Check out this Month's "Ethical Educator" Column

March 2, 2018

Meira Levinson discusses conflicts of interest and the ethics of basketball tryouts in this month's "Ethical Educator" column.

"Scenario: After varsity basketball tryouts, a parent complains her son didn’t make the team because he hadn’t participated in the assistant coach’s private off-season basketball club. The coaches contend they make selections based on performance criteria during tryouts and not on off-season play. The new athletic director discovers the majority of the varsity team participated in the assistant coach’s off-season club. He asks the superintendent how he should handle the parent’s complaint."
