IF the coach had said you've been away from the team, you're not in elite game shape, we'd like to put you on one of our other EC teams as you play your way back......that's one thing
telling her she's off his team because it projects a bad image is entirely another
A few things, it seems a lack of communication by both parties. Player has a baby, coach assumes she is not playing any longer as two months passed since they last talked/spoke.
She is a senior heading into her final travel year, as she wrapped up school ball in the fall and had not signed with a school. Her prior play might of got her a demotion from his team to another EC team to help get her the exposure she needs. Was that when things as were stated turned ugly? Nobody knows unless they were in the room. Typically his team is wrapped up in regards to college signees heading into their final summer of travel and he is focusing on those younger kids called up to get their process moving.
This story has been shared hundreds of times on FB and I keep seeing people toss out Jasmine Williams at Oregon having a child. But also fail to mention she opted out of the 2021 season. Oregon helped her in anyway she needed, not her travel ball organization. Oregon helped her the same way they would help a male who had a child during college.
I wish this young mom the very best and hope she is able to find a home and potentially a place to play after this summer if she is able to do so.
