I frequently see this attitude by coaches in football on the HS level, treating everything pre-HS as if it's just prep for later interscholastic play. Meanwhile those who coach at lower levels point out that if most of the players will never play on a HS team, it makes more sense to coach them for the level they are playing at. College coaches don't treat interscholastic play as just prep for college.

At the rate participation in HS basketball is going, lot of schools around here can't afford to drop any kids off that start on the lower levels . Especially on the girls side.
