Reply to "Are keyboards creating high-school coach killers?"

Interesting topic.  Yes, parents are a problem.  Yes, some coaches are terrible.  Yes, some good coaches get fired due to parents overstepping.  That sucks! 

But, in general scrutiny is good.  In business and in coaching.  We have a high school varsity coach who is not good.  He runs a poor program.  Very old school guy who does not really know anything about modern baseball.  Two years ago he seriously hurt a pitchers arm having him throw 250 pitches in 4 days before the pitch count rules came in. 

Other coaches in the program complain about him regularly.  But he is a teacher at the school and has been the coach for 25+ years.  He could use some scrutiny, but my kid is in the program so I would never get involved, but I hope others will.
