Opposing coaches report this kind of stuff all the time. It's almost always investigated unless you have a guy who's cried wolf too many times. That's my experience.

Okay, does it change the answer to the question?

If a public school is going to recruit someone from outside its district or parish they have to jump through hoops, or flat out lie, to even get the kid into the school...do they not? Does the same apply to private schools, or is one year of ineligibility the extent of what they have to worry about?

That's all they have to worry about. Advantage, private.

So that's two. The numbers remain skewed in the favor of br and nola.

If the powers that be would just make kids go to school where they actually live, I don't think there would be very many complaints about this issue.

In the nba? Elfrid Payton. Dj Augustin. Greg Monroe. Kelly Oubre.
Those are just off the top of my head. I am sure I am missing some. But to not expect it to be skewed towards the population centers, is rather idiotic.

Why are you changing your argument? You said most players who make it professionally are from North LA. That is simply not true. And a south LA team would beat those players simply because they came up in an era where they are bigger, faster, and stronger. The game is different now. This ain't the 1960s anymore. New Orleans and Baton Rouge consistently produces better players just by sheer numbers.

Numbers and facts. I ONLY gave you a small number of players from North La. And players are bigger and stronger now. DO you know who Karl Malone, Bill Russel, Robert Parish, and Willis Reed were. All approaching or taller than 7 ft. And Quality does matter!

Do me a favor and count the North LA players, I counted the South LA, and it was greater than 54. So your 'numbers and facts' are incorrect.

I don't give a frick who they were, Only Malone has played in the last 15.

Again you said most who make it professionally. You don't think South has had it's fair share of 7 footers?

Paul Milsap is better than about any player from Southern La history. But then again you probably dont give a Frick because you to caught up in trying to be right.
