When do you have a "talk" with your child's Coach?

This is what is wrong with coaches sometimes. You're coaching middle school baseball. Let the 3rd and 4th stringers have some playing time if you're killing the other team. Give them a little something. I mean, if they are at practices and giving their best effort then they should get a little reward now and then.

If you are slaughtering, being slaughtered or otherwise playing in an irrelevant game and you play your starters the whole time you’re just a dick.

I'm on the fence with this as well. Maybe the coach has given up on your kid and he has a chance to develop the players he's going to keep next year that much more instead of throwing your kid a bone.

Just looking at it from both sides. I totally see your point though.

Most people underestimate how cut-throat comp sports is nowadays. There's literally no pussification of the kids when it comes to comp sports.

Why do you have to re-direct that towards my kid, Roger? It was a statement in general and nothing specific to my kid.

There is no both sides. If a coach runs his starters into the ground in a game they should have no busines playing in then he is not a good coach but he is a tremendous dick.

I thought the thread was about your kid. This is like herding cats. Wish you guys luck for the upcoming season Pete.

Roger, I was replying to a post. You are jumping to all kinds of conclusions and not reading.
