As my son(s) entered HS ball, one of the more interesting things I noticed about parents was the frustration of many whose son's were 12U superstars (no matter where they played) being relegated to the bench...passed up by someone they never expected.

The phrase "how could Joe be starting ahead of my son?...doesn't this coach know that Joe has never been better than ours" was uttered in various forms many times at our HS games.

Now of course there were studs who remained studs and duds who remained duds...but the "change" is hard for many to accept.
