[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds horrible but in that area, it’s because Asian parents rarely volunteer but they want to sign their kids up to play. They will sometimes volunteer for school activities that directly benefit their own child but almost never fr sports. So in Chantilly, 50% of your potential coaches will never volunteer. That’s why there are at least three parents in every age group who coach soccer, baseball, and basketball.[/quote]
Bingo! That’s pretty much what I was getting at but didn’t want to call out any specific group. [/quote]

Recent Asian immigrant parents may have English language issues that hold them back. Not all, but could be more than you realize depending on where you are.[/quote]
not only that, they may have absolutely 0 knowledge of the sport.  Don’t worry about them, just do as much as YOU can.[/quote]

Don't stereotype.
300 million people play basketball in China- it is their national sport. It is growing in other Asian nations. [/quote]

There are some AMAZING players in China, but to be fair, most of the Chinese adults that I see playing in the US are terrible --- there are a bunch of guys near us who play pick up together occasionally at the park near us,  and, while I admire their willingness to get out there, it's a strikingly different looking game than when the regular guys play (most of whom have been playing since childhood and many of whom recently played in college).[/quote]

No, there's been only ONE, not some, good player out of China, who happens to be 7-5 with parents who're national level athletes.

That's one out of two billion people. So please one exception doesn't become the norm.[/quote]
