<<Of course, the main point isn't that
there is plagiarism involved, but that people are
paying top dollar for plagiarized questions which are
freely accessible by other means. However, aside from
that point, I do think that not too many high school
coaches out there really care about this issue... even
some of the best coaches out there.

Every coach who brings a team to the NAC needs to ask
himself this question:
Is it proper to spend
thousands of dollars to bring students to a tournament run
by someone whose actions, in conducting the business
which runs the tournament, would cause him to be:
1)
expelled, were he a college student?
2) failed for the
class and possibly disciplined further, were he a high
school student?
I haven't read the honor codes of
a great deal of high schools, but I'd be surprised
if a single school that goes to the NAC didn't have
*some* penalty for plagiarism in its
rules.
