Boil it down and all I've read in this thread for the reasons come pretty close to "I'm not in charge and Cali is not being paid proper homage by being made to travel to God-forsaken Oklahoma."

Nonetheless, the organizers of the Gold National should pay attention because there might actually be things in there they could improve... such as using more fields to shorten the tournament.

I agree it definately rings of a Cali power move. So many east coast teams jumping on board though...

So thats why we need the coaches committee to make sure Ca does not barrell over the east coast in terms of whats beneficial to ASA as a whole. There may come a point when these teams just simply get let go and ASA move forward. What SoCal wants may not be best nationwide.

if there were ONLY ca teams on the list, my answer would be "let them go and rot". I have a lot of dealings with CA coaches and I know exactly how many are. One of the striking things of working in Georgia was being called "sir". I dont think CA coaches even know that word and I dont think I'd ever been called that by a coach before going to Georgia. Thats a indicitive of attitude and manners. Its much more than that, but you get the point.

Its not just CA teams though.. its most of the top from all the states..
