Some bad analogies here in my mind ... as Klump and TEA have said, the difference is pretty much never between sisters of the poor and the national team ... but I also don't like the analogy to LeBron ... in his case, most agree that the issue was how he did it, not that he did it.
I think most everyone also agrees also that team-changing shouldn't happen mid-season with very rare exception. It is unfortunate that so many players make changes during the tryout process sometimes based on false promises, but at least that's the right time to do it. What I have an issue with is coaches sniffing around and proactively talking to players and families while they're still playing with their current teams in June and July. If the parents/players seek the coach out, that's another issue, though I'd highly recommend that be done on the QT and not be blatantly obvious to teammates and their families, or else you really risk destroying team chemistry. Coaches, if you have any class at all, stay away until their season is over!
