I think reprisals are a bit overblown as far as what actually happens, but are a real deterrent to any kind of “complaining” none-the-less. As far as what parents do, I think that’s as far ranging as anything else, but I suspect parents of the “better” pitchers are so enthralled seeing their kid out there performing, they really aren’t worrying a lot about much else. 
Never really talked to him about it.
Maybe it would be a good idea for parents of pitchers to actually find out what the coach’s ideas about such things are. In any case, it sure couldn’t hurt.
Sorry I forgot that attachment. Here it is.
