Wow, What a firestorm this is. FULL, I think the only thing I can agre with you about is that glorifying kids at an early age is not a good thing. I think what has been missed in this heated debate is that most parents want what is best for their kids and will do and say most anything to provide, in their eyes, the best future for their kids. I&#039;m talking about college scholarships. The reason that good male basketball players turn up at Trinity is they have a respected coach and a history of sending kids to D1 programs. If towns like Wilton, Greenwich or Darien really wanted to have a good boys basketball program then you know they have the ability to do so. You really only need 3 excellent players and 3 good players to field a good boys high school basketball team. Why don&#039;t these towns put the same effort into youth basketball as they do for lacrosse, soccer, swimming? College scholarships! Everyone knows it it much more difficult to land a D1 scholarship in basketball so these towns put all the effort into the areas they know they can dominate. If Trinty had the best football team in the state 2 years ago, you can be certaian that the quarterback from California would have ended up at Trinty and not New Canaan.
