Indiana HS basketball / controversy about transfer

Article linked describes controversy and a letter from Coach Rinehart at Laffy Harrison and other coaches addressed to IHSAA about coaches recruiting from non IHSAA schools and AAU ranks:

"Rinehart points to Tech as an example, though not the only team on Harrison’s conference schedule to benefit from transfers. But the Titans are a prime example.

The starting lineup includes players who previously played elsewhere in the North Central Conference: Reggie Bass (Muncie Central), RaSheed Jones (Marion), Dayveon Turner (Anderson) and Tylan Harris (Richmond) all played elsewhere in the NCC prior to Tech. Turner is the son of coach Damon Turner, who is in his second season with the Titans and coached his son, Bass and Jones in the Team Teague AAU program, though Bass and Jones both went to prep schools prior to coming to Tech. Another starter, senior Antonio Lisenbee, attended Avon before going to a prep school in Florida last season."

Here is the full letter Rinehart sent to the IHSAA on Nov. 1 and shared with IndyStar on Friday that was signed by 52 coaches and administrators:

High School Basketball in the State of Indiana is different. As Coaches, Athletic Directors, and Principals, we recognize the role that high school basketball plays in our schools and the impact that it can have on creating positive school environments and experiences for players, cheerleaders, band members, and general students as fans at games. We all have a responsibility to protect the integrity of the game at the high school level. As high school coaches specifically, we are given the opportunity to use this game to impact young people in ways that will have a positive impact on them over the course of their lives. Through the game, we teach and have the responsibility to build our kids and arm them with traits like character, responsibility, a willingness to give of themselves for something bigger. As Coaches, we believe in these values and we believe that young people in our state are better equipped to become successful and productive citizens through their participation in high school athletics. The game here is special, and it is special because generations of players, coaches, and school and state administrators have been willing to adhere to high standards.

Rinehart says the solution is to have conference limits since IHSAA is helpless to control abuse.
