We have touched on many interesting topics in this thread.TR Hit is correct in saying if there is not a lot of talent,no one will win.The
biggest problem I have is that I don't think that putting the best team on the field is a priority-all of the off the field nonsense is more important to the coach than actual performance.A good player on this type of team is handicapped by the fact that NO SCOUTS will ever see one his games and the reputation of the
school taints him when trying out for local select teams.As for the drugs and alcohol, my son tells me what goes on-kids that come to practice high,putting tequila in gatorade and drinking it before a game,etc.I have not and will not ever tell the coach about it-he is always preaching to them about it,but is incapable of discovering anything because it might upset some of his favorites.If all of the
kids can figure it out,why can't he?
