Killer, I always appreciate truth in advertising and "getting a story straight", so let me help you.
The assistant coach you mention that left my team, did so 2 years ago when his daughter aged out of my team; 18u kids rarely play on 16u teams. As I mentioned in the late night irate phone call you paid me, that was not the coach in question and you knew that. I also told you that my beef with you was contacting kids AT NATIONALS; you might think that is cool, most consider it garbage. Make all the calls you want on Monday after Nationals, but don't call kids in the middle of bracket play at ASA Nationals. I have had dozens of kids contact me thru the years about playing opportunities and my answer has always been the same; "great, I have your contact info and I'll be in touch after Nationals".
I have seen you do this same thing before and even watched you cause havoc on teams within your own organization by recruiting next years team before this year even starts. If you don't like being called out on this, don't do it. Pretty simple.
