Reply to "High School Coach"

We played on a TT with a kid who's dad got in on the tournament basketball thing when it was just taking off. He made a very successful living at it and Drew became a gym rat and a very, very good player. Natural born leader, had a feel for the game, good work ethic, etc. About the only negative thing you could say about the kid was he knew how good he was. The only reason that kid isn't playing big time college basketball is his size. Anyway  I ran into his dad at a tournament what would have been his Jr year of HS. Asked about basketball and he said the kid wasn't playing. Stated the kid did not play much his sophomore year and sat down with the coach. Guy told him "I don't like you. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you are not going to play for me". Coaches are people too, with the same flaws as the rest of us.
