Carol Cole's Son Did Similar Thing in Racquetball

In Response To: Slightly OT ethics example (Barry Silliman)

I only recall the outline of the story, but surely someone else will be able to fill in the details. I read this more than ten years ago in Carol's newsletter.

Carol Cole's son was playing for the national racquetball championship, and was awarded the point by the ref. He was honest enough to tell that he had done something that disqualified him from winning the point.

As I recall, it cost him the national title.

Hope someone else will fill in the rest of the story.
