What where the conversations throughout the year?
If I take this at face value then I'd hope the coach would sit the kid down and have a good conversation with him. That sounds like it could have been just as tough on the coach. People sometimes forget that part of cutting a player.

Sounds like he got jobbed. That's really bad behavior by the coach even if other

yeah sad thing at that age is there is no recourse. Not going to transfer

It's especially tough on a kid where he has spent a good part of his young life

In Utah, you CAN'T transfer after trying out for a team. Crappy situation.

Seems lame to not bring a kid in and explain what is going on. I see this trend

Planning for the future is different in High School as well since the younger

I'd advice him to seek a meeting with the coach for an explanation. No parents, just him asking

Cuts are the hardest part of being a head coach at the high school level.

I respect the heck out of coaches that do this. Takes time but so appreciated.

Never heard of a coach cutting a player like this without disciplinary issues

Bad citizen. More trouble than he was worth to the coach.

That could be the case for some who get cut, but I don’t think it applies here.
