We are talking high school age kids, presumably all of which are playing or at least trying to play high school ball. Who does that to these kids? Then the same Coach, as original rant was about, blasts it all over the team facebook page claiming a Championship and how proud he is of them.....if you didn't know what tourny or bothered checking into it you would honestly think they won a "National" championship.

I just don't get it with some people!

There is a large tournament in my neck of the woods that does that. After pool play, the top 16 teams play in the Gold bracket. The rest play in the silver bracket. There are two "champions." I guess if mommy and daddy are paying to get little Johnny into the tournament, they want him to be a champion.
