This is just another case of some idiotic parents thinking their shirtty little bench-warming daughter didn't get a college scholarship because Michigan has different seasons, instead of realizing their daughter is a shirtty little bench warmer.

Everyone knows it's because the local paper doesn't include her in the stories enough. :)

Sure, most of the Class A schools have two gyms. But there's good size Class B schools that only have one band box size gym with the auditorium stage behind one basket.

We won't even talk about the smaller Class D schools and their 200 capacity gyms.

Well, under the current arrangement, they somehow figure out how to schedule game and practice time for both boys' basketball and girls' volleyball. Once volleyball moves to the fall, that opens up a bunch of gym time for both basketball teams to share.

Forty-nine other states somehow make it work. I'm sick and tired of screaming and caterwauling out of lazy-ass coaches and ADs that it "can't be done." It can.
 
In NC, volleyball is in the fall and basketball in the winter. There never seems to be a problem with gym time for varsity girls and boys and JV girls and boys teams. The game nights begin at 4:30 with JV boys, varsity girls tip off at 6 and varsity boys usually around 7:30. JV girls play at the same opponent.

However, I think having both soccer teams play in the fall would be a problem and there is no way both tennis teams could play in the same season. Every school I've seen has just 6 courts.

Yes, it can be done.
