Do holdbacks as a category exist in the real world? Is it a concept High School or College coaches care about? Or does it only exist in forums and the minds of LARPing dads?
Nope, college coaches don't care. Read any article on any sport regarding the transfer portal, grad students and the extra year of eligibility.
High school coaches don’t care either.
Frankly they prefer it it in MIAA to compete. Sorta sad, but that is the way it is now. I dont know why we cant hold back two years? or is that stretching it?
CH recently tried that and the league ruled the player ineligibility for 2022.
They have at least a few kids who were considered HS "juniors" last year, and are still enrolled at CH, but not participating in 2022 due to their...uhm...advanced age.
And they still have 120+ kids on their program roster.
