[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of the "star" players complain and pull their kids off teams mid-season if their star isn't getting to play all or most of the game. The bench kids are there to subsidize and practice with the 5 starters.[/quote]

Dumb question: How do we know if our son will become one of the NoVA Cavs “star players” getting more play time than others? We watched a lot of talented players today at tryouts, with different strengths. Do parents ask before accepting and will we get a straight answer about how our son ranks compared to other guards? Of course, we know a lot factors go into the play time decisions and they change.

Our son played for another large NoVA team but ended up as a bencher due to daddy ball favoring the coach’s son and his friends. He played as well, if not better, than the favorites. It was such a waste of time for us as a family, and money, to watch our bencher sit out most of every game.  :cry: [/quote]
You are hurting your team and hurting the individual players limiting a kid to a certain position.  Positionless basketball is the best strategy for developing and to win if you have good players.  Your bigs need to know how to play small and your small guys need to know how to play big.  When I hear a coach say tell any player in the open court to pass the ball away, I cross that coach off the list of coaches for my kid.[/quote]
