If he was better I'm going to say he would have gotten a chance. Coaches want to win! Why don't parents/whoever don't understand that? It's a sad fact but there are going to be some kids that put their heart and soul into a sport but just don't have it, playing time is not for everybody. It's about being part of the team and being part of something for bigger than ones self, learn and teach life lessons instead of blaming your child's lack of ability on others. It's about the team. It's comical how parents think they know who can play and who can't sometimes, do you tell your doctor what to diagnose? Your priest what to preach? What makes parents think they know better than the coach? What makes parents think they know more about what's going on than the guys that dedicate every waking minute of their life to a sport? It's absurd.

It's absurd to think if a lineman can get a hand on his block before he gets by him that he deserves to keep his spot. From anyone's viewpoint, coach or parent.
