i looked at his instagram. He bragged about his Chantilly JV team beating Lewis like 80-8. That's so cringe. Let your bench start or play in that game at least. Why is the absolute biggest HS in FCPS even playing Lewis???


That's just sad. His team was one of the weakest teams in-district-lost almost all their games. (Maybe that's why he can't find the players he wants.) So I guess he's gotta brag about whatever wins they can get.

Did anyone go to the tryout last night? I'm just curious.

The tryout least night must not have produced what he was looking for. Insta shows that there will be another tryout Friday night. What gives.

It seems like he is the B team now because there are kids from the A team that aren't on Weinstein's team. No roster for the A team yet as far as Instagram goes.

Just saw the Weinstein roster on instagram, his kid isn't on there. It all keeps getting stranger.


Maybe its a different Weinsten, but there used to be a Weinstein who coached AAU whose son plays for Chantilly...

Weinstein's kid i believe goes to chantilly. He coached last year.


Seems odd, wonder if Bermudez took his kid? Or if he's playing with his dad...

Do these coaches really prioritize unskilled big guys over better players that might be smaller?


AAU coaches with son's who are the starting PG? Yes. Then they don't let the big guys shoot jumpers or dribble. They rarely take many guards, they don't want their own kid to have to share playtime or be worse than a bench guard.


I have seen this dynamic a LOT.

TRUE! That is why I am trying to learn more about the decision making process. I stayed for some of the first tryout, and it seemed like the youngest guy was running the show. Does anyone know anything about Byrnes or Weinstein? We know Bermudez has a kid on the team, do the other two?
