You WOULD think the coach would want the best players on her team. In practice, this is NOT the case. If you don't think politics and playing favorites gets involved, you know nothing about what really goes on in the world of HS sports.
There are only two logical possibilities:
Given that DD 3 is one of only two sophomores playing on an "A" team, and they let a girl on varsity who had never played in a tournament, there are two and only two logical possibilities:
1. The HC is right that DD 3 is not ready for Varsity. That would mean EVERY other coach she has ever had in her life was wrong, and her TB team made a horrible mistake taking her.
2. All the other coaches are right, and the HC is wrong.
I saw DD 3 play fall ball with Varsity last fall.
DD 3 was one of the best hitters, the second best power hitter, the best base runner, one of the best infielders, one of the best outfielders, and a great pitcher. This isn't a disgruntled parent speaking. This is based on comments from various coaches and parents, etc.
My DD 3 used to be on a team that left Crush for the Devils. That year at least 3 teams left Crush, which had a strong organization up to that point.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the Devils team DD 3 was on. Great group. DD 3 wanted to try a stronger team, but had very mixed feelings. She cried a lot of tears leaving the Devils.
Remember back in the good ol days where the best players started...period. I hate politics
