My son played baseball and soccer. Freshman year he also played basketball. He figured he had a shot at starting point guard on varsity soph year. He was cut from the program for never attending “optional” off season workouts and not playing in the summer league. The coach decided since he was already playing two varsity sports he didn’t have time for basketball.
It was amusing soph year as the team struggled offensively in crunch time without a pass first point guard. A player’s dad (a former ten year NBA player) would yell at the coach, “Your best point guard is sitting in the stands.”
The thing is the time off in the winter and doing baseball and physical development work made him a better baseball player.
