"Parents, we live in a world that has children and those children need to be coached by men with clipboards. Who's going to do it? You? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your child's playing time and curse his position; you have the luxury of not knowing what I know - that your child's playing time, while minimal, wins games, and his position, while literally out in right field, wins games! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a parent who drops their kid off for me to coach and then questions the manner in which I coach him. I would rather you just said "Thank you". Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a clipboard and coach a team... Either way, I don't give a $#@% what you think your kid is entitled to!"

I can not read that without applying Jack Nicholson's voice to it.
