Reply to "Expectations: HS Team vs Travel Team"

Real situation.  Travel ball coach pressured him to pitch in Dec/Jan/Feb, but he chose to rest the arm and ramp back up with his high school team for the season. High school team is giving more practice opportunities, much-needed camaraderie during covid, and the opportunity to be a team leader. Things got negative with travel ball coach, so I’m trying to figure out if my son broke some unwritten rule.

More questions...  Why on earth would a travel coach "pressure" a committed P to pitch?  The primary purpose of travel ball at that age is to provide a vehicle for recruiting.  Yes, there are other purposes but...  agree w/ ReluctantO's - sounds off and we need more context.  Are we talking light pressure/coaxing or actual pressure?  Has travel coach/org been fully supportive and involved in his recruiting efforts?  Understanding of HS committment?  In tune to what is best for his arm from a rest period and ramp up standpoint?
