My son is a junior playing behind two seniors. Last year 2005, he received some playing time mostly for defensive reasons. I know next year 2007, his senior year he will mostly likely start, and if not he will play alot. My son believes this year 2006 that his playing time will be limited playing behind these two seniors. If he red shirts this year 2006, he will have two full seasons of playing time. If he plays this year 2006, next year will be his last year. The question I have is how should my son bring this up to the coach or is this something that should not be brought up? I don't want the coach to be upset with him. I know this is the coaches decision but my son would like to have two full seasons of playing time. I asked my son what he thinks the coach will say and he said he does'nt think the coach will allow him to red shirt. Any advise I could give my son would be great.
