Its a lose / lose situation. I am not saying its right but its a pr!ck of a call to make as a coach isnt it. Even harder if you dont have any cattle to bring from the B grade side
You wear it as a coach i say coz first of all if the players aint training they aint their for the real reasons are they? and the committee should understand where the coach is coming from if they are dropped to the B's because of their inability to stick to, i'd call it a TEAM RULE.
Its something a coach doesn't really want to do i understand that but these experienced players are players you need on the track setting an example to the young up & coming, if they can't do that tough decisions have to be made as its harming the development of these kids coming through, no pain go gain.
The blame for any loss because of being dropped for not training shouldn't come back to the coach as he & the rest of the players know the TEAM-RULES put in place at the start of the year, the coach should be commended for standing strong.
The player himself should be taking the blame as he's letting down his team-mates, coach, club & supporters.
BUT HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU SEE A PLAYER TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY BACAUSE OF FAILURE?
