UA needs to find coaches from LI that do not have such a vested interest with specific girls on the team. Find coaches from other LI age groups. Pay them if you have to. Then no one can complain that the coaches club girls were favored. Not sure if that was the case?[/quote]
Everyone is just trying to advance their own interests.
Is it to advance a club? Is it to get certain players awards? Is it because of favorable player, Coach relationships? The answer will always be yes in the current system. There were multiple girls that were having a good tournament, some played a little and some didn’t play at all in the final game. They played as a team up until the semis and beat everyone handily.
Some players were micro managed and others were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Resulted in selfish play, turnovers, bad shots, bad defensive rotations and silly mistakes down the stretch. Nature of these tournaments in this format. The girls tried hard, very talented team and tournament wasted in the end.
It is easy to say “play better to see the field” but the fact of the matter each line made plays to win games throughout the tournament. Even in the semifinal game the 2nd line took a 7-7 game and made it 10-7 before the eventual 11-10 loss in the 3 minutes they played the 2nd half. All could use some self reflection. |
