Ouch this really sucks for the young men that didn't have anything to do with this up to and including the 2 in question... The coaches should of known this rule or at least checked the rules when these families joined the Legacy school system... smh again Adults put the screws to young mens dreams... I feel for the Srs on this team...

I wondered about this happening over there with the new coach. He coached or trained many in this area.

Ok because I do not follow Legacy I have a few questions...

AAW you said it was a new coach... So if a New coach hires in and he has coached any of these young men in the off season the kids who are already on the team make themselves ineligible?

The rule states according to the news article...[b] "A student who transfers to a TAPPS member school shall not be eligible for varsity competition in a sport for a period of one year if a coach in that sport at the new school coached or trained the student on an AAU, select, club, 7 on 7 or similar team during the previous 12 months."[/b]

so were the students in question new transfers or were they old students under a new coach?

They were probably new student/athletes that went to Legacy after new coach arrived. 

Another question I have is, 'What happens to San Antonio St. Gerard that Legacy just beat 7-0 in the previous round.'  That stinks for them that they were eliminated by a team with ineligible players.

And to be honest, I thought this was only a UIL rule used in public schools.  Good for TAPPS for enforcing this kind of rule in the private schools.  Helps level the playing field for other private schools that don't recruit.

When you think about it, what harm is it? They get to recruit anyway..... They are just high school kids like everyone else in the TAPPS program.... I'm guessing some jealous person had a problem with Coach Fack and did what any other jealous parent would have done.....

From what I have been told is the player or player's in question signed the athletic release stating that he played for Fack during the summer. The parent and old school signed off on it. It was then sent to the district and signed off on it then sent to TAPPS where it was then approved by TAPPS. An appeal is supposedly in the process. I don't believe anyone knowing violated any rules. Maybe someone from Legacy can chime in.

The fault in this case is complex.  It was made very clear that the students played summer ball for the coach.
There was no deceit at all.  The district and state TAPPS officials signed off on it months ago.  If there were a problem, it should have been reported then, but it was not.  Therefore, why would anyone believe there to be a problem?  Thus, the coach should not be held accountable, he simply came to the school and trusted the District and the State TAPPS to actually do their jobs of asking questions if certain boxes have check marks. 
Also, I think there might be some sour grapes on the parts of some local folks after the article in the Beaumont Enterprise a week or so ago. 
No one intentionally did anything wrong and if the Legacy Baseball season is over, then it was a great season.  And, now that the staff and faculty is clear about that single rule... it will be followed and Fackler will build a solid squad year in and year out.  He knows baseball and loves players... a quality not found that often in our area!

So your saying that because a T was crossed or an I dotted or a missed boxed checked that TAPPS is NOW going to end their season? after everything was done above board and tried to follow the rules??? something smells fishy here just not sure which direction the smell is coming from....

Is it being reviewed or is Legacy out??

Not real sure how you can be so certain about these statements. I agree with someone else that said something sure does smell fishy.

Either way KUDOS to TAPPS officials for adopting a smilar rule to the UIL and trying to uphold the integrity of HS sports.

Really hate this for those kids.

They don't deserve the punishment

Someone needs to be held accountable

No doubt. It seems the kids are the only ones being held accountable at the moment.

Looks like Landry is liking this from his tweets.

Surely both of you above know what happens when you "assume", it makes you no better than those who earlier in this thread made assumptions based on little to no evidence either way. Unless you have direct knowledge or are directly involved it often pays off in the long run to stay out of the discussion.

    • Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now. And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time. It's the frog in the slow boil.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.
