I was discussing with a junior coach this weekend about the current trend of elite high school basketball programs in NSW and how some rep players are choosing to not play reps because the coaching and competition in these schools are just as good or sometimes better than rep basketball. The academic load in these school also hinder some of these players from playing reps. Case in point, U19 Australian basketball representative, Daniel Hill of Newington College, has not played reps for the last 3 to 4 years and started on the world team.
The coach then told me that Basketball NSW had addressed this problem by stipulating that if you did not play representative basketball you could not try out for the state team. I did not believe him at first so I looked it up on the BNSW website. I found the following for the upcomming State U16's trials:

"These trials are open to BNSW registered athletes interested in vying for selection for the metropolitan
state teams born in either 1996 or 1997 who do not have a country residential address and are
representing an association in the Sydney Junior Championships."

I would like to pose a few questions and get some feed back.

1. Is this approach good for the game?

2. Is the coaching and competition in NSW at the high school level as good as or better than reps basketball or worse?

3. What is the approach of other States on this issue?

4. Is there a national apporoach on this issue?

5. What other forms of recognition is available to players who are not selected in reps or are not playing in a representative program?

6. Do you agree or disagree with the approach of BNSW or elite players not choosing to play reps?

7. What if a "Patty Mills" could not afford to play reps but just wanted to have a go and show up at the trials but was barred?

Your thoughts please.
