the top dog. The are responsible for all the others.

i don't know that you can single out any one single sector of the school in this situation.  they all should share the blame.  if you'll repost the article on here i'll explain myself a little better, dick.

The White man.  No..No..No..just kidding.  I know I didn't just say that.  It's  great question.  I would have to say the coach is ultimately responsible.  Or if you want to get deep..society is the culprit.

remember dickie just wants one? So which one do u blame. Yes its all their fualts, but only one can have the blame on here.

LMAO at that.....I know that there are multiple culprits here, I just want you guys take on it if you can blame ONE main person in this situation...That answer was CLASSIC McCarter!!

[24 over par]

lots of blame to go around but the coach played the kid knowing he should not have so if were only blameing 1 then the coach is the one
