The coach may see him as a kid that might can help down the road (Like when he is a senior)so he wants him to get playing time that he probably wouldnt get on JV A. Or maybe he just isnt as good as the other kids on JV A. That could be it too ya know.
Sounds like his coach likes him and just "let him down easy" - if ya know what I mean.

I am not sure what you mean.
As a former coach I would hear the same opinion of some of my player's defensive skills while the offense might not be as strong.
I would often start the better offense/average defense player over the better defense/average offense player until such time the game allowed me to strengthen the D to hold a lead.
I can only assume the coach knows what's best for the JVA team success and knows your son would not develop with them due to little play time. He may feel he would develop offensively with the JVB and become a better player for JVA next season.
Good luck to him.

Thanks for the input. I sent the Head Coach an email and told him I respect his decision but wanted to know what can my son do better since the assistant Coach told him was a good player and hard worker. My son still felt that there was something else, so the Coach wrote back and said he would talk to him today. Mind you I don't want and expect the Coach to change his mind but rather know the reason so my son can work on it. "You can't improve unless you know"

Stay out of it. Let your son handle it. Coach your son so he knows what to ask, how to ask it, etc....but let him handle the interaction with the coach.
josephj,
I think I know the answer to this, but I have to ask anyway. What the heck are JV a and JV b teams? If y’all have enough players and opponents to field 2 JV teams, all I can say is, my hat’s off to ya!

I am but know that The Coach (Head) said if the parents had any concerns contact him which I did but not to intervene. I agree he needs to handle this and he is.
