If everyone is playing by the same ground rules then it is fine. They were not. The biggest beneficiary of this mess will be Chaminade and the rest of the Nassau public schools.

Sounds like the bigger problem is the same as with some other travel clubs - the few parents who think their kids should be treated differently and held to different standards because in their opinion they are better than all the others. They think their kid should be out there every play, and only their kid or a few select others should be allowed to handle the ball or take shots, usually to the detriment of everyone else on the team. The GC program is relatively new, so its tough to say their youth system is broken since there really never was one before. Sounds like they're still figuring it out.
