[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that the shorter girl is likely to grow more and get better with time and practice, whereas your daughter might have plateaued? Maybe the coach wants potential over experience.

Or maybe the kid had an emergency the day she was cut, the coach knows she wasn't at her best and so judged based upon what they saw before.[/quote]

OMG, are you saying that with a straight face? How does the coach know how tall is the shorter girl going to be? And what if the OP's DD grows even taller?

You probably know that I am messing with you because I really couldn't resist. But that hypothesis is hilarious. It goes along really well with the strong defense of whatever the coach decides being the right thing. Seriously speaking, the season is 2 months long and the coach needs the most experienced players on the court right now. They don't have the 7 month in the club season to develop the players. Plus, shanking 90% of the balls at U15 level hardly shows potential. You are also making assumptions about growth or plateauing without knowing any of the players, just to fit the narrative that the coach is always right. Would the coach figure out growth vs potential in 3 days of tryouts with 100 players? If the player showed potential, why did she get cut? Maybe the coach knew these two players prior to the tryouts and could tell that the less skillful one had potential, while the better player plateaued? Why was the better player kept until the last round of cuts? Let's see how you turn yourself into a pretzel now... [/quote]
