If a player transfers to your school, and he is from your rival school, or any school you play, is it okay for him to give you a copy of your rival’s playbook?
I think anything a kid knows/remembers is fair. But, if he hands you a playbook, that crosses the line and the coach should not take it.
We had a disgruntled parent send us a “playbook” of a rival one time. When we realized what it was, we called our rival, put it in an envelope, and sent it back. We did not make a copy of it either.
One of the assistants of our rival made an interesting comment though when we sent it back. He said you already know everything we do. It wouldn’t have mattered if you had kept it.
