Jaime Nared is nearly 6-foot-1 and blessed with Michael Jordan-style skills. In games the 12-year-old girl performed more excellently than boys sometimes scoring 30 points or more.
And there according to her coach lies the problem.
She’s so good Michael Abraham said so she makes the boys look like scrubs (灌木丛). So she has been told she can no longer play in boys’ teams at The Hoop which organizes a league (联赛) in which Abraham’s teams compete.
The trouble started last month when some parents told The Hoop management they didn’t like Jaime playing with the boys. The Hoop officials informed Abraham that Jaime after years in one of his boys’ teams was banned. Neal Franzer The Hoop’s director of operations said Thursday that the parents were adamant (坚决的)
but their complaints had nothing to do with Jaime’s skills.
“They said the problem was the boys were playing differently against her because she was a girl ” he said. “They’d been taught not to push a girl and the focus had shifted from playing basketball to noticing a girl was on the floor with them.”
The Hoop officials e-mailed Abraham to remind him of the rules. Abraham Jaime and her parents don’t buy it. “I think the complaints come from parents who don’t like seeing a girl who plays better than their sons ” Abraham said.
Jaime who said she “fell in love” with basketball when she was 8 likes the boys’ team because boys play a fast-paced game.
Jaime’s mom Reiko Williams said the issue boiled over after a particular game. “She scored 30 points ” Williams said. “I remember one play. She stole the ball and made a behind-the-back pass to a teammate. He missed it and she grabbed the rebound and put it in. I think it was just too much for some of those parents.”
