    Two proposed rule changes dealing with transgender student-athletes in Washington did not pass, but the issue certainly didn’t end with those votes. The first proposal, labeled ML/HS #7, stated that “participation in girls’ sports would be limited to biological females,” according to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association website.

    The Washington State Interscholastic Activities Association Representative Assembly approved a significant change to transfer eligibility rules. “After establishing initial eligibility at a high school, students may now transfer one time during their four-year high school career, but only within designated transfer windows,” the WIAA said Monday. Those who transfer will have to sit out the first 40% of the season in the year after they transfer.

    Girls flag football is now a sanctioned sport by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, becoming the first new WIAA sport since girls bowling was added in 1999. The proposed amendment to make girls flag football a sanctioned sport received 22 of 35 votes (62.9%) from the WIAA Representative Assembly, exceeding the 60% threshold needed to pass. One year ago, a proposal to make girls flag football a sanctioned sport failed (26 in support and 27 opposed).

    A lot has happened since December when 14 school districts in the state proposed an amendment to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) handbook that would restrict participation in girls sports at the middle school and high school levels to students who were assigned female at birth. That amendment, and a second one that would create a new “open division” that trans students could participate in, failed to pass in advisory-only votes, the WIAA announced Monday.

Just happened upon Al Black (with sunglasses), a professor of mine and an IMA basketball teammate at UW, celebrating his 86th birthday. He had a big impact on my life. Seated across from him was Lenny Wilkens. https://t.co/xKPwbk4uLB
