We meet individually with the player cut. We tell him why he was cut and what he needs to do in order to have a better chance to make the team next time. We tell the player if his parents want to meet with us to have them call the school and set up a meeting. We also meet with each member that makes the team. We tell them what we feel their role is and their weakness and strenghts and what they need to focus on in order to improve in these areas. We also tell them it is up to them if their role is expanded or shrunk depending on how hard they work and how they perform. When I was cut as a Soph in HS (no jv no freshman team) a list was posted on the gym door of those that made the team. It hurt me but it motivated me as well. I think we do it the right way but that in no way means that I am coming down on how other people do it. Just my opinion
