Experience of one of son’s travel teammate …
Freshman year the kid wasn’t on the travel squad. By midseason he never got off the bench in lopsided home games. He was the only player who hadn’t got an inning on the field.
All he got from assistants was, “I don’t know.” The kid went to the head coach for a “What’s up” meeting.
The head coach told him by October he knew he wasn’t going to have the kid back next year. Told the kid he didn’t have P5 talent. Was planning on telling him at the end of the season.
The kid verbally went nuts on the coach. Had the coach told him in the fall he could have transferred to a JuCo in the spring. The kid told the coach where he could put his team. Something about the sun not shining. Needless to say this was the kid’s last day on the team.
Blowing up on the coach wasn’t a smart idea. Baseball is a small world. But the coach did jerk him around. The coach lasted three seasons.
