I've been following this thread, and it amazes me that a coach posts about a team he's trying to fill and gets this kind of hate. Especially a coach like Bryan, who although I don't know him, I've heard many good things about him.
Should it have been posted in the tryouts section? Probably
Was posting all the college commitments a "hard sell"? Who cares, a coach can be proud of his track record.
Was saying the Super-duper-awesome Elite Academy league will be better than Boys ECNL a stretch? Yes.
But seriously, let the coach post on a public forum without harassment. Individual families can make their decision.
