I'll ask you two questions:
1. If it was so bad, why did your son stay?
2. Would the team have otherwise existed without this Dad coaching?
I just don't buy your disparaging remarks or others like it. Someone has to coach for teams like this to flourish. Most Dad's I know give it there best effort. And even when their sons play more than their ability should allow, it is still only one position out of nine and many other kids benefit.
My suggestion is if you can make it better, then do so either by coaching yourself or finding a qualified coach and then helping him organize and field a team. Often, it is just too easy to complain and then leave it at that.
I'll answer your questions:
1. We never let our kids quit anything.
2. Yes the organization would have put another coach in.
The point you obviously missed, is that daddy ball gives kids unrealistic expectations sometimes because the coach/daddy isn't honest. I had coached before but chose to stop at a certain age. Sounds like I hit a nerve.
