YES! More softball crap to post...:)

The Allstar coach from last season is now coaching his daughter B in the Junior (13-14) age league I will call team T. The only other team is team R.

B's friend that caught on their team, K, was one of the best players in the league; best arm for sure. The girls were having a "spat" at the time of softball signups and tryouts, so K didn't tryout for softball.

According to the rules, she should be drawn out of a hat to see who gets the ones who don't show up for tryouts. It didn't happen like that.

Team R's coach is one of the coaches helping with the high school team. Since he wasn't there for tryouts, his assistant picked the team. The assistant picked two girls for the team that the coach had cut from the high school team, and for whatever reasons, those two girls chose to quit the LL team after the picking was done. Maybe cause it was the same coach who cut them? who knows?

That meant that team R was now down 2 of their top picks.

Team T, in the meantime, had another player decide to play and so called a board member to okay the deal and got it okayed to add this new signup. No one knew it was K from the all-star team. The girls had patched things up, and now Coach Allstar wanted her on his team. (or so they say)

Team R found out about this illegal transaction and demanded two players off team T to make up for losing their best players and to make the teams more equal. Team R got two players off team T: one of the best players off team R and one of their worst players.

Then, I am speculating that Allstar Coach must have thought he was short players, so now he has pulled a 12 yr old from one of the teams in MY league to play on his team. I looked it up, and it is legal for her to play in both leagues.

But, here's the deal. The 12 yr old is as big as a college player and can play like one as well. So Team R got a good player and a bad player so that team T could then pick a fabulous player to take their place? I am crying FOUL!

My best player on my team could have played up in that league if that was the case of being short players, then team R wouldn't have to take another crappy player. And my player would have the chance to play twice as much and practice twice as much and progress twice as fast.

Let alone that her dad is asst. coach of team R, and her sister is on that team, and they would have much preferred to have his own daughter who pitches than someone who can't play.

So, Allstar coach has pulled some pretty fast ones in his league so far, and it doesn't surprise me. The only thing is the Allstar coach isn't smart enough to come up with these ideas on his own. He doesn't know the rules well enough. I am wondering who is helping him . . . .?
