Your Friendly Neighborhood Snyderman

Just want to know why the North Carolina High School Athletic Association always feels the need to have the state basketball championships go head to head with the ACC Tournament. Why are you forcing us to choose one or the other. (I ask this last question as both a fan and a memner of the media). Wouldn't it make more sense to move the HS Finals up a week...play them the week before the ACC Tourney. That way we can enjoy and cover) both.  By the way, that's when SC plays their Championship games.

I asked an official of the NCHSAA that question once. He told me it really did not matter when the High Schools played, because fans of the ACC are different from Prep fans. I could not believe my ears. So you're saying no college fan would ever want to watch High School Hoops.  And even if that is the case...maybe if college fans were exposed to the hs championship games, they'd become fans of the NCHSAA Tourney. Gentlemen of the NCHSAA, it is no longer 1944. Move the games up a week and let everyone see first hand how great the Prep talent is in North Carolina.

Just a few thoughts from your friendly neighborhood Snyder-Man
