Why De La Salle’s request to be in NorCal Open bracket is no big deal

The uproar about De La Salle being in the Open Division for the NorCal basketball regionals is much to do about nothing.

Seriously.

So what if De La Salle made a call to its section office and the state CIF and asked to be in the Open.

Is that really so egregious?

At that point, the ball was in the section’s and state CIF’s court. Not De La Salle’s. The North Coast Section and state CIF could have said thanks but no thanks, or they could have obliged.

They obviously went with the latter option.
