sidenet, obviously, you and I are using different dictionaries. Now, I am more than happy to admit if I am ever, I mean, when I’m wrong, but here are your quotes on the subject. The ONLY place you say you’ve SEEN him is PART of ONE sentence, where you also say, “From what I’ve heard…” The other quotes refer to OTHER people seeing or talking about him. Sorry, but in my book, that ain’t “clearly” nuthin.
“ From what I've heard , he has ONLY played on his father's teams from YMCA to present and no ODP. Who knows, but is does sound suspect. I wonder if the AD is aware?”
“As far as recruiting his own son, who is described as "average at best" by players and coaches that know him, really a D2/3 player, the word that comes to my mind is Nepotism. Berson has no shame nor self-awareness in this matter. Maybe his son wants to be a soccer coach when he grows up... Taking a spot away from a deserving d-1 player so a relative can "sit" is shameless!”
“I'm not sure that anyone has questions about Cates, Powers, or Lynch's abilities. The question in mind is, would the Berson kid have made the team if his daddy wern't the coach? From what I've heard and seen the answer is no, not by a long shot (anyone know different). Is this OK or not? Other coaches have recruited their children from time to time...most of the fore-mentioned were viable recruits though and I guess if your kid can't make another team then, what the heck, it is your team and you can do what you will.”
And, for the record, I wasn’t picking on just you for making assumptions, I was throwing you in with the rest of the ass
umers.
