Cif is a bunch of idiots - how can the top 2 teams in the state be moved down to D2 - both teams clearly recruit, and have the local players sit their bench and bring in the cash. Time for either a full investigation or just admit whats going on and put all these schools in the same division.

I have to admit that I've always been mystified by CIF. I've heard that some schools are allowed to get away with recruiting while others are penalized. But then again, I've never been into politics.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that these top schools are recruiting, after all if they weren't there would not be such disparity - there are several clubs out there and they compete with players from these top schools and the odd top player on the other teams but when you allow a couple of schools to get away with this type of behavior and then you have the majority not allowing it - then it becomes very obvious.

Sue Favor said...

And why does the CIF supposedly allow only a select few schools to get away with it?

On a related note, I heard that a boy's playoff game changed nights last week because the father of a major player on one team couldn't attend on the night originally scheduled. If that's true, it's outrageous.

C'mon sue - read the article on mens socalhoops about Pat Barret - it has been done for years, large amounts of money changing hands re players getting to certain schools, Mater Dei being the main school involved. It goes right up to the pros and it has now entered the realm of girls basketball just on a smaller scale - why does CIF not get involved - it takes work!

Ask CIF why Mater Dei and Brea girls are in different divisions than last year - and don't just accept there first response as they have been unable to come up with the specific numbers for the reason - real truth is that the principals wanted to win and last few years could'nt do it against Poly - they didn't want to be in D3 their true enrollment divisions as Norcal dominates in those St Marys and Sacred Heart.

It's under Sports Agents and AAU coaches on socalhoops.com mens forum a little ways down. It shows how some shady adults woo young athletic players with false promises.

Found it online. It's from yahoo.com:

So do you suggest this type of thing is more prevalent on the girl's side in high school than the boy's side? Because there isn't money yet in women's pro hoops the way there is in men's.

I read that too and had 2 sons play, it's crazy the way this guy works parading around the gyms. I don't think it's as prevalent but there's definitely an underlying current going on or else we wouldn't be seeing some of these lopsided games.
