Don't think any of it is meant to be hateful. Maybe truthful and you just don't like it

Perhaps you don't quite understand. The only truth that matters is what the school administrators determine to be the facts and the only people who actually know those facts are the administrators and the families involved. Bottom line is if they admit a kid to the school they are by definition satisfied with those facts. The ugly reality here is that a few really pathetic individuals are using this situation to play out their petty jealousies. The REAL truth is that they actually ARE quite pissed that a transfer student is upstaging their little darling so they have to lash out like this. What is unfortunate is not that the school admitted a kid but rather that these individuals have to attack that kid so that they can somehow feel good about their own. Sadly what these people don't seem to realize is that if their kid actually had more talent all of this would be a mute point.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

All of this aside, if the coach is in any way involved in convincing people to find residency in Needham, in part so they can play soccer, then he should be punished by the MIAA. It is really that simple.Comment

Its hard to believe with all these complaints that some of them have to be legitimate and that it is allowed to continie. Also you have to wonder if a less affluet community would get away with these actions. And there is evidience out there that all of this is true==College showcasesComment

By less affluent, would Everett or Brockton apply? The accusations about non-residents on their respective football teams have been freequent and long-standing (BTW football is THE sport for which the MIAA cares deeply - and there is all sorts of local and regional press attention). In some instances the background whispers in those communities have centered around big time stars, some of which have gone on to D1 colleges (and those are full boats in football) and the NFL. If the MIAA turned a blind eye to those accusations, do you really think they care about what is going on in a middle of the pack girls soccer program?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Good point. The MIAA is a ridiculous organization.Comment

Not from Needham, but if anyone believes that this stuff doesn't happen, that the AD and school administrations would only follow the rules, you are crazy. It happens all the time, especially in football and basketball. You are right though, the MIAA could care less about girls soccer, which is why there is a good possiblity that some can get away with it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If this was a real problem with merit there is a pretty good chance that one of the supposely wronged players parents is a lawyer and would fille a greivance. Since this has not happened I doubt there has been any real wrong doing.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If it is happening I see nothing different than what Catholic schools do.Comment

This is ridiculous just let it go. There is plenty of evidence that the player in question lives in another town but nothing is going to be done about it. Petty jealousy or just favortism for a good player. This would not be alllowed for just anyone. You are right football, basketball and a good soccer player Forget about this Needham always gets away with it and I think people just get tired of it. Move on they will never do anything but I lose my respect for NDH and the player also but I hope she has a great seasonComment

That's true, but the Catholic schools are allowed to do it, as are the public schools that allow school choice. But Needham doesn't allow school choice, so it comes across as if you have the right name the rules don't apply. Hey, but isn't that how it works at the state level too?Comment
