your beliefs are your own and I won't use this forum to discuss my opinions in depth. It solves nothing and satisfies no one. I will say this though, we have always gone by the philosophy -become so good that the coach doesn't have to think about playing you. If the coach has to question whether to play you or not then its on you, not the coach.
I think it is a mistake to think that the anyone wants to win more than the coaches and that they would choose to do anything that would negate that process....
Peace and good will to you...
