Scots College student Kai Healy with his father Mike / Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied THE father of a schoolboy basketballer accused of being "imported" to help Sydney's Scots College win a prestigious GPS sports title has accused rival schools of being "jealous of success." Mike Healy, whose son Kai was one of the stars of Scots undefeated team this year, spoke out to "bring some truth" to what he described as a "shameful campaign." "It's just very sad that these boys are now facing this from people who should really look in the mirror before pointing fingers,"" he said. Five rival GPS schools have boycotted playing matches against Scots" top two basketball teams this season, accusing the Bellevue Hill school of breaching a "code of practice" by recruiting talented players with inducements. A source in one of the rival schools claimed Scots, which has won three consecutive 1sts basketball premierships, stacked "most of its squad" with players imported from other schools with the promise of free education. Kai Healy with his mother Heidi / Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied While denying the claims, Scots principal Ian Lambert detailed the background of Scots" top 20 players, revealing 12 were enrolled before Year 8, seven began schooling in years 9 or 10, while only one started in Year 11. The boy who started in Year 11 is Kai Healy, who switched from Barker College last year - and his parents are both working jobs to help cover the full fees of about $35,000 a year. "We actually approached Scots ourselves because we wanted Kai to be a whole person - not just a basketballer,"" Mr Healy said. He said Scots" basketball director David Todd tried to talk Kai out of switching schools because he was concerned he would face accusations of being an "import." "Kai had to really do a sales pitch to get in, but, sadly, what David said came true."" Mr Healy works as a finance director for a pharmaceutical company in Macquarie Park, while his wife Heidi is a real estate agent. "Kai is disappointed - they've all worked so hard,"" he said. He said his son's regimen began at 6am and included up to 30 hours of training a week on top of his schooling. "He normally doesn't get to bed until 10 or 11 so he's pretty sleep-deprived but he's determined to achieve his goals and we're very proud of him,"" Mr Healy said Kai, 17, was yesterday selected for the Australian Under -19 team. While it is widely accepted that many GPS schools deliberately recruit talented athletes, the GPS code prohibits sports scholarships, only allowing special treatment for gifted students and musicians. Mr Lambert said while Scots does not grant sports scholarships, it provides means-tested bursaries to 19 per cent of its students. "When people say, "how did you get here?," well guess what - it's a plan,"" the besieged principal said of the recent sports success. I apologise if we set out to be excellent.
