Message: [QUOTE="PAHuskeyFan, post: 3266144, member: 7880"] In an effort to "change the story"... A "lifetime ago", I was assistant coach of Little League (10 & Under) Baseball Team. After 2nd game of the season, the Head Coach walked away from the team for personal/family reasons. I was left to manage the team the rest of the season. We had 13 Players... One was a girl. Everyone seemed to agree that our starting 9 players were the right ones. The concern came when I started inserting subs so that all got to play. More times than not, the 1st sub was the girl, Jill. And then over the next couple innings the others got in to play. After one game (a win, when everyone played 2 or more innings), the 3 boy subs parents approached me... they "complained" that I put Jill in before their sons...that I was wrong and their kids were better than her. I calmly responded that Jill worked harder in practice, she responded better to coaching, and that I was doing what I thought best for the Team...and that their sons would always get in the game. I probably even offered them the chance to take over the Team if they wanted. The parents had no response. BTW, Jill eventually turned to softball where she was a starter on the local HS Team for 4 years, and an All Metro DC Area All Star for 3 years as shortstop and went on to play in college. As I said before... SAD how this thread went from "unhappy mom tweet", to BFFs NOT BFs anymore, to comparing who was better at UCONN. :rolleyes: I really [B]can not wait till we can get back to the threads about[/B] (1) Westbrook's waiver, (2) 5th Starter? (3) 13th consecutive Final Four chances, (4) how off base Charlie Creme's rankings are. (5) Who is Paige going to bring into UCONN with her? (6) etc, etc, etc.... :););) [/QUOTE]
