"Little" Butler as you call him would be the best junior coach in aussie at the moment. How do I know ? I have watched the guy coach my kid for the last 2 years in a program second to none. The way he relates to ALL kids and gets the best out of them talent wise, whilst teaching them the game is without peer in this state.

He sets the guidelines down for every one from day one and his attention to detail is the reason he and his teams achieve what they do. I know he gets real genuine enjoyment from seeing all the kids and parents interacting at tournaments and achieving the great results that the team does - that is a by product of the coaching programs the club run.

Unfortunately not all kids can get equal court time at this level. Ask the kids that do not and I think you will find that they are more than happy to play support roles with their mates. They are happy to be involved and go away and experience the mateship of the team. The guyz that do get the time do appreciate the support given from the "bench". The bond that is built between them and has been since under 10's is also an underlying factor to success.

Yes, It is hard to sit on the bench but more so for the parents who pay the costs money wise, but I can tell you that the bond these kids will have if they win a nationals in Tassie in september will be there 30 years down the track if and when they cross paths again.

People do not understand how hard these classic and nationals things are to win and how important the 8,9,10 player etc are to the team.

The kids all play their roles - lets just support the team and the coach and enjoy the ride. I know my kid wants to win back to back nationals and Scott would love his third.

i think it is wrong for junior coaches to poach players!! but if a player is unhappy at a club, whether it be because of the coaching side of things or connection with their team mates, then they should be free to decide where they want to play. my standing on the situation is that players at a junior player should not be brainwashed by coaches to play for thier team and promise them unreasonable expectations. players need to make their mind up where they will be happiest playing with out adult influence, espescially at U14 level and under. They dont need the extra pressure!! They need to enjoy the game.
