That's part of it. The other is in regard to upward mobility. Guys don't want to keep doing middle school, freshman, and junior varsity games year after year.

In many cases, it's warranted, they're not ready to move up, but in other cases it's politics, or observation/evaluation/rating/promotion procedures that may need some tweaking.

We revamped our observation/evaluation/rating/promotion procedures a few years ago and we're seeing more guys "stick it out". They can see a path to varsity games with fewer obstacles than in the past.
