Throughout the season, John Adams enjoyed a strong following, but they also faced some tough criticism on and off the court. The team which had the self described nickname of "disaster squad" because of their intense work and dedication had the unique distinction of being the first, and the last team to win the State Championship with boys on the roster. Early on under the new Title IX law, interpretation of the law did not disallow boys from competing on the girls team. Adams Coach Susan Ganser, Principal William Przybysz, and the three boys on the team faced strong criticism and taunts throughout the season. While Coach Ganser made sure to never have more than one boy on the court at a time, the school and team faced criticism. Just a few days after the Eagles won the State Championship, the IHSAA changed their interpretation of the wording, preventing boys from competing on girls teams.
