Next thing you know, we will be sued for making a call, giving a T, disallowing a game winning basket, etc...
Player's parent sues coach Logan's Chong is hit with a $1.5 million suit for sending Rubin to JVs Sports digest TIMES WIRE SERVICES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNION CITY -- The father of a James Logan High School sophomore seeks $1.5 million in damages and the dismissal of the school's basketball coach after his son didn't make the varsity. Lynn Rubin sued the New Haven Unified School District on Nov. 27 because his son, Jawaan, was told to return to the junior varsity after being asked to try out for varsity. The family had rearranged its schedules to accommodate the varsity team's practice times, the suit said. Coach Blake Chong, who cited a policy limiting sophomores to JV when he cut Jawaan Rubin, didn't consult with the parents before cutting their son, according to the suit. After Jawaan confronted Chong about the decision, he was dropped from the JV team, the suit said. Chong refused comment Monday. Rubin's older son, Janou, starred under Chong at James Logan and is a sophomore guard at UCLA. The father said he calculated the damages based on potential wages lost from his son's possible pro career.

Next thing you know, we'll have to "consult the parents" before we call a kid for travelling - it could hurt his feelings, you know.
If the kid isn't good enough to make varsity, he's not going to have a chance in the pros.

 I guess but he was still probably better than 99% of the population. Made him a better basketball player, too.
