Well first of all you dont understand the spirit of that rule. That rule was implemented for kids to be able to attend church with their families on wednesday nights. The Gattis deal didnt start until either 8 or 8:30 at night. So that means that the kids were able to attend church, go home and get some studying done and then go eat some pizza if they so choose to go. And yes it is VOLUNTARY. I have a relative on the team and he said none of the coaches have said anything about these meetings being mandatory. But what puzzles me is why all of a sudden this is a rules violation when it has been going on for 2 years and everyone has known about it? Youd think if this was such a terrible rules infraction that something wouldve been said 2 years ago, long before "The Basketball Nazi" got on the school board.
I have a question that maybe you in youre infinite wisdom can answer. When the coach has the B-ball team out running around the mini park in August is that voluntary? I sure hope it is for HIS sake.

So we went from a tail gate party in the parking lot taking money away from the football team. To someone asking players not to play football. Then the same person was trying to destroy the cheerleaders. Now it is to going to Gettiland for pizza. As a rule, no group or team can do anything at PHS after 6 pm on Wed. night. It isnt the spirit of the rule that counts, it is the rule in general. Groups can have practice or a game after 6 if they get board approval before hand. Not trying to sneak something past them. You also said no school funds were to be used along with the bus not being used. So my question is this, if that one person is trying to undermine the football team, cheerleaders, and every other group that is not basketball, is he doing that by saying the football team follow the same rules that every other group or club has to follow? Why couldnt the football team do what the basketball team does, show up at the school at 6 am to view the game films? The basketball team has practice at 6 am on Friday mornings so the basketball players can go support the football team at the games on Friday night.

As far as the basketball team running around the mini park in August, yes that was voluntary. My son missed it a time or two to do other things and nothing was said about it.
