When Winning Is Everything
-
The question everyone should be asking after learning that the coach, now suspended, of a New Jersey high school basketball powerhouse had six foreign players living in his cramped condo is how and why high school sports has become so important to some adults that they'd do anything for a winner, including this. It's not just that there might be cheating in recruiting players for a public high school and fudging residence to make them eligible, it's that the administration clearly looked the other way, because how does the team suddenly bring in six overseas students who happen to be great players? And why didn't it raise suspicion that the coach became the legal guardian for a player? How do things like this happen right under everyone's nose? (NJ Advance Media/NJ.com)
