No, it doesn't only work when I want it to. I'm saying that some kids committed to a team in MAY, then tried out for a team the following JANUARY/FEBRUARY. Which committment came first?
I'm also suggesting that going to play in an event against some of the better teams in the country may be a little more beneficial than playing in a preseason high school tournament.
By the way, didn't some of these players show their commitment by completing their punishment before going on this trip? I'll save the stupidity of that for a different conversation.
