Actually, if the talent was equal as you say it was, chosing either way would imply a bias if it was not the direct result of a good reason. Wanting to win is the objective. Once again, sorry your kid didnt make it. Looking forward to seeing you out there next year.
You skirt around " bias " yet imply that it is.
What I imply is that you are splitting hairs without providing a solution or formula for deciding between equally talented players when a coach may know one of the players and not the other. Are they supposed to pick the player they do not know, or have never seen play before on purpose, simply because they know the other player? That is a bias against vs bias for selection. What is your solution? Role some dice? Have the 2 players come back and play Rock, Paper, Scissors? You are just arguing for the sake of arguing now. That was really my point the whole time. Objective accomplished.
