I was a coach and commissioner. I looked at coaches who had players not sign up the following year. I then approached the families and assured them the kid could play for a different team. If I saw a trend with coaches they stopped being coaches.

it's amazing how different the experiences can be, league to league. our league was stellar. we kicked two coaches out in our 5 years there but everyone else was great (not great coaches but great intent and great with the kids). a couple of leagues in our district, though, have had horrible reputations for being run by LL mafias and, in our age group, it got so bad that the league was pretty much destroyed (it still exists but is a shell of its former self). if you ask someone from our league, they'll tell you that little league is a great experience. if you ask someone from one of the other leagues, they'll rag all day on Little League.
