Absolutely concur! This post could be seen under baseball, soccer, football or on any other board - just change the sport. Unfortunately, basketball is in a smaller, indoor, more confined area which exacerbates the problem. Sad we have come to this.....but, it is what it is..... As parents and coaches we must lead by example and try to be part of the solution.
