[Number One Fan]

I've not met a coach yet who doesn't want to win or who doesn't pick the best players. Parents, I've noticed, like to blame the coaches as an excuse when their kid isn't as good as someone else.

Look, I am not a parent with a kid that plays any sports at this time. I did have a few years back. Decent player, got playing time. Let's get that perfectly clear. I have been a Middlesboro fan a many a year. Things have changed, kids don't want to play, they quit in the middle of the season, and I have watched the way certain players are handled. Middlesboro really does not have that much of a choice this year, but like I said earlier, Hale, Robbins, and Edwards are about as good as it is going to get and they are good. Shoffner did a decent job last night. But, you play to win with what you have, but if you were smart, you would have more of a bench with talking with these kids to get them to play.
