The University Interscholastic League’s state executive committee took severe measures to punish Oak Cliff Faith Family girls basketball head coach Andrea...
The charter school has 18 transfers and was found guilty of recruiting violations, a lack of transparency and withholding information.Andrea Robinson, then the girls basketball coach at DeSoto, instructs her team during the second half of a playoff game against Cedar Hill on Feb. 20, 2024 at Ellis Davis Field House in Dallas.
“But there is a system in Texas with the PAPF to deal with that. If they transferred for athletic purposes, they are going to be deemed ineligible. There is a process for all of that. We’re going to get to that, and many of those student-athletes are not going to be allowed to participate in varsity athletics. But the question here today is about recruiting. ...
The transfers included four players ranked among the top 100 recruits in the nation. Two of those — five-star junior forward Amari Byles and four-star junior combo guard Amayah “Sunshine” Garcia — played for Robinson at DeSoto the past two seasons and finished as the Class 6A state runner-up in 2023.
UIL rules state that a student who transfers for an impermissible reason is still eligible at the school where varsity eligibility was first established, without the need of a waiver. A student must reenroll in the school within 30 days of being found ineligible at the transfer school. At that same time, the UIL stripped the Duncanville boys basketball team of its 2022 6A state title after ruling it used an ineligible player, and it suspended head coach David Peavy for one year.
