[quote=Anonymous]Unless you’re an absolute standout (either for good or bad, and size and general athleticism can be included here as well as schools), than only two things will set you apart from the pack: knowing the coach (e.g. he knows you’re coachable and your parents aren’t nuts), or having a skillset which the coach happens to think would fit in well with the team he’s already mostly picked (e.g. if your kid is the third best ball handler at tryouts but the team already took the first and second best and now they want someone who can shoot three’s, so they pick the remaining kid who is best at that skill even though his overall game isn’t as good as your kid’s). Long story short, it isn’t necessarily nefarious or favoritism. It’s just that there are a lot of kids who are statistically indistinguishable from each other so some other factors come into play.[/quote]
