Nice post Mike - A coach is responsible for the entire team based on the talent they have in given year. Will - some kids may not come back the next year if they 0-2 in every tournament. You and I attended some spring/summer tournaments and local kids had the opportunity in their back yard to compete against (some of the best) guys in the region and we had questionable attendance at those events. There was no highschool AD or Coaches making the kids/parents schedules.
