These are All-Star teams,right? Coach to win, not to appease players or
parents with playing time. This is "best of the best" time, not regular season
Regular season, little Johnny's mom paid for him to play, therefore he should
get playing time. Nobody is forced to participate in all star tournaments. I
believe these coaches want to win, and they would play the best lineup to
win games. If little Johnny is the tenth-best player on the team, so be it.
Get him in when you can, but don't bump better players so Johnny doesn't
lose self-esteem.
P.S.
Yes, I understand that parents pay for all star teams, also. No need to
jump on me about that......
