Drupal: How to use Taxonomy to implement my idea

Question

I have a bunch of Bout nodes. Each Bout is associated with a school, and a player who goes to that school. I am thinking it will work to do this association through taxonomy. (The schools and players are drawn from a list that remains fairly constant over time.)

One idea is to have the school name be the parent term, with players as children terms:

Princeton University
    Jorma
    Akiva
    Andy

Would this work, in terms of enforcing integrity constraints? (Each bout must be associated with one school and one player.) Or am I better off using a different taxonomy structure? Different vocabs? (But I want to maintain a way the connection between players and schools. Given a school, I want to be able to retrieve the corresponding players.)

Answer 1

I'd make nodes and players into nodes, and use (required) node reference CCK fields to bind them all together. The Node Referrer module allows you to use those node references in a two-way manner as you seem to want to do.
