Not that this has happened, but take this from the "Bearer of Bad News" dept....
we know that all coaches desire pitching, enough said...
so....what if a coach knew about a girl, didn't necessarily offer a spot, but realized, upon conversation, that girl/parents (which, normally is the case) is looking to pitch elsewhere, because.... (pick one of the following reasons, albiet, know that there are many many more out there)
1--they are the 3rd string pitcher and wanted more time (now, in a perfect world this pitcher would "deserve" more time/but sometimes they are 3rd out of the dugout because their change-up hits the dirt before crossing the plate)
2--they were the stud for their community team and were looking for more competition/exposure
so, girl ends up leaving team, jumps ship.,...who is to blame? org for not keeping them happy, new org for making the suggestion and welcoming them with open arms?
there's other stories out there, just hunt around here a while and you'd find them...but some coaches have talent in spades during tryouts, some don't...I guess that's the chance you take on being a coach, whatever, but it is what it is....parents/coaches are always looking.(and don't forget to mention that girls sometimes play where they are accepted, you bring on a girls BFF, you just bought yourself an extra player)..you meet the right guy, you start talking, you play with said org suring an open week, yadda yadda yadda, you're plastered all over the OFC!
maybe I talk to too many people walking around during game breaks, but these kinds of things do happen....also, I am in no way condoning said behavior, or have recruited (statguys like me don't recruit) in this manner...just passing on the facts as I see em.
