Or to look at it another way, the kid is tired of hearing daddy talk about how dumb his coach is and how much more he knows about the game even though he probably didn't make it past middle school playing, so the kid finds a way to make his dad happy and quits the team. I would venture to say there are a great number of coaches that it is "my way or the highway" I doubt you would be very successful as a coach if you where not that way. I would hate to see a program of a coach that changed what they did according to how the wind blew that day, or even what makes the "FANS" happy. Did you ever think there might be a reason certain kids don't play. Just cause you are big does not mean you can play, and just cause you can throw does not mean you can take charge of a huddle and lead an offense. But I am sure you have the years of experience that the people who make these decisions every day do. How many times have you gotten a group of 15-18 year old kids to do anything, much less work as a collective group towards a common goal with people telling them how dumb you are for trying to do things a certain way just because you do it differently than the guy before you who may have possibly but never proven broken a rule here or there to do so?
