[PIRATESCOACH]

What's wrong with sending a kid to a smaller school such as Cumberland or Union? That's a success in my opinion. You want everyone to go to D-1 and that's great, but you can't limit yourself and consider sending a kid to an NAIA school a failure. You do realize that holding a kid back is not mandatory don't you? It's a parental/player decision. So if you're telling me that there are absolutely no students/athletes at the school you follow or coach at that's been held back, in any level, you're crazy.

1) Nothing wrong with playing at an NAIA school at all, in fact, IT'S GREAT. However, we all know that the kids were not held back by their parents to play NAIA sports.
2) The basic question I ask is - Why hold the CHILD back for sports purposes only?
3) Yes, my team of 55 players does have two hold backs. One FAILED first grade and the second player FAILED second grade.
4) I am finished with this thread on this final note. It is LEGAL to hold a child back for sports purposes but does anyone on this board believe that the parent goes to the school board and says, "Hey, I want to hold by child back for sports purposes."
I bet not.
