Correct but not on the original announced rosters so how did he get placed on a team he did not try out for. It seems as though you are vehemently trying to defend these actions as though you have a vested interest. Facts are facts this boy should never have received the same accolades of a boy who worked hard and tried out for this showcase. If you continue to look at the main page roster there are a lot of question marks that can be placed alongside a boy who lives far away from the state he played for.
I do not have a vested interest, my kid played in the tournament 2 years ago and I have no life so I read BOTC 24/7 and like to stir the pot when I read obsessive compulsive anonymous postings on lax sites, it rocks my world, and FYI the father/director you have a beef with has an e-mail and phone number posted on his teams web site, give him a call and hash it out with him, I am sure that will go well!!
http://www.goduke.com/StaffDirectory.dbml Who cares? Is this a surprise to everyone? He knew someone and got on a team. Anyone think this is only kid that got on that way? Think that's any different than any HS or travel tryout? Welcome to life. All about who you know and how you can position yourself. Everyone is all about integrity today while they are leaving kids back in school and play on teams they are not on! Move on!
Who cares you ask! You write the word integrity then write move on!
No, here is where you make your stand and not move on. Here is where we teach our kids right from wrong and show them that although other people may not always do the right thing, yes that is life but you do not disgrace the family name by doing the wrong thing (perceived or actual) what the heck happened to morals.
You teach your kid yes it is sometimes hard to do the right thing but you still need to try.
"Disgrace the family name"?? Slow down Shakespheare! I agree teach your kids the right thing, but the right thing is not always reality unfortunately. That is important to teach as well.
