Uncleared Players

Seems growing trend for some clubs to accept uncleared players - surely due diligient should be happenings to stop this at club level.
Fairly embarrassing - some clubs are more clearless than others.

bsa has enforced the by laws correctly when this has been discovered.

however I have seen players playing under other names and the bsa office would never know.

speaking of dodgy things - this year would be the worst I can ever recall for mysterious things happening on the bench - particularly in the junior games I have been involved in.

best players suddenly having 5 fouls in the second quarter when everyone thinks they only have 3.

score sheet shows a different result in a close game - when the scoreboard shows the other.

requesting time outs to the other teams bench clock operator and never getting them after repeated requests - and then a "who cares" when they are questioned after 6 requests.

Arrow repeatedly never turned and held balls going one way 3 times in a row.

Scoreboard showing less team fouls than actually on the sheet - outcome 2 shots.

Clock running through time outs when opposition is just up and being held when just down.

now I am pretty tolerant and understand they are volunteers - and expect some mistakes but one gets a sniff when dodgy happenings are on the nose.

Parents playing the game from the scorebench - never!

Here's a solution - forget about the game, have a competition between the parents about who can cheat most blatently - the clock or the sheet.

Sad, sad state of affairs with parents living their lives through their children.
