Reply to "Proving an old coach wrong!!!"

Thats a good story bballman! I really like how the coach was willing to admit he made a mistake.

One side question - if you (or your son) "proves a coach wrong" - did they really? Or was the coach possibly "right" at the time he made his decision? I mean, after all, we all acknowledge that the 'best player' at 10 isn't necessarily the best one at 12...14...HS - right?

So what makes the coach "wrong" if we succeed later down the road in his face? Maybe the coach is wrong, or maybe he was right...at that time?

Just something to think about - our younger son's HS coach has lots of stories about kids that barely made the team as freshmen but were stars by their senior year - including one who made it to MLB.
