An average of 8 post game fights per year in nearly 40,000 events...

I picked a random school and looked at their REGULAR season schedules for baseball (34), Softball (30), B basketball (28), G basketball (26), B soccer (20), G soccer (17) and volleyball (33). That is 188 contests excluding any playoffs. Multiply that by 200 schools (37,600) times 3 years equals 112,000.

It seems to me that this is a VERY minor problem. There are probably many, many more fights DURING contests...I think the KHSAA should send out a directive prohibiting any athletic event so as to avoid altercations. (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

It happens in all walks of life, organizations, and often times our bosses make rules for the simple reason they can and they need to justify their existence.

Ask Dale which High Schools made up the committee to create this directive! The KHSAA made no decision, it was the schools of committee that did, and Julian made the announcement (thus gets paid very well by all the High Schools who pay membership fees to participate in the KHSAA, just to be criticized for the actions that the schools themselves decide but are too afraid to tell their own fans)
