    I don't think there is a second tryout since the qualified players are being posted at the oba website now. When I looked at their names, I realized that the majority are either from Lee's presently and previously. If Lee's are really that good in producing good players, why did they leave? And why did the coaches from Lee's left one by one? Anyone from Lee's can tell us the reasons?

    I'm from Lee's but I quit on December. Yes, Lee's is good at producing good players but now the coaches they have are not as good. The coaches left from Lees one by one because of:
    -The way the head coach was treating the coaches.
    -One coach was kicked out for "making jokes" and raising his voice
    -Another coach was kicked out for "dissing the head coach"

    I quit because a large amount of adults and kids (who are crappy) hog the courts and I get 30 minutes of playing time every hour I go. They have less courts now and their fitness room is extremely messy (I usually go at the end of the day).
