Just think how angry they would have been if they were cut. Thank your lucky stars that the coach recognized those players that were committed to the team and the game, even though they weren't going to be starters.
Cut them and you deal with angry parent one or two days
Keep them and you deal with angry parent the whole season
This is obviously worst case scenario. If you keep a kid who is a program guy but won't see a lot of playing time then you better explain that to him. I tell kids they don't have the talent to play much but because of work ethic, attitude, etc... we would like for them to stay but they won't play much and will be expected to show up and work hard. I give them that decision to make if they stay or not but if they stay they will not complain
