I found the following in the NAFA Rule Book:
CODE OF CONDUCT
Coaches are expected to be leaders and must comply with the following prinicples and ethics:
a. Develop and maintain a comprehensive knowledge of current NAFA softball rules.
d. Comply wholeheartedly with the spirit and intent of the rules. THE DELIBERATE TEACHING OF PLAYERS TO VIOLATE THE RULES IS INDEFENSIBLE.
e. Teach their parents to respect the diginity and intergrity of the game, opponents, officials, spectators and the institutions they represent.
f. Prohibit team personnel from using profanity or making personal or malicious remarks towards opponents, officials, or spectators.
I could go on, but why bother? I think the four things I have listed just about cover everything the GCB crowd did NOT do once they realized they were disqualified.
GCB may want to argue all the reasons why listing players from another GCB team on their roster was not a big deal. They may go on and on about how Crush (Cole) was sooooooooo scared and by doing so, try to shift the focus to our team. They can split hairs about whether or not is it considered cheating, but the bottom lines is that the GCB coaches, parents and players all knew that they were breaking the rules & chose to do it anyway.
