Hey Bishop, my point was about raw talent on a high school team. I think high school is an overall environment, if that makes sense. Not just a 12-player team (like a travel team). So I think seniors do deserve some favor over freshman, for instance, just to put in place an order of orderly succession. And considerations like school grades, behavior, overall academic/sports environment come into play.
I know there's a huge gap of misunderstanding and distrust between travel and high school ball....I think in part because they are really trying to accomplish different goals but don't always realize it.
Interesting thread. It makes me wonder if I am alone in believing that girls will create drama even where no drama exists, and that in doing so, it actually prepares them better for life then if all of these situations were diffused by coaches/adults.
It seems to me that a better question to ask would be, "Where do we (coaches/parents) draw the line where bullying is concerned?". Do we expect all of our players to get along and respect each other while they play for us? Probably, but do those expectations continue off the field? Is creating a "cult of respect" amongst the team better for the girls then taking a more liberal view to how drama happens and the lessons learned from being subjected to it? I don't have good answers, but I'm curious as to what other people think.
