Nothing worthwhile comes easy! Sounds like the coach is teaching your son what hard work can do. This lesson will hopefully pay off in the long run, even if he does not want to play after high school. If you want him to play for a good basketball program, he will have to work a little harder than he did in elementary school.

If all the practicing is keeping him from his studies, he may need to rethink his commitment to the team, because academics comes first. I'd say most likely the extra practice is keeping him from his girlfriend and his Playstation 3. Actually, probably a blessing in disguise.

As for you having to answer for everyone of your posts. You should read what you write and cut down on the *************'s, you are just asking for people to criticize what you say.

Why should I cut down on the *****'s as you put it? Is everyone on here a saint? If anybody says they don't cuss or rather have never said a cuss word they are full of, you know, ****. I know all that you say is true, about the practices and all that, I have done this for many, many years, I do have other children who have played before. I just wish they would get a break every now and then. And sometimes the coach will tell them he won't practice them if they do this or that but then go back on his word and practice anyway. So whats that teaching them? That its okay to lie. As I said before I'm glad he is playing, it keeps him out of trouble he could possibly get into, but sometimes you just have to ***** about things. He knows his academics are first and he does okay with that, but I won't buy him a playstation, those things are a waste of money. :howdy:
