I'm pretty sure DFP is a social media site
I have coached for a very long time at both the HS and MS levels as well as TB. I've been the HC in 4 different sports. Let me tell you that to say that I disagree with everyone makes the team and every plays is an understatement.
My H is an officer of the boosters
I have coached for a very long time at both the HS and MS levels as well as TB. I've been the HC in 4 different sports. Let me tell you that to say that I disagree with everyone makes the team and every plays is an understatement. There are a lot more things that go into it than what is being considered here in this thread. At one point, I attempted to get out of basketball but was then assigned to MS Girl's 7th Grade Basketball. We can be assigned a duty for a couple of years much like we can be assigned to be a class sponsor. So, the new MS AD came up with the idea that I had to keep 14 players and every player had to play in both halfs of the game with "significant minutes". Do you know what happens when you put the 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 players into a game? This AD pretty much destroyed the HS girl's basketball program. They were beaten so badly every game and no matter what, I couldn't do anything about it. No team we played played more than 7. The athletes didn't go out for 8th grade and HS basketball and they had a few years of no wins at the HS level. What about property values? Our school was a joke once upon a time and everyone not only beat us but beat us badly. The year before I came to this school, the school I was at beat this school 29-0 in baseball and didn't try to rub it in. So, when I got here, we turned things around. Our school district started booming and we had to build a new HS. We win at everything now. In my subdivision, we have 4 new houses and 2 started. Well, I could go on and on.
What does ETA and the frowny faces mean? Do you dislike boosters?Or is this some kind of reflection on my opinion?
Honestly, what do you think should happen in a small town with no rec ball for girls over age 12? What should happen when 15 girls go out for a team and 3 of them have never played? Cut the 3? Or try to teach them some ball and give them something to do?
I agree that a 50 person roster is impractical, but if it is possible, practical and feasible, why not keep everyone?
If the score is 20-3 why not put the inexperienced girls in?
I guess your school teams are just a lot better than ourss
