Anybody having any trouble with the edict that came down that Rawlings balls will be used in the playoffs? Would have no problem if these balls were good balls at a good price. Volleyballs are overpriced and not as good as the Mikasa, most everybody uses the Dudley softball and the Wilson/Spalding basketball - nobody uses the Rawlings in these sports because the ball is inferior to the others. Is this the tip of the iceberg? What's next - mats? shoulder pads? bats and gloves? uniforms? fertilizer? buses?
 
I have HUGE problems with it.... just like the Federal, State and Local government.... the SCHSL passes a mandate (bill, law, whatever) that will benefit themselves, but not issue any money for you to follow the order.

The SCHSL tells schools they must use Rawlings, yet they failed to negotiate ANY kind of bulk discount to benefit the hundreds of schools who are going to have to buy thousands of balls.

:mad:

Absolutely ridiculous.

But, hey... it's the League.... we - supposedly - can change this if we want to. I hear this stated by dozens of coaches, and yet everyone just bummbles along doing what they are ordered to do, like mindless drones.

:confused:
