Funny how some dads only can resort to the Crabs guy's waistline. I guess there's nothing else to say if his teams keep beating yours.
When you have talented players, you challenge them, not demote them to play younger kids. Talent never plays down. What is wrong with you parents that cannot see your kid is being taken advantage of by a man for his ego and wallet? Who really believes playing down is what a truly talented player, in any sport does? Challenge your kid and they will go a lot further than what is being offered. It's a shame and embarrassment to see so many parents falling prey to this. Never derail your kids life for a sport. Get good grades and play up and more opportunity and money will come their way.
You are correct that playing up is better for the kids game. But being held back is way way way way better for this college commitment game. And by the list of 2018, and 2019 D1 college commits the Holdback kids and parents are winning this game by a land slide. We can argue that these early commits mean nothing but that is TBD with these new early commit classes. So until these classes of early kids hit the college scene and they have to fail then the holdbacks will slow down or stop, But if these held back kids get to college and play well as a whole then the hold backs will never go anywhere.
