Same situation at our school, but didn't involve my son. Coaches son was returning Senior SS. Very good Freshman, better hitter, better fielder, not close really, everyone could see it. It all worked out in the end, but not after some hurt feelings. Bottom line, after 5-6 games the Freshman was moved to SS where he played all 4 years. Coaches son stayed in the lineup, but changed positions. Coach absolutely did the right thing for the team, but to say there was hurt feelings would be an understatement. It's a tough position for a coach to be in. Do the right thing for the whole team, or keep family peace. I already had a tremendous amount of respect for coach prior, but it shot through the roof when he made the switch. It was the right thing to do for the best of the team. There are alot of coaches that don't have the huevos to make the move, or are blinded by loyalty when reality is slapping them repeatedly in the face.
