LCA forward Galen Alexander ruled eligible

I'll use your quote, "my wallet allows me to get to know the people that pull the strings." haha
jk. sorta.

That comment came off much differently than I meant for it to. When I went back over it, it felt like "man, what an a--hole". I can assure you I am not a rich man. But the truth of the matter is, you have to pay to play. That's mostly what I was getting at. And definitely, no braggadocio intended. I've been fortunate and not because of just my own hard work.

The guy that wrote the original comment got extremely personal, so it was more of a "bleep you guy" comment. I know Byron has been (and I'm sure still is) a good man. Which is why it's even more puzzling what has transpired over there. Some of my thoughts are second hand knowledge, but some are direct experience. Regardless of that, where there's smoke, there's fire and there's A LOT of ugly stuff being attached to the school and program right now.

The pastor and his little minion are without question what's wrong with that place, but all you have to do is look at the behavior of the kids he's brought in and the circumstances surrounding them. 10 years ago, students were being suspended from school for attending "secular" concerts, being sent home for using words like "sucks" or "crap". Now that the money is rolling in, I've personally been in the building to see LCA players directing extremely foul language at opposing players. Not to mention the gestures and overall lack of class for a "Christian" school.

Does that mean Byron is directly to blame? I guess you could say no, but in my view, it at least makes him somewhat culpable.

As Barisax said, disappointed.

Wait. High school students using curse words while playing a sport? Scandalous!!!

When I was in High School I was friends with hundreds of people who attended Catholic and Christian schools and not one of them ever used curse words or said mean things to one another. These LCA players are completely out of control and they're making the rest of us good Christians look bad. How dare Byron allow those players to play basketball with mouths like that.

It's too bad the LHSAA doesn't have a visionary leader like Karl Benson who would force Byron to issue an apology for all the un-Christian language his players use on the court.

First of all Kratz, what took you so long to join in on the fun?

I played for the team 15 years ago. The idea that someone would use profanity was completely out of the question. Suggestive gestures and body language and all the other crap they've been doing recently would have never been tolerated by the coach, much less the administration. And that's just the on the court BS. From all accounts, it's much worse off of it.

You can't claim to be this up standing mega Christian entity, but then have your sports teams respredent the opposite; and then tolerate it. I'm not a moralist, I'm just calling out the hypocrisy.

Geez, you're not even good at being a smartass. Give it up.

The thing that I find funny is that one private school calling out another private school funny. It sounds like someone didn't get their man.

Yep, not to mentioned received a butt whipping because he filed the complaint. I guess he thought Starks wouldn't take it personal.

What was their (Starks & Mouton) relationship prior to all this?

They beat Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAAs in 1992.

If you say you're not a moralist then why are you so upset that LCA is relaxing their hard line moral rules? Are you saying they should still be sending kids home for saying "crap?"

I explained why immediately after making that comment.

Keep up.

What I think has been glossed over in this situation is the fact that he was initially ruled ineligible for one year because of the transfer from out of attendance zone rule. The problem, again, is with the LHSAA and their inconsistent application of rules. I don't know the details about why he was ultimately ruled eligible, but the kid did not move and should have had to sit out 1 calendar year per the LHSAA constitution.
