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

I totally get that; however, it’s not like he signed a contract or will “let the team down” (from what it sounds like), so who's the injured party here, you?

We’ll considering I’m not the dad I’m not the injured party.
But the ones let down really are the coaches and players. Just because he’s not playing in games does not mean he’s not contributing. He still is important to the team for practice and drills. They need bodies for that. He did make a commitment to the other players and coaches that he will be there helping along the way.
You need to sign a contract to hold to your commitment? Remind me never to do business with you.
Secondly, what if a player gets hurt down the stretch and they could have used him. Well now he’s not there and the team is in even bigger of a problem because he quit on them. You don’t think depth is important?
You obviously have never really understood sports or played sports at a high level have you? Let me help you out. Every players/person matters. Especially when shite hits the fan.
