[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I was friends with the person who passed and not as close to the surviving spouse.
There are only x spots. It's not like other people just join a new team. 
My DH agrees with you all, and I do too, I get it. The issue is, he's not the final arbiter. He isn't the league manager. But he has a say and is now kind of caught trying to make a case for this.
Death was sudden and the "coachable" complaints long predate anything happening.

If your DH isn’t the arbiter, he can give the league manager his input and then whatever happens his conscience is clear. Obviously he can make the league manager aware of her personal situation, but if the kid has long been seen as difficult and uncoachable the league manager might not be swayed. Does your DH know whether this sport is something that she loves, is she super close to her teammates, is she a lot less skilled vs. someone that would have just come up short in making the team? All of these things would be relevant for him to argue for her to get a spot (or if the answer to all these things is no, he can see why the league manager may not want keep her out of pity).[/quote]
