TPM - when you say PC you mean politically correct - is that right?
I hate to say that if bb1's son transfers he will just face the same stuff. It is possible and the bad coaches do exist but I just hate to think it's that bad all over the US. Maybe I am just naieve or got my head buried in the sand but I just don't think it's that bad.
I feel that I don't play favorites and that I play the best 9 regardless of who you are who your parents are or whatever. I don't care. If your son is good he plays - if he doesn't he sits the bench and we work on it to try to make him better or he gets cut. Not all coaches are like that.
However I can guarantee you that I have had guys who played for me that do say I play favorites or I picked on them or whatever. Every single coach in the world is accused of this.
Sometimes that accusation follows a coach unfairly.
As for TW's post here is how I took it and if I took wrong then I apologize. I felt TW was criticizing us, the posters, for saying these kids who quit are quitters and losers. I also felt he was criticizing us because we didn't realize kids have been the same for the past 20 years.
I do not remember reading a post where someone said this kid or any kid was a loser / quitter for not coming out.
Once again - if I am wrong then I apologize.
