Reply to "Coach Fired for Negative Culture"

That story is disgusting.  Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for a few parents (who know nothing about baseball) to get a good coach run off.  I have seen it myself at a school that one of my son's attended.  In each case the motivation of the parents seems to be the same - they want to see their son on the field whether he deserves to be there or not. This is why I have been vocal in past posts about not keeping a lot of seniors that aren't good enough to play.  Those kids (parents) are always the ones that create the problems. I get all the benefits for seniors that are good kids and I don't want to recreate that discussion here, but that is the risk you take.  School administrations are so afraid of lawsuits that they back down instead of standing up for their coaches (employees).  And at what point do we (as a society) stop catering to millennials and make them conform to the ways of the world?
