I wonder if sometimes you don't like me.
Taking the phone from son and helping to answer questions, I don't feel is the same, as a parent taking the initiative to call a coach and ask what they are going to offer.
Not that is not ok to disagree.

"My advice, call them yourself and ask what the offer is. If they dawdle, ask them what the holdup is if your boy is their # 1 guy????"
TPM reply to Bullysmom:
"I tend to disagree with you, there is a lot wrong with a parent picking up the phone to call a coach and ask what the offer is without an offer. That's up to your son. There's no harm in a parent asking where their son stands in coaches plans, but I wouldn't initiate a phone call for an offer. Most likely you are not going to get the answer you want to hear. Something about a parent picking up the phone to ask how much they are offereing without an offer just doesn't feel right for most coaches".
That's what I said. Parents should by all means be involved in the process, but I think, IMO, there are places you just don't go.
I just can't see Fungo picking up the phone to initiate a phone call asking, "if my son is your #1 guy, what are you going to offer him".
