I agree as well. But . . . isn't there always the fear of the coach that he will accused of keeping players on the school team because they play on the town travel team? I think the coach is in a can't win situation there. He wants to keep a subpar player on the travel team to let him develop, but how does he cut that same kid when tryouts come along? He might feel pressured to keep the kid because he plays on the travel team. Then again, some coaches keep all of the kids - don't cut any - but they just don't play. Guess that would work in a smaller school district where coaches don't need to cut.
