Oriole I agree that at college it is different.

TW I did thje same thing as far as teaching in private but would never coach him in an organized team. You are eithrer favouring him or too hard on him to over compensate.
My wife coached my daughters and was too hard on them.
We have had some very bad experiences with fathers coaching teams and the AAA local organization only allows it when all other possibilities are exhausted. They won't allow fathers to sponsor their son's teams as well.
