@CoachWB33 Wrong, public schools don’t recruit

The public vs private high school debate in NY is interesting. If associated with a public school u claim that the privates recruit & they do. With that being said, the best public school programs/coaches are recruiting as well. Just the reality of the situation. #JustCompete

@Andy_Villamarzo It’s about time! @SecVAthletics @RobertZayasNY

New: A New York section could ban private schools from NYSPHSAA state playoffs — Section One will review this Friday on moving forward with an amendment that would make 4 schools ineligible👀 The decision could potentially trigger a statewide shockwave to public vs private competition on3.com/high-school/ne… @On3Richie @RutgersOn3

Old Forge School District Superintendent Chris Gatto sent this letter to the PIAA:

@DanthePhotoMan_ @RobertZayasNY @Section6GirlsBB ? All the private schools!

@Kristin0323 @RobertZayasNY @Section6GirlsBB Did you see what happened in class AAA girls....

This right here!!!! @RobertZayasNY @Section6GirlsBB

@News_8 Yea a private school dominating in a public school tournament 🙄

🏆 STATE CHAMPS 🏆 Dominance from start to finish. Notre Dame Batavia takes down Chateaugay 65-49 to capture the Class D New York State Championship! rochesterfirst.com

@RobertZayasNY @NYSPHSAA Why are private schools allowed in the public state tournament!!?

Championship energy in the Capital Region! The @nysphsaa Girls Basketball Championships at Hudson Valley Community College showcases the very best of high school athletics. One of the best times of the year! #NYSPHSAA

@tml1000 A private school about to win the NYS Public HS State championship 🤔🤔🤔🤔@RobertZayasNY @Section6GirlsBB

1:24 remaining, BND has extended their lead back out to 11, 58-47. S Faletti finish inside, followed by a dagger triple from her sister Gianna.

@KMaherNews12 @NYSPHSAA @RobertZayasNY

It's happened again! Carle Place (boys) & William Floyd (girls) lose to NON-PUBLIC SCHOOLS in the state basketball playoffs. Carle Place lost to an Albany area charter school. Floyd lost to a Rochester private school. Something needs to be done about this. @NYSPHSAA

@NYSTakeover @NateLull @mckennahoyt34 @SecVGBasketball @tml1000 Hmmm how many are private schools

And then there were four (continued)… NYSPHSAA state championship weekend on deck. I’ve spent all winter traveling everywhere to cover games & watch players/teams in person. Time to knock out previews with a quick look at the last four standing, class by class, and an overview of each semifinal matchup. Class D takes center stage tomorrow night, so let’s get to them… HERE (subscriber stuff) ⬇️ empirestatetakeover.com/2026/03/18/and…

@RobertZayasNY @NYSPHSAA Yes @RobertZayasNY please take a look and see. How is this acceptable l?! Private schools can recruit and pick their own team when public take what they have?! It’s the NYS Public HS Athletic Association. Look on the trophy🤷‍♀️

Today I had the opportunity to speak at a press conference at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, the proud home of the 2026 @NYSPHSAA Boys Basketball State Championships. Thank you to the City of Binghamton for hosting a first-class event and providing an outstanding experience for the best boys basketball teams in New York State.

@KDJmedia1 @NYSPHSAA @RobertZayasNY act like you care and acknowledge the problem!

@KDJmedia1 @NYSPHSAA No private schools should be allowed to participate in the NYS PUBLIC HS playoffs!

Syracuse area public schools are tired of Christian Brothers Academy, the five-time @NYSPHSAA state football champions, due to alleged "unfair recruiting practices." This is major. Those resisting a restructure of NYSPHSAA playoffs must take notice syracuse.com/highschoolspor…

@CM81995 @PickinSplinters @RobertZayasNY

@CM81995 @PickinSplinters I mean when you can recruit why expect anything else 😡

From the weekend: pickinsplinters.com/2026/03/13/gre…

@kenrad24 @KDJmedia1 @NYSPHSAA Section VI which is where I live doesn’t allow it but of course Section V does. It shouldn’t be allowed. They have their own championship. They for sure shouldn’t be allowed in Class D, the smallest of the schools.

@Kristin0323 @KDJmedia1 @NYSPHSAA Agreed. People forget what the P stands for. Now to get NYC and LI involved. Pretty crazy that the most populated parts of the state aren't represented in the state playoffs.

@CM81995 @NYSPHSAA @nysacho @HudsonValleyCC Class D girls has 2/4!!! Should not be acceptable!

@NYSPHSAA @nysacho @HudsonValleyCC What is the ratio of private schools to public schools in the final four, regionals, sectional finals?

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO🏀 Presented by @nysacho The 'Final Four' of the #NYSPHSAA Girls Basketball brackets are SET! Check out all the info and be READY for tip off!

This right here!!!! What’s the P stand for?! PUBLIC! Private schools should not be allowed to participate! They recruit! Come on, enough is enough!

@PickinSplinters @AQ__Athletics Hmmm two private schools..

Schedule for later this week when @AQ__Athletics Our Lady of Mercy, and Notre Dame-Batavia take the court in the state semifinals. pickinsplinters.com/2026/03/17/sta…
