HS Basketball player plays for School A. Parent moves into new house outside of district of school A into district of school B over Christmas break. HS player (and their multiple siblings) continue to go to school A for second semester to at least finish out the school year. HS player plays in multiple games in 2nd semester at school A. HS player then proceeds to get suspended for disciplinary reasons from the basketball team at school A. After getting suspended HS player goes to and participates in practice at school B, while still being enrolled in school A and being at school A in class during this day. A few days later, HS player withdraws from school A and enrolls in school B, when would said player be eligible to play varsity at school B? Next school year? 365? 5 days after enrolling? Immediately? Does it all boil down to school A checking the "transfer for athletic reasons" box and nothing else? Tried to decipher a legitimate answer from the MSHSAA handbook, but I really wasn't sure what that answer would be.
 
I would think practicing in season with another school would create huge problems for the student and school B. If there was no practicing, then I would think student would be immediately eligible due to a full family move.

Are you talking U-City to SC West?
