You totally missed the point Pat and what does AJ's pedigree have to do with it? His kid took away a spot of a kid who paid $185 and is most likely better and deserving of the spot. That is flat out wrong. Plenty of coaches out there doing their thing without having to compromise the integrity of a tryout. PAL is where Daddy coaches should be. When it comes to families laying out money, Daddy coach needs to put his personal situation aside and do what is right. If he can't, don't coach.
This could have all been avoided if Warrior put up a disclaimer prior to tryouts stating that the 3 coaches boys will be guaranteed a spot. Maybe 10 less kids show up but at least it would have been upfront and transparent.
Also, it was crap when you know who walked down the line counting a kid to a number and purposely skipped numbers around when they organized the game. You think the kids didn't realize that? You think the kids are stupid in 6th grade? Not! They know exactly what crap favoritism is and what it looks like. They come home and tell us what happened at the line up. when more than one kid says the same thing you realize they didn't make it up.
