HS Coaches Getting Away With Murder

[sftballfam]

First off I am and will always be involved with what my children are doing and how they are treated until adulthood. Having said that, I let them take care of there own issues until them and I feel it's time to step in.

Foul language, berating kids, coaches acting like A-holes, see it in travelball just about every weekend.

Speaking of screaming and yelling. Great coach, not for the faint of heart.

I don't know about nowadays but back when he had his first group (now college sophomores), he seemed to always find kids that were of like mind.....tough as he and Nick were.

It's the only time I can remember being intimidated by 10 year olds.

To this day I still don't make direct eye contact with Dre Harrison.

At our school most of the girls have player agents working behind the scenes to secure playing time. They are Mom, Dad or both. It works just fine. Go to the coach...tell him your DD isn't getting a chance to prove herself...wa-la she's in. It helps if you start sending her TB resume in starting about the seventh grade. Do you really think that the freshman playing on top HS teams just showed up without their resumes.

Ha, well at our school forget TB resume,just show up with your rec. ball resume from where he was a rec coach. Our coach plays kids that have not played ball since 10U and leaves TB kids and ones that are going off to college next year to play at the college level sitting on the bench.

Before you all say anything,yes mine is one of them sitting the pine.

GEEZ! I can't wait for my daughter's freshman year, next year. It kind of reminds me of all the hoopla before the 2000 new year. Computers were going to crash, the world was going to end as we knew it, etc...............

I can't wait As long as she enjoys it, I will force myself to enjoy it, for her. Who knows, it might not be as bad as alot of people say it is. Atleast I hope not!

I am on my second stint as a Varsity HS coach. Life is good, girls are having fun, no parent drama, coaches work together, team is off to a great start. HS ball just aint that hard.
Why is it that the tasks that just arent that big of a deal seem to be monumental tasks for some of the people running teams.

Make your life easy coaches, stop making stupid rules, play the best players (even if they are Freshman) treat all the kids the same, let parents know from day one you are the boss, teach the kids the game, be consistent and have some fun.
