UHSAA officials defend hearing process; lawmakers press for clearer conflict checks and discovery rules
Summary
UHSAA officials told lawmakers the association uses regional boards, executive-committee panels and conflict screening to adjudicate recruiting and transfer complaints; lawmakers urged improved discovery rules and measures to reduce perceived bias.
