Sad but true.
If he's winning....and not mistreating kids then it's not his job to make adjustments....it's the kids. He is there to coach baseball. If he's doing that, making kids better, running a good program and winning games, then he's doing his job. The crybaby parents can do what most crybaby parents do....take their kid somewhere that the grass is gonna be greener (then find out it isn't)
I agree we don't have much info to go on, and personally I prefer the old school approach, but times do change. When I started my career, smoking in conference rooms was common, beer at lunch on Friday's was common, and yelling at co-workers to resolve differences was common. Not anymore. Times change and the people that survive and thrive have to adapt. This includes coaches too.
