Let's see FM lost last year in the first round, done, over, move on..........don't you think the team, the coach and the players suffered enough over that loss. To have the talent, the depth and don't forget all the hype/eyes that were on that team.... then to lose like they did, don't you think each and everyone associated with that team last year carries that burden with them, esp. the coach?
Train, what a lot of us don't understand is why you, a non FM parent, continues to bring this up. Let those coaches/parents/players deal with it on their own and let those associated with this year's program focus on "this year"... Or should we spend all of next year talking about how your Coach chose a 1 Game Playoff vs a Series and continue to bash him over and over about that decision.........
After your game you saw a little of this from the FM parents but they dropped it and moved on maybe because they are taking the high road on this one, maybe it is because they understand mistakes and maybe it is because they are focused on what is truly important their own program and not other programs.........
As to your comment on good players on the bench, Heck every program I know, that has more than 9 players on their team, has good players "on the bench"..and their parents will point that out to you......we don't always understand, like or approve of who/when the coach plays a player but then again we don't get paid the big bucks (yeah right) that they get to take the heat they take day in and day out on the decisions they make...........
Here is a novel idea: Maybe if you tell who you are UpnIn will do the same. I know he is a parent and that is all I am going to say on that one......
Gosh I miss all this flirting.......
