[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on previous poster.  I have 3 very athletic kids in DC who have been on  years and years of school and travel teams in 3 sports and on almost every roster there have been kids chosen for political and/or social reasons over kids who are objectively more talented.  I mean, welcome to sports in DC.   It's a rare roster that doesn't ha r some element of this on it and it gets worse the higher you go in youth sports.  You're naive if you don't think so or don't see it.  [/quote]

Yahtzee. Quite typical in AAU world where the coaches son is usually on the team. Basketball is a different type of beast from other sports.[/quote]

I’ve literally never heard of an AAU team that had a coach’s kid on it.  All the AAU teams my son played on were coached by high school coaches whose main job was basketball coach.   Most were single or had very young kids.  Coaches were far too concerned about keeping sponsors happy to mess with family nonsense.  [/quote]

Clearly you haven’t played on a D1 team. Please look at Team Durant, Takeover, and evening PYBL. Not to say every team has a coach son combo but it’s pretty common. Just ask [/quote]
