Friday, The NAACP said the WIAA’s system for ranking men’s high school basketball for the state championship playoffs is discriminatory. FOX13

On the opposite end, O’Dea High School ranked 9th in the regular season, and is now ranked 3rd in the playoff seeding."It comes a point in time, when you got to say ‘Enough is enough.’ Do the right thing. You guys say you’re about the kids. This is about the kids," said Rainier Beach High School Head basketball coach, Mike Bethea."We believe that this has been discriminatory," said Green.

FOX 13 News reached out to the WIAA at 11 a.m. Friday morning for a comment, statement or interview for this story. They did not respond.

NAACP should do homework. Can’t complain on behalf of a team that openly illegally recruits transfers for football and basketball every year. Then want to complain about fairness.

Bulldog_Dave It's BOYS basketball , not men's. This isn't college, it's high school.

Has she been introduced to the variables of RPI, it’s formula, and league playoffs?

🤦🏽‍♂️

I believe regular season record, strength of schedule, etc are all used. You could win a lot of games, be in a less competitive league and drop in the final rankings. Watch what happens when the NCAA puts out their final brackets.

Wait until she sees the baseball rankings.

Another example of adults ruining sports for kids. Kids don’t give a damn about rankings or where they are seeded in a tournament.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
