Indy Metro withdraws from state tournament
Indianapolis Metropolitan High School has informed the Indiana High School Athletic Association, Inc. that it is withdrawing from this year’s boys basketball state tournament after self‐reporting multiple violations committed by its program.
In addition to withdrawing, the following determinations have been made by the IHSAA:
1. The boys’ basketball program is placed on probation throughout the remainder of this school year and the entire 2017‐18 school year.
2. A student-athlete was in violation of Rule 4‐1 (Maximum Age of Student Athletes) of the IHSAA by‐laws. This student is declared ineligible immediately. All contests at any level where this student participated shall be forfeited.
3. A student-athlete was in violation of Rules 12 (Enrollment), 19 (Transfer Eligibility) and 50 (Minimum Number of Required Practices Before Competition). The student is declared ineligible immediately. All contests at any level where this student participated shall be forfeited.
4. Head coach Lee Jackson is severely reprimanded for allowing these violations to occur. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for multiple rules violations.
