its the second time, but different grade and in as many years, that I have heard that a LIE N team has been blown up a team, since they had one losing season. This time it's a North 2027 team from CT.
Also, a year ago, LIE N asked a coach to step down and the coach happens to be a legendary Ytown/Hop/USA player, that coaches HS too.
I have no direct experience with LIE N, but do they really cut ties to a whole group (players and/or coaches) who have one bad season, or is it a few sour grapes parents?
I suspect what you have heard, in terms of a team being "blown up" is a situation where a large number of families on one team are leaving - with many of the them probably going to the same place. This, as opposed to the organization itself getting rid of them. What happens in all travel sports is that once there is rumblings that so and so is leaving, and this kid is leaving, and the group from Town XYZ is leaving, everyone else heads for the hills as well. People will then say "the team blew up".
