CIF transfer rule change
- Thread starter ClydetheGlide10

Lets just simplify things. If your main goal is just to play sports and getting an education is not important to you, go to the prep schools/academies that have arms wide open for you. Dont waste the time of the schools that bend over backwards for you and your parents because you can run, jump, and throw better than the rest of the general population. I actually dont mind kids now just going to these basketball/football prep schools because it happens in tennis and golf and they start at age 14. There's no outcry when a child goes and pursues their tennis or golf career.
I think this is a great idea. The reason why there is more cheating is because the rules are so complicated that loop holes are constantly created. Put it out in the open and those that actively recruit will be more noticeable.
I think commissioners in NorCal are scared that a more open transfer market will turn them into the Southern Section and they don't want that.

That would be another good change. I think 28 is a couple too many, but getting everyone on the same rules is the right way to go
Streak, Here's why your always on the wrong side of this issue. To play sports in High School is a PRIVILEGE, not a rite.
You want to transfer to another school go ahead. Even four schools, in four years, go ahead.
There is NOTHING saying you are guaranteed to play basketball at these schools.
If the CIF simply stayed with this, there would be NO controversy. And i wish they would.
It is as simple as that.
Here's wishing you great hoops

Each game is a contact. Some sections could even play in a 16 team tourney getting 4 games but only counted as 2 contacts. The new proposal would give everyone 28 contacts or games. If you play 4 games in a tourney that's 4 contacts. The entire state would be on same rules.
i never said it was priveldge. I just don't think those decisions should be decided by adults who may have motives that don't have a kids best interest at heart. Now the kid/parents can be at fault too and that is why no solution is perfect.
Playing sports in all schools is an earned privelege, not a right. Public or private, doesn't matter; a kid has to do the proper things in order to maintain his spot on the team, ie. keep up his grades, stay out of trouble elsewhere that might get him suspended, etc, and of course actually make the team in tryouts.
I suppose an argument could be made that a kid has a right to try out for a team, but I would think that in order to even do that, he'd have to have qualifying grades to be considered.
This is similar to the fact that driving a car on public roads is an earned privelege, not a right. If you don't obey the laws of the road or if you don't pass your license test, you can't drive.

I understand this is a HS Basketball board... But, meeting a set of requirements is considered a privilege? Is it a privilege to take English 3 because you already took and passed English 2. Not a privilege to play HS sports. If it were coaches would get paid real money instead of a $3-$5k stipend for 7 months of work. I hardly call a 2.0 gap and no suspensions a privilege. Besides kids and parents should be able to go to any public HS they want as long as its within the District/Area in which the parents pay taxes.
Yes , you are right. A kid should be able to go to any high school they want at any time. If they qualify.
That being said, sports are another issue.
Again, it is a PRIVILEGE to play sports in high school.
It is not the function of School to have kids make basketball as there focus to go to a particular school. You want to make that your focus then basketball academies are available.
If the CIF decides to go the route of opening a free for all, then that's another thing.
Here's wishing you great hoops.
Also the sit-out period will be 50 percent of the total number of days in that particular season of sport.
Interesting....is it 50% of the first sport or what?
How do you determine which sport the student-athlete will miss?
If one played football, basketball and baseball would it be 50% of all three or just football?
I believe it's not 50 % of the days but 50 % of the contacts . This new 28 games you sit out 14
You really believe coaches only make $3-$5k stipend for 7 months of work? Check the loophole earnings.
It is 50 percent for each sport if the rule still exists. 2 years ago, Hunter Bishop had to sit out for football and baseball after transferring from St. Francis to Serra
Yes, please tell us about these loophole earnings. Also, what public school district pays a $5k stipend. I know numerous coaches whose basketball stipends are $2500-3500 for the season. 10-12 months of work for that is like working for free.
