All this dam crying about fair and not fair. We have completely given in to the whining parent. If your kids not good enough he's not good enough that's it. Sorry if I am going to ruffle some feathers but its not PAL its not rec league where everyone get a trophy. A high school coaches career is measured on wins and losses. You win you keep your job as a coach you lose, bye bye. Thats it. Coaches,they coach and live, love the game but in the end its results. Let's put it in everyday terms for people to understand. You are in sales and work on commission you don't produce you don't have money to pay bills, and your out of a job. Do you guys get it or let's put it do you moms get it. It's not all rainbows and lollipops in the real world. Why do we think our kids are entitled it doesn't work that way.
I think the point might be that the kid IS good enough and the best situation for the kid might be to play on a select team and get better college looks then he might get on his HS team. and because WM amongst others have a very good team and the same kid might be starting as a soph on a lesser team and getting great college looks while at WM he may not play until his senior year where the best college opportunities may be gone. Chaminade might be the best example, 10th graders almost never play at Chaminade yet these boys play for various travel teams in the summer and get recruited the same kid at WM and is "encouraged" to play with the HS does not get those looks. so leaving pomposity out of it each parent must do what they think is best for their own kid and understand that there may be seen or unforeseen ramifications of that decision
