I think you are missing the point to my posting. As a parent in the world of social media and the means to have information immediately available to you. Everyone on here posts info for the rest of the softball community to see in a discreet manner so your player does not suffer any consequences of your actions. If I was new to the softball world and a parent had factual information regarding a coach, I would hope that info would be readily available. I understand completely, Birch was an amazing coach, she has coached for many years, although the past season did not end well. The team did great, took 3rd in their league. That is not my point. She made inappropriate comments and gestures to many of the players that had her removed from the program. If she was that great of a coach and mentor her tenure should have made that situation go away. Her history and reputation should have allowed for her to keep her job. But it didn't. The proof was so great that she was asked to resign. As a parent, knowing this info and then seeing, right after she was asked to resign, a posting for her tryouts with 10 year old girls, I thought I should share my findings.
