If you are saying that there is never a situation in the college ranks where a player who is currently capable of playing better than another, but is still relegated to play behind that other player, you are wrong. This happens a lot with a player who is highly recruited, and then, when that player doesn't live up to expectations, he or she is provided a much longer rope to achieve the expected potential before the coach finally lets the player(s) 'behind' that player get their chance. [lacrosse], this happens in the pros with high paid contracts! Bottom line, is that if it happens in the pros, in colleges, then it also happens at all of the levels below, with private schools being worse than public schools at the HS levels.


You are correct however i was replying to a parent asking what to do about a relative of a coach playing over their special child..."When a coaches relative plays over kids who are clearly better players (kids committed to Top 20 programs), how should a parent respond? Serious question."
