[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm coaching rec basketball so I get the spreadsheet with all the kids and their "special requests." You aren't supposed to request specific teams or pairings because it makes it hard for us coaches to draft fair, equal teams. About 2/3 of Crossfield families ignore that and put in requests to only be on a team with other Crossfield girls, or with specific girls.  Every other school got the message and maybe only 10% of them put in those kids of comments.
FYI, we will not be honoring their requests.  Kids get drafted wherever they end up based on evaluations.  We also keep evaluations from the end of last year so we can tell when you instruct your kid to tank during tryouts to be picked up in a later round and get a better team.  If you want that kind of competition play county or AAU.  Rec is not the place for that.  
Sorry to ramble, but that goes to show how out of whack the sports bias is for Crossfield compared to other schools in the area.[/quote]

My kids play CYA rec basketball and ALL the teams are like this. Every year, several of the teams have the same core group of kids. Usually coach, assistant coach, and a couple of their friends that get drafted first. It's not just one school.[/quote]

Obviously the coach and assistant coach will have their kids on their teams. At least we grade the kids and make them take their own kids in the round they would have been picked.  I'm telling you my CYA spreadsheet has 12/20 Crossfield kids with special requests to be on other Crossfield kids' teams, while no other school has more than 2 special requests except Poplar Tree at 6/21 kids having those requests.[/quote]

This is a lot of private, specific,  identifiable information you are posting online to a widely read public message board about other people's minor children.

Surely that information is confidential.

You should not be a coach if you are so loose with the information of children in your league.[/quote]

None of the PP's here.  But, that is not personal information under any circumstances.[/quote]
Must be a Crossfield parent upset at being called out.  That was all statistics, none of it "private, specific, or identifiable."  Just hysterics in a feeble attempt to gain the moral high ground.[/quote]

This.  If there were only one Crossfield player on any of the teams, it would be personal.  From the explanation given, it is far from personal information.  
Irony, some parents may not want their kids together and does not know they are being set up.  Like the parent who always wants someone else to drive.[/quote]
