Lisbon’s youth basketball scene has been rocked by claims of favoritism and unfair team-building, leaving many local kids discouraged and embarrassed. Over three years, the program cycled through nearly a dozen coaches, while a qualified dad was repeatedly denied a chance to coach. Meanwhile, one parent allegedly paid for private training and stacked a team with top players, creating lopsided games and crushing losses for others. The emotional toll pushed some kids to quit mid-season. It’s raising tough questions: Are adults putting their own interests above the kids? How should youth sports be run to keep things fair and fun for everyone? #Relationships #LisbonOhio #YouthSports
