He is a MATERIAL REASON why kids don't play for Madlax, for the simple fact that parents know his character and M.O.

I've seen the level of talent on the field, know several of the parents/kids, and won't be surprised come Fall you see a talent drain. Spin however you want, not playing in HoCo was purely driven by ego and how Maddux wants to position his 2020 club as "elite" when it is obvious they've still got work to do to reach that level.

But keep banging the Madlax drum; good luck.


Perhaps madlax felt playing teams that are of questionable quality won't make the kids better, and that scheduling scrimmages against better teams is a wiser choice.
