"It is a distressing reality of our culture, of the elite basketball culture, that the high school coach has increasingly been marginalized from the equation.  The guy who used to serve as a surrogate father, who might teach you algebra in the morning and ball-screen defense in the afternoon and how to be a man at all times, is often little more than a glorified baby sitter for the high-level prospect during the four-month high school season."

Praise to Norman Powell's Mom...
And yes, the basketball article is more correct than we can ever envision. I think it happens a lot in boys basketball and for girls, I imagine it happening most in Girls Volleyball. Some of these Travel Club Volleyball teams are spending as much money as the boys basketball.
