I'm 5'9', know most the plays, and make most shots I shoot, but I still dont get to start! The person that jumps is shorter than me, doesnt know some of the plays, and, lol, is WAY to nice, I mean, being nice is a good thing, but she just gets pushed around! Is it fair???

it isnt fair, but it is. maybe there is some areas she excells in, and others u excel in. she may get the team a good start, but u may be the one who gives the team the strong finish. if this doesnt help, try talking to your caoch.

well it doesnt sound fair...but it cannt b unfair either...there has to b a reason...mayB she hustles more than you...or does some of the little things more and the coach likes that... talk to your coach and ask what you can improve on so you can start...and since your the tallest one on ur team you should have a good chance at starting as long as you talk to him, listen to him, and then improve on what he tells you too

Here's the real question, because you remind me of myself tallest person, I know all the plays but I do start so in a way you don't. Do you think its fair you're not giving this girl a chance? I think your coach is trying to get her out of the nice phase. Do you play at all? If so you should be thinking about why some people don't get to play AT ALL and helping them get a chance to play. Because I've learned its a team experience its not whether you start or not, but its whether you help your team win even if that means you don't play at all. I was captain of my team and that's what I got out of it. I don't play basketball anymore its my 9Th grade year I tore my ACL in my 8Th and I don't want to go through that pain, so just play your game don't worry about starting.

if everything uve said is true then its simple, NO, this is not fair, i think u should talk to ur coach about this. Just talk to him/her in a calm manner so that u dont upset them. Also its not who starts the game, as long as u finish the game when its a tight finish.

I obviously haven't seen you or the rest of your team play. But be patient and keep working hard. Maybe the coach feels that you haven't reached your potential yet and by starting you it might slow down your progress. Or maybe the coach wants someone experienced coming off the bench. Just keep working as hard as you can and improving and hopefully you'll earn your starting spot.

No one said life is "fair". If it's a problem with your coach, I suggest that you speak to him/her about it and see if there is anything you can do about getting playing time.

well, it kinda is fair, cause if you can't get your shots in and the shorter player can and passes the ball to the open girls, then you need to work on your game I know I did I'm a good dribbler and crosser but when it comes to 3 pointers... anyways work on ur game and then show them that you deserve to start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you put more effort in trying to make the line then work hard and when the coach see this he/she will definitely put you as guard or something.
