It's the coach's fault for waiting till the last day. If he submitted weeks in advance then they wouldn't have this problem. Stupid coach
-
Yeah they're failing to mention here that in another interview, the coach admitted until waiting to submit the times until the very last day when he was in a part of rural Oregon where reception was spotty. And the NCS Commissioner did confirm the Coach for the Diving Team did submit their times before the deadline. So entirely the coaches fault.
-
The coach needs a remedial class on planning and administration. It's entirely his fault. Now the swimmers will be cheer leaders for the diving team.
-
Coach is responsible. Why couldn’t he fill out the form correctly? Tragic!
-
Something similar happened back in 2012 but the commissioner made an exception for the swimmers then. Yes the coach here messed up but just let the swimmers race especially the 8 seniors this is their last opportunity to race in high school. Just let them swim there’s no harm in that. Even Ryan Murphy agrees with that.
-
That is so sad
-
If the system is flawed, were there other schools that missed the deadline?
-
I’m guessing coaches fault ..this is the new generation hard at work
-
I think these students should be given an exception. They seem to be sincere athletes - who respect their teammates, coach, and the sport of swimming. The administrative-systems and bureaucratic-processes should be clarified, simplified, and updated. May the Goddesses of Water bless these young athletes with success.

AND THIS IS WORTHY NEWS, WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TOO!!
-
That is very sad. I hope they can rectify the situation.
-
dumb process with no receipt of confirmation.
-
These kids should be given an exemption that rule is just flat out wrong. I get it that they have deadlines and everything. But that is on their coach the kids should t be punished for their coaches incompetence
-
Man they let kids wear anything in school now days huh? Parents part of the problem too.
-
Cmon, criminals get multiple free passes. But academic students can't get a waiver? I know this isn't the criminal justice system. Let them compete! Maybe if one went TRANS they would let them compete.
