Group team shots are absolute disasters.

First, it puts you at the mercy of any one kid or coach who gets pissed and decides not to show up, or forgets the time, date or place of the shot. You can only do it if your paper has enough local leverage to MAKE everybody show up.

Second, the staged group team shot is one of the most boring pieces of standard art in newspapers, prominently mentioned in every photography and design textbook in the "Don't Do This" chapter.

Good action shot of the Player of the Year. File mugs of the COY and the All-Area First Team.

Everyone else goes in lists.

If memory serves me, Chris Webber fucked over the Freep on his All-State photo... was supposed to show up for their super all-whatever team, never showed, never called. And Praise Jeebus Keener didn't help either....

We do coach and player together. It's usually a rather boring shot, but for basketball this year we went out to a local playground court just to do something different. Turned out OK.
