People shouldn't make accusations when they really don't know what is going on and what the rules allow and do not allow. The coaches that bring teams to Longwood get paid as camp counselors -- they work the camp. This is a common practice at other camps as well. And, its not just high school coaches -- AAU coaches do this too. Even if this were improper, I don't see how that helps Oakton girls' basketball. If other schools get to bring their teams to a camp with their coach out of season, then it seems to me it helps them, not Oakton.
Same goes for the Basketball place. Just go down to Hoop Magic off of route 50 and you will see several basketball trainers coaching kids during the off season. High school coaches are permitted to offer their services as well in this capacity. If you are suggesting that Oakton would pick a kid that went to his outfit over someone who was better, but didn't go, -- wouldn't that make Oakton a worse team since they are picking inferior players?
The Darrell Green's son issue was thoroughly reviewed by VHSL and they agreed that Green was properly at Oakton HS. It was reported in the Washington Post.
