me personally, I wouldn't mind it if a team had to pick up players but make it known. Then, at least you get the facts out and your team gets good in work in "sorta" playing up, a win-win IMO. With filling indoor rosters being hard to do with "winter" conflicts like bball, vball, swimming, and whatever it seems unavoidable for some teams. Just be open and I'd bet many wouldn't even care. Sorry to hear that this type of stuff may have occurred when in many ways could have been avoided and the experience all for the better.
