TCB1,
Maybe it wasn't you, but the general tone of the thread is pretty brutal. These are kids with more than one priority in life. As they should be. Plus, they generally have very little say in what their families want them to do. I know that when I was in HS and my Dad said we were going on a fishing trip for a week during the season, I didn't have the option to say no. I know that you and most coaches are going to do what is best for the kids. I just don't see the point in kicking a kid off of the team, reducing his playing time or not putting them on the team because of some schedule conflict. How many kids, 20 years later, are going to say "Thanks Coach. I am glad you made me miss that (fill in the blank) so I could play for you."
