CoachB25 posted:Keep in mind that any coach that demands that their players participate in off season programs, take roll, ... and use that as a reason to cut a player when cuts are completed is subject to sanctions by most state associations with penalties to include suspensions for the coaching staff and loss of games. Parents need to educate themselves and then be prepared to act IF they can prove any violation of the state rules. That is why I am so adamant that my players don't have to attend and roll will not be taken.
By the time anything happens the season is over. Even if it's half over what do you think the reaction would be to disrupting the season when the coach is suspended or fired?
Two former pro basketball players (dads) told the basketball coach he was out of his mind to cut my son. It didn't change the coach's mind. He wanted players who were going to maximize their talent and be committed to the program. He didn't believe my son could do it playing two other sports.
It worked out. Having the winter to focus on baseball and physical training made him a better baseball player.
