There is definitely history and just to set the record straight the coach didn't allow all of his varsity starters to bat. Some don't ever get a chance to bat and some don't even get on the field and these are seniors. I mean hey, if you are a senior you should get your chance, right? You've paid your dues, you've waited for your time to come, you've done all of the fundraising, and your parents have transported you and your teammates all over the district. One would think if you are "good" enough to make the team as a senior, then you should be playing right? They didn't even have to try out to be on the team, they were all "so good". What kind of message does this coach send to his players? Sounds like he pits them against each othere before they even get started. But I guess when you are winning and beating teams by 19 you can do whatever you want at all cost. It really doesn't matter what kind of life lessons he is teaching these young ladies, the most important thing is that we win. After all everyone knows he runs a good program.
