    Yes a PUBLIC high school is a fly by night AAU program. If it were a charter school or some really tiny private school that opened in the last five years you'd have a point. Sorry dude but you're talking out of your ass here. Do you have any idea how many schools were built in the San Bernardino/Riverside areas in the last 20 years?

    BTW, I've covered shit at Chino Hills. It isn't a fly by night place.

    Clearly the district decided to build the school in 2001 because it heard about 3-year-old Lonzo Ball.

    How do you explain 2016?

    A lot of it falls on the CIF and their quite-liberal transfer rules. Used to be an athlete would have to sit out a year when transfering without a family move. Now it's just a few weeks in some sections.

    They had to determine whether they wanted to tie up all of their resources in lawyers fees. They probably made the right decision.

    What does that have to do with the Ball family? They attended the school in their home district from the first day of their freshman year.

    When you get down to it, this is like it used to be in the good old days.

    Nothing to do with the Balls, just explains how so many high schools are becoming glorified AAU teams.

    It depends. You move once you're out for a month. I believe a second time is a year. If a school can prove a move was athletically motivated, kid is automatically done for a year.

    Basically kids (at least in central coast section) miss the nonleague schedule and are back for league. Had one kid who was a state caliber athlete miss his senior year because he switched schools after his coach was fired. Dipshit appealed claiming he moved for a single class (nevermind the school he switched to is one of the best in the state in his sport) but he couldn't get passed the fact there was a lot of publicity surrounding the coach's firing. His argument amounted to you may have found me with the stuff but it isn't mine trust me. The school he was moving to is still pissed off about it.

    Yeah, the 71 corridor has been sprouting like a weed for a quarter century, since all those homes started paving over the cow farms that dominated the area for a century. The I.E. is bigger than a lot of TV markets in the country. The lure of cheaper housing keeps drawing many out there to this day.

    If that's true, Alford -- or whoever the nominal coach is -- will be fired. Which is why Alford should be in touch with Washington if his alma mater isn't interested.

    Why would Alford be fired for that?
