Things may change based on how bad the DCE guys look trying to oust the Bullis coach.

I think Cabell's email proved that parents could care less how bad the leadership of the club looks as long as they feel like little Johnny's needs are being served

There are some weak arguments here and above. My sons team plays in HOCO and other tourneys against Madlax. Have seen other MLax teams play and generally play at a high level in the best tournaments (successful programs seem to catch the most grief (see also Hawks and Md91)). Kids do play at top schools and get recruited. Fairest criticism is a big roster size/lack of playing time and having two teams where DMV players/parents may aspire to Capital and hang out too long instead of looking at other options. But the top kids seem to do great...
