WHY DO MOST HEAD COACHES AND MANAGERS TAKE A TEAM?

MORE PITCHING TIME FOR MOLLY?
MORE INFIELD TIME FOR SUSSY?

WHO KNOW SOME TEAMS OUT IN THE TRAVEL WORLD WITH BELOW AVG. PLAYERS WITH DADDY TAKING A TEAM??...THATS PISSING ME OFF!! DONT TAKE OVER A TEAM. MAKE YOUR KID BETTER INSTEAD OFF TAKING A TEAM AND BEING A DADDY ON A BUCKET...AND NOT COACHING A TEAM THE RIGHT WAY...


Maybe some, and maybe you've had a bad experience. On the other side of the coin, some parents cannot believe that coaches just do not see the brilliance in thier little molly, and tend to go after the coaches kid, who is already on an "Island"

Think of it in these terms, if Dads did not take teams starting in reqball..... there probably wouldn't be any teams, for all OUR little mollys to play on. Then it carries over into travel and some of these "dad" coaches end up being very good!

Just another perspective

Best (or) worst example of "daddy ball" for me was when I was talking to my DD coach in between games and I mentioned that Player "A" looked good at 2B. His response was "she's our best at 2B but with the two main coaches daughters playing second as well she won't see much time there". I was blown away until he said "that's how the food chain works and I don't coach for my health, I coach so my kid can get hers".

LMFAO, at least the Moron was honest.

For the record my kid is not involved.

Shiat...someone figured out the acronym! Now that is funny. My daughter plays for another, coach's have no kids on the team. I will say though, my kid has been on a travel team where the coaches had no daughters. but.... IT WAS LIKE THEY HAD FOUR OR FIVE. Daddy,mommy,buddy coachy favs....for whatever reason's. Grass isnt always greener!

My perspective... if the Manager, or one of the coaches has a kid on the team. Prob ok, you have a dugout full of dads.... peel rubber, weather one of them plays your kids spot or not. :mrgreen:

So, he is basically admitting that if she had to play for another coach, she would be picking up plenty of splinters(from the bench)????? Nice!!!!! :lol:

My DD is a catcher. The best one I have heard was when my DD's team was abruptly replacing their coach (who quit) with another. When we were talking to the new coach for the first time, he introduces his DD to us as the #1 catcher in California. Based on what we saw during a scrimmage between his then team and our team, we already had serious doubts about his coaching abilities prior to this conversation, he just sealed the deal. At least he told us how he really feels and saved us from having to find out the hard way.

EGO, or love for the game. His actions will tell the story.
