Who decides who plays Div 1?

Unfortunately it seems that some parents decide where they want their child to play, but the coach decides where they will play.
Unhappy parents should log onto www.pps4me.com
BTW -pps is short for pushy parent syndrome.
There may be a backlog of parents in denial at this site

Who decides which player is good enough for Div 1?
The head coach in consultation with previous season coaches and the coaching director.

Are parents the best people to coach Div 1 just because their child is a good player,what happens when that child goes up a grade should the coach go up as well?
In some cases yes. It depends on the coaches ability. The parent should not follow their child necessarily as players need different coaches to help their development. However, as coaches are volunteers this is not always possible.

Is it ok for a Div 1 coach to belittle players that are not in their team with sarcasim and derogatory comments?while all the time praising their team saying that they do it better all the time,or should they be looking towards the future/potential Div 1 players?
Coaches should try to concentrate on their teams development. Worrying about opposition players or referees takes away their focus from their teams performance.

If the Div 1 coach makes lower grade players quit should they be sacked from their position?
No coach makes a player quit basketball. The player has a decision to make whether to stay, move clubs or stop playing. In district basketball a division 1 coaches job is toto develop players for higher levels of elite basketball and win.

Do other clubs keep children up in Div 1 if they dont train?just because their parents may be on the committee.
Most clubs pick the best players regardless of who their parents are. I know of instances in the past where committee members children who train all the time didnt get into div 1 as they were not at the same standard as other players in the grade.
