I think last year it was 28 or 29 players on the Green team.

Who cares, the question is:

Is it a conflict of interest for a High School Coach to coerce players into playing for a summer team when he has a financial interest in that team?

Be Honest...

To those of you who believe that (the coach will play the best players) I will challenge you by saying that (the coach will play who he believes to be the best players). They may or may not be the best players but it is his decision.

In a district the size of Ward Melville there are very good players who do not get on the field. The coach does not always select the best player. Take a look at this years team, many of their best players did not see much playing time as juniors. Were last years Seniors so much better??

I am not questioning the coaches, I am pointing out that they are blessed with depth and that not every kid can get quality playing time.

If you feel that your son would be better served by doing something different for the summer so be it. No player should be punished for trying to get better and help himself.

The question is: Is it a conflict of interest????
