AggiesAreWe Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 Quite sure that if any of the two disgruntled Silsbee parents decide to sue, their case will likely be thrown out also. ;)It's a priviledge, not a constitutional right to play on a basketball team.<clears throat>

Bobcat1 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 When I played, Coach Toon made us all cut our hair it couldn't be longer than whatever he said! No one sued over that. ::)
HAWKS24 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 It's the coaches team, the players should have to comply with his rules and the school's athletic handbook. Like AWW said it's a privilege to play on the team.
CThoops Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I agree that it is the coach's team and he makes all the rules, but it is the kids hair. If he wants to have it a certain way and it isn't a major distraction, then let him. If it doesn't impact his performance, then I don't see a problem. But the main rule in a basketball program is that the coach is in charge, and what he says goes, but at the same time, having some respect for the kids and their choice of hair style.
bigdog90 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 if you dont cut you dont play just my opinion keep up the good work coach k

If the coach wants it otherwise he should push for an "athletics/basketball hair clause" in the school handbook. That'd take all the guesswork out of it and cover his tail a little. But, on the other hand, the guys in plants forego the facial hair to keep their job, so what's the big deal about cutting your do to play bball?

If it's board approved, it needs to be in the handbook if it's not already. That way when somebody questions it, they can just say "handbook!"Athletes should be held to higher standards IMO as well, but everything's gotta be PC these days. I don't necessarily care for it, but if that's they way it is.... So, just take the steps to cover yourself and let the yahoos rant.
