[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DD should understand that the basketball is made up of players at different positions. The best player at each position plays. If your daughter is the shooting guard and not starting it is because there is a better shooting guard. She shouldn't compare herself to the girls in the other positions.

I mean, she can. She can work on defense and driving to try and start at the 3. She can work on her handle and try to get the start at the 1. DD's team basically has 2 positions- big and small. Even there, the bigs who can handle to ball often end up acting like a point guard and some times there are 5 smaller players on the court. Basketball is moving to a much more position less game, the kids who can play anywhere are usually better off and teams who have kids that can play multiple positions have an advantage. [/quote]

If you are the OP it seems you are the one who can't accept DD is not starting. She is not a preferred player, no one knows why but the coach. If she wants to start she needs to figure out what she is coming up short on. It could be her hussel, speed, ball handling, shooting. She may think she is better than some of the starting 5, and maybe she is at some things, but the coach feels she is not starting material. Another coach may feel differently. [/quote]
