Same here #1, that is what can kill interest.

Look no further than the Pikeville roster for proof of that. It is what concerns me. Look at the freshman class number. Not trying to be a stick stirring a pot, just pointing out the truth. And yes, I do have a son playing at the junior high level, so I see the effect of decisions like that scenario #1 Blackcat points out. 5 freshmen. That coincides with the change in junior high coaches there. I normally try to stay out of things like this because I have personally seen what happens when you try to point things out like this to coaches. They need to see the big picture and that they should be instructors of the game and develop kids for the high school programs, as well as shoring up confidence in skill sets by giving kids chances rather than relying in a select number. High school programs suffer from decisions like the original rant, and safety of kids is compromised as well.
