Just wondering how common it is for players to find a summer league team through using their own connections versus relying on the college coach.
For whatever reason, the coach might not get the player on a team, or maybe not on a team which meets the players goals and expectations.
Is it reasonable for the player to ask around and try to secure a spot? What are the odds of getting on a decent team this way? I know there are a lot of new pay-to play leagues, but I'm thinking more of the traditional leagues. How are things different this year due to covid and the surplus of players?
