I guess the question is: So what? We’re told endlessly that these progranms aren’t about winning, but it’s clear that most of them are ego and financial projects for the coaches. How many of those players are better off for having spent the time and money on that travel team at an age where they probably should be developing many other aspects of their character? Travel is great, but these teams aren’t traveling for the benefits of travel. Hotels and sports fields are the virtually the same everywhere. We don’t know, but that high school coach may have very good reasons for rejecting the egotist’s methods. Or maybe not. But quoting a W-L record doesn’t prove anything.
