I can see both sides of this issue but the losing team didn’t have “severe” disabilities. They had learning problems, dyslexia, etc. Calling them severe disabilities sounds like kids in wheelchairs. I saw them on the news, they look and sound like any other kids.

Thanks for the info.

I too understand both sides, and I spent several years coaching both baseball and basketball in youth leagues and Little League.

BTW, I like your screen name, LOL. I noticed it the other day when you asked to join the Fashionista ping list.

Aren't "learning problems" a requirement for a good basketball team? or is that just mens basketball?

It’s tough to teach learning disabled kids how to run the 1-3-1 or even how to pick and roll.
