[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go see their first tournament game this weekend. There will be kids on the team you will also see at the tryouts. The more info the better.[/quote]

Sat Feb 26th at 11:30 at Liberty MS. Vienna/Nova Cavs coach is the 4 seed vs. the 5 seed team.

If he's such a great coach, I wonder why he's coaching the Vienna D2 team instead of their better D1 team.........[/quote]

I went to watch it and was so impressed with the other team’s commitment to play all ten of their players.  I’m not sure I saw him make more than one substitution.  He won by 2 points though.  The other team had a couple of good little players but they all played and subbed out for some time.  This is what’s right when you are impacting the confidence of 10 year olds.  Kudos to a good game played by all.[/quote]

This is travel basketball, not rec.  Usually, there will be 8 or 9 players on rotation with the close game they had.  The Nova coach played at least 10 players today with 2 Dnp.[/quote]

2 DNPs in a FCYBL game?  Didn’t the coach pick the players?  Unless it’s for some weird disciplinary reason, that’s a bad look.  Feel bad for the kids if this is accurate. [/quote]

This. FCBYL is supposed to be travel light. Every kid on a roster should play, if they aren't good enough to play, then they aren't good enough to roster. This isn't the finals of some national tournament where the coach shortening the bench is understandable, this is 5th grade local ball. [/quote]

No but it is playoff time in what's supposed to be a very competitive basketball league.  While I think playing time should be given out reasonably during the regular season, I think it's perfectly acceptable come playoff time for teams to try to win.  Players are told they are joining a competitive team/league so it's to be somewhat expected.  Not to mention if player hasn't been putting in time/effort of other players during the season.  Playoffs to me seem like right time to play to win and play the kids that have earned the minutes.
