Sure it matters. But what matters more is playing team basketball and winning games. Ally worked her tail off to get back and help this team. She makes everyone better. Not everything she does shows up in the box score. Like someone said it’s not the 3rd Qtr MVP. Time for everyone to put their egos aside or the season will be over fast.

 

Everything you are saying is true. Ally has worked hard to get back. And you are right, any team that gets a player of her caliber back in their lineup is bound to be better for it. And I agree 1000% that they must play TEAM BASKETBALL. Again, as I've said before, practically everyone on here knows who I am, and I'll say one thing I know for sure, my daughter could care less about these all tourney, MVP's or whatever awards right now. She has enough hardware to melt down and and make a statue of something lol..she already has her future commitment set. Her focus is on winning and getting to the State Tournament for the final time in her high school career. I'm pretty sure if you asked Ally she would say the same. I think that sometimes the parents ( me too at times) put more emphasis on individual achievements than the kids do. Every parent is proud to see their kid be recognized for their achievements, but some in their zeal to have their kid succeed and get awards and what not, they forget to teach them that they are part of a team and its teamwork that wins championships. My favorite quote is, " Its amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit".

Love you quote, I have used it during my coaching career!
