imagine they are trying to plan for the future. That is tough for seniors who have contributed. I'm surprised he was blind-sided, not sure why coaches wouldn't tell him of his situation going into tryouts or something.

What is a coaches duty when cutting a player that was on team previous year?

What where the conversations throughout the year?

i think the kid was completely blindsided and had no inclination until he saw

Yup, this is like getting fired without your boss even talking to you

When I was coaching, we would pull aside anyone who was even remotely considered

You sure you have the full story? Is your nephew really better than the other

what i know is he started every game when he was available. Worked hard. Played

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

What I don’t get is hs coaches “planning for the future” is odd

1984coug

I agree

Avery

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

I agree but I have seen some coaches take to this philosophy, example

Good life lesson for your nephew

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.

I will for sure

kevin malone

Seriously, we need more coaches like you. Thanks.

Thank you. It is definitely not easy, but the kids make it worth it

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

CaliWG

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.

what school cut him? Utah school?

Im not too worried about his ability to move on or the parenting he’s getting.

It definitely sucks for him and his parents, I understand.
