I know it holds up the works, and pitchers really do hold a lot of power. All I know is that we had one team completely implode because 2 of 3 pitchers quit and then another team that promised good pitching but did not live up to the promises. For DD's first year of 16U (an important year for recruiting purposes), we just don't want another scenario where the coach promises "high A level" play and then we wind up either in B tournaments most of the time or getting our butts kicked all the time in A level tournaments (like happened to us last year) because our pitchers are still developing and just not ready. We just aren't going to commit until we're sure. If the coach won't wait and wants to move on, I understand.

It wasn't meant as a knock on you by any means. My angst is not with you. It is with the entire system. In fact, the bold above supports the point I was trying to make. One thing I really love about DFP is that all of the challenges I have faced throughout DD's travel ball career seem small now. The process seems to be getting more and more difficult. I feel blessed that we never had to deal with any of the problems you and others are faced with. Best of luck to your DD!
