[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teams are already formed from the previous season. Anyone who says anything differently doesn't know how it works. Tryouts are just a formality. [/quote] Yes and No. Some (AAU basketball) organizations hold tryouts to form a 2nd or 3rd team. It may be a money grab or perhaps the organization finds a new coach who wants to form a new team around his son. This situation happened to us last fall. We thought DS was to be placed on the existing team because he was invited to team practices after several tryouts and played very well with the team, in fact a better player and shooter than the coach's son! But coach decided he had "too many guards" and wanted DS to move to the new team of less experienced players, as PG. Coach recruited a few other equally-skilled and experienced AAU players but basically he pulled a bait & switch on them and our DC. All declined the offers for the new team.[/quote]
