I am very sad to say this, but I am glad there are some people out there that feel the same way I do. Scream, yell, stomp all you want to, just don't cuss a child. The coach is supposed to be the adult and should control their emotions. It's for sure the ref's expect the players to on the court.

You must not have kids that play ball or you just don't care what is said to kids in general. Would it be alright and professional for your boss to come up to you and tell you that you s--k?

We have been putting up with this for 3 or 4 years now, it's just getting very old. I coached for two years myself and NEVER told one of the kids that they s--k.

Let me ask you this question, When your child does something wrong do you tell him/her that they stink? I don't. And I would not tell another persons child that they stink either, I guess I just was raised better or have more respect for a human being.

I don't have a problem with my child being screamed at for the right reason. But I do think a better choice of words could have been used. On top of that it was not even during a game. I also think that a coach should not single out just a few players and tell them how bad they do everything, if they are that bad how did they even make the team?

Coach T must have changed the word that was actually used, because stink was not what the coach told our players.

Just wondering what actions other parents would take if their childs coach told them they stink? I personally think this is very unprofessional. If coaches talk like this in front of our kids, its no wonder the kids talk trash on the floor to each other during a game. Does any one know what TSSAA rules are for this kind of behavior.
