[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't that surprising. In the winter of 2020-21, when the decision not to play basketball was made it caused a huge rift in the organization. Lots of the more organized directors left (along with coaches) and the organization has been a walking disaster since. The replacements have been very much driven by the old school political correctness which has transformed into "equity."

Two other tidbits:
1) The 7th and 8th grade teams are basically set. There was no announcements of open gyms for those grades unlike the 5th and 6th grade. Take that for what you will.

2) At least on the boy's side, unless your kid is really tall, he better play Arlington Storm baseball because both Storm and ATB are heavily intertwined with each other. Lots of hand shake deals to get kids on ATB from Storm baseball for boys that have no earthly right to be on the ATB team. And this is coming from a parent that has had 2 sons play or are playing in ATB right now. I would have done almost anything to get them out of this environment but Arlington kids are ineligible from playing on other Fairfax team.

As for coaching with the assumption everything stays the same. The 5th grade A coach is very good. Can really develop talent. 5B coaches are okay. The 6A coach is terrible. He's probably worse than his dad who got fired as HC from Georgetown. The 7A coach is okay nothing to write home about. Seems to always get inside his own head. I'm assuming the 7B coach will move up to 8B because that's the only way his kid (and a couple of his friends) will make the team. He is the epitome of a Dad coach. 8A coach is decent and can build for HS. [/quote]

So is this basically Cyclones basketball 2.0? How disappointing[/quote]
