Basketball...

We won our first game last Thursday... it was a pretty good game too - except that the coaches put in three 6th graders and never pulled them out so the upper classmen hardly got to play! I am SO PISSED at how the season is going so far... then - last night - the 2nd game of the season and they only play Bubba 2 quarters of the "B" game. So, of course - he thinks he is going to get to play in the "A" game... WRONG!! Not ONE SECOND!!! He came home in TEARS and now he wants to QUIT! I could understand if we were going for something like a state championship or something... I mean - I realize that those 6th graders are good... one of them IS a better player than Bubba - the other two are NOT though!... AND - this is MIDDLE SCHOOL!! This is were they learn to play - and you don't learn to play by sitting on the bench!!! Bubba is planning on talking to the head coach today at practice... and then we shall see... something had better change - or they are going to have a lot of ticked off parents!

UPDATE:
One of the coaches basicly told Bubba that he hasn't been playing because he was not making it to Saturday morning practices... Well - in KS they can not make weekend practices mandatory for middle school and there can not be any punishment... since Bubba has been going deer hunting every Saturday he has not made it to the practices... *sigh* not sure what to do with that one...

That's really crappy. I hope he gets more time next time. At that age I think they all just need time on the court to get the practice and experience.
