I know exactly where you're coming from - I'm the head coach of a 2nd/3rd grade football team. At this level, you have to take your lumps, and it SUCKS.
Alot of the BB leagues require balanced playing time, which means you're always going to have a kid or two on the floor that is a little wanting in the athletic ability area. Remember, these kids are generally more interested in the aftergame snack than the final score of the game.
Now, football is a different story. There are no rules about playing time in my league. I try to get every kid in the game on both O and D, but if you aren't one of the top four teams in the league, you don't get into the post season tournament - and that means the parents are paying for the OTHER teams post-season and I get to sit on my butt and have a beer. Next year, I'll be playing to win.
