Makes me wonder at what point do we simply start telling kids that basketball may not be their sport and encourage them to find something else to be successful in. :rolleyes:

Middle school dude. Participation is a good thing.

My 7th grade team had 26 player when I played, cut 1 player because he didnt come to practice enough. At that time, we had to pay $50 athletic participation fee to play. You figure that out...

You see a pretty big drop off after that in 8th and higher. From that team IIRC, I think we had 2 players survive to my senior year on the varsity team, would of been more but the HC pissed off 2-3 of the best players so they quit. That was before the days of participation trophies so the 2nd and 3rd,4th and 5th team guys kinda figured it out for ourselves.

True, but even the pros miss this sometimes:
