Heard that the older brother was staying at Paintsville also. I guess the Khsaa will have to rule the younger Moore ineligible for next season and he will have to sit a year. They set precedent with Kash Daniel being ruled ineligible when he transferred to Pikeville because his sister was still at Paintsville and wasn’t moving. He ended up going back because that was the only chance of playing without sitting a year or his sister moving.

Not trying to speak to any individual kid's situation, and will preface this by saying that I personally know none of the kids mentioned in this thread or anything about them, but as to the bolded, I would imagine that, from a pure policy standpoint, this would be impossible to apply as a blanket rule.

Could see a situation where parents are divorced and one (or more) of the children is of age to decide which parent they want to reside with necessitating an exception.

Know the publicly available information for a kid who transferred from a private (which is notoriously tough on letting kids who try to transfer out do so and has shown time and time again that they will do whatever they can to throw roadblocks in their way) to a public which was some of their stiffest competition. Kid was initially ruled ineligible and it got overturned because he had a learning disability and parents argued that the public had more resources in place for his needs.

Personally, I know of situations where a family has moved, and because one kid was about to finish their senior year (and only had that year remaining), they made arrangements to stay in their system while other siblings enrolled at a new school. The situation had absolutely nothing to do with sports either.

Just too many scenarios like the those above that would allow exceptions. Obviously, when their former school is arguing that a transfer wasn't legitimate, siblings remaining in the original school would be suggestive and a factor to be considered, but I'm not sure that alone would determinative.
