Players would complain and they were told nothing could be done because it was already called in by the coach. The "mistakes" always favored the same players. My guy plays defense so it never affected him. Those that say stats are not accurate are not making it up.

Once again, a poster throwing around words like "top ranked teams" "it happened all the time", yet gives no specific dates or teams to validate the claim. It didn't happen all the time, the stats were mostly accurate, and what kid is complaining to the coach about missing stats? if my son made that complaint to his coach he would be done and I would be embarrassed for him. Whatever happened to winning?

Obviously the person who posted this did not want to get specific. Can’t blame him. Top ranked it’s pretty easy to determine. Nassau and Suffolk both only had one top conference where the best teams competed against each other. I know for a fact the statistics are not accurate. There is a reason why college coaches ignore them. Most of the time there is some kid keeping score and does not even understand the rules of what is an assist. . In fact most of the parents on here probably can’t give the definition of an assist. Nothing against anyone but it is just insane to think that the statistics are accurate.
