What would you do with a son who doesn't want to play basketball anymore?

Back in my day we had this thing called a belt. But I guess parents these days don’t know about that since I see so many sagging pants around

Spray him in the face with a hose

Why not make him get an after school job if you’re worried about idle time

if he isn't cracking the top 5 at his school then work is probably a more productive use of his time.

He sounds spoiled. He won’t be on the team if he’s not a star?

What if everyone but the starting 5 followed this path?

What year is he?

I’m sure forcing him to play will work out great.

I didn't force my son to keep playing baseball, even though I love it. He wound up playing other sports and didn't even die one time.

I did tell him that I wanted him to play one sport each season, or be involved in some extra-curricular activity each semester. He choose football after baseball.

let him pick. he will respect the hell outta you for supporting him. he'd likely resent you and baseball If you forced him to keep playing.

Letting him quit when things aren’t going his way isn’t a good idea.

Force his arse. He definitely won't resent you for forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do.
