And for the record the two programs I spoke of are great programs with great coaches. And it's not necessarily the high school coaches I am speaking of that try to convince kids to stay back so that they will be more successful. I have been told by several ex players and parents alike that it does go on and starts in the youth league. And it is done as groups. All I'm saying is....if you hold back that's your decision. But you should lose a year of eligibility to make it fair. It's beyond one or two. My question is those programs that have several year in and out.

It happens in elementary school but a lot of these coaches in high school have a lot of say so and do a lot of convincing. But yes, I agree with the lose a year of eligibility if deemed that you were held back for sports only. But there is a fine line there were it's hard to determine if a kid was held back for this or that. Because they are required to go to a shrink and they have to sign off saying that they are not ready to move forward in their school. So I really don't see how this could be changed.
