re: What would you do with a son who doesn't want to play basketball anymore?

My suggestion is to make sure he finishes out the season then just don't mention it for a while, decent chance by the time next season rolls around he's ready to play again. If he's super young compared to those that are playing ahead of him maybe make sure he understands that his time will come to be on the court more

I absolutely would not force him to play, that won't end well
