Reply to "Disrespect the coach, then get him suspended"

Every coach I played for or knew would have kicked this kid and the one who refused to go in off the team no matter how "good" he may be.
It is a shame a coach can be suspended and possibly lose his job over a mere accusation.

Let's be honest, this isn't this guy's "job" (and I'm sure FoxDad would agree). He's a volunteer who gets a stipend for gas money. That's just one of the many ironies with coaching school sports. Parents and admin seem to always forget this point. There is no incentive for this Andover, Mass. coach to coach (3) sports other than love of the games, interest in the kids, and a commitment to serve the community. That's his pay, and yes, he willingly takes on that job.

Hard to fire a volunteer, and even harder to find one.
