You're right.

I expect more from the coach/educator.

Would we be wishing a player who quit on his team at this point in the season the best?

Ah, yes, those easy to make adjustments at halftime. If everyone made them, no one would ever lose.

Are kids in wheelchairs, handicapped students, special education students counted toward the total numbers of those "available" for athletics? Probably. I would think the number of physically disabled students is insignificant and not counting them could allow numbers to be manipulated a ...
