Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4236415, member: 10363"] Awards like these are meaningless IMO. No one can see enough players enough times to possibly have insight meaningful enough to judge. I was a pretty successful HS coach for over a decade at a Catholic school and the job entailed some recruiting. One of my criteria when looking at players was, if you are interested in individual awards, this is not the school, nor am I the coach, for you. I never cast a vote in my life for any all-anything team, I may be a lunatic about it but I just never saw the point of them, they just reward the people with the best stats. Very often, the player I thought was the most irreplaceable on my teams didn’t have stats that anyone would even notice; I always felt molding a TEAM that sacrificed and played for each other was the most rewarding part of coaching.
