It's silly, but East has played some national teams this year. So all is not lost.

Yep

These high schoolers get way too much pub at an early age anyway. Plus Penny might have a golf tournament that week.

Sure. The five star and the four star guys are going to get the pub anyway. But what about the zero star guys whose basketball career ends as soon as they play their last high school game? The bench warmers? The student managers? This would be a great experience for them, one that they will remember their whole lives.

But, of course, we have bylaws. And we have those stars who get enough pub as it is. Who cares about the scrubs.

Section 9. The sports season for a school shall end when the team has been eliminated from the TSSAA

tournament series or has won the state championship. The sports season shall end for a school whose team does

not enter the tournament series with the playing of the last regularly scheduled game.

This was what Brian Kelsey said on their behalf. It's a great opportunity for kids that may never have the opportunity to go see New York. Like Mark Ginnatto said, "Adults ruin everything"!

It ruled according to the bylaws. If you do not like the bylaws then work to have them changed.

Nothing good could come from teams playing after season is over. Will only deepen the problem of high school recruiting as students will transfer to school most likely to be invited to after season tournaments.

I find it regrettable that the TSSAA would restrict the Memphis East High school basketball team from competing in Dicks nationals basketball tournament. It is an honor for a team to qualify for a position in this tourney and it brings great visibility for basketball in the state of Tennessee and the TSSAA. The tournament is scheduled so that the athletes will miss minimal educational time.

I also find it regrettable that the TSSAA is so shortsighted in their antiquated thinking as to deny these athletes an opportunity to represent their state in a competition that will be nationally televised.

http://dicksnationals.com/

I have no ties to the Memphis East High School basketball program. I couldn't even name a single athlete on the team but I do know that these young men should be allowed to represent their school, city and state in this prestigious tournament. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many who mostly come from underprivileged backgrounds. Many of these young men will never again get the opportunity to participate in something they would be able to tell to their grandkids.

I ask that the TSSAA reconsider their decision to deny these young men the opportunity to add something positive to their lives.

Awesome letter, wonderful support.We could use more of us that are REALLY proactive,instead of talking loud and saying NOTHING!!! My I add that I felt during reading, that the key word should have been irregrettable/unregrettable.....Those may NOT be words and I'm NOT the best with English or Phrases....it's just my opinion

There is a post season basketball game in Knoxville

They had to pay the Tssaa $1,000 to have it

It's all about the money

Tssaa would get no money from the ny games
