I know we have boring JV games (or what mostly are called sophomore games here). The better players are moved up and not playing those games in the first place. And that includes the bigger schools. Even the fans are not into the game other than the parents of the players.

Peace

When my children are older and are playing basketball, I might not even sit by other parents. If the parents of my kids' teammates are as dumb as the people currently in the stands, I won't be able to take it. I probably won't be able to bite my tongue either.

On the flip side, I really hope I end up having the patience to teach the idiot parents in the stands the rules of the game and how/why things happen out there.

Several times a year I find JV games can be far more taxing on my body than varsity games. Unless we have a different idea of what JV is or your schools tend to be small and JV isn't very good. There are some 5A+ schools around here where the JV has all the athleticism of varsity, but very immature in their fundamentals. Far more running with turnovers and well run presses.

My most memorable game of the year was two top tier 5A rivalry schools going at it. In hind sight I was extremely happy to get the JV game and not the varsity. The varsity crew all wished they were on our game instead --they had a boring blowout. Probably the most I've run all year in a game.
